    Drilling a glass tank

Drain the tank don't try it with water inside you are going to want the glass piece that you drill facing up, besides you don't want the extra pressure from the water in the tank.

    Heres the information I have from Warner Marine 250ml (8oz) treats 125 gal. 500ml (16oz) treats 250 gal. 1000ml (32oz) treats 500 gal. I do believe the Warner Marine product is the same so the usage should the same, although I don't think the amount you use is important. You need to be...

    Sump/Refugium

    What kind of calerpa is that anyway:lol: Overall your design looks good but you might want to lower the final wall, the one before the pump. That will be the compartment in which the water level will fluctuate. With the final wall that high you will get a waterfall affect as your level drops...

    Chillers

    Erik I just picked up a Pacific Coast 1/10hp and put it on my tank last weekend. Although I think it may end up being small I'm hoping that it will be enough. With the recent warm weather my tank was creeping up to 82 83 and last year hit 86 a couple of times. My house stays closed up all day...

    Oh good old Bush

    Well put Osterman I agree. I'm sure ther are some liberal Bush bashing sites (maybe thats where that origanal post came from) as well as conservitive Kerry bashing sites where those opinions would be more at home. I don't see anything in that post that affects my aquarium or will help me out...

They are out most of the time but do spend some time under the rock during the day. They are always hiding at night. They always come out when ever food is added. I do have...

    One of my dealers has sent me this report on synthetic salts mixes. Has anyone seen this, does it have any merit? He is always looking for the best products to sell and was wondering if this was something to look into. The study was done by an independent lab that supposedly has no affiliation...
