    What's Your Sand Depth?

    under the 1 1/2 I was going for the 2 1/2, but i was convinced by a very convincing, convincer not to go above the 1 inch . It was either to go for 1 inch or the 9 inch that would of matter, anything in between is pure waste of time according to him and a few article i red. His tank is 51 year...

    Water Changes

    I don't do it for the nitrate or any other reason than change the water. My parameters are very good even after a month. Nitrates are untracable , but i think just to dilude the water is good. I dose so to change the water every 2 weeks is a waste for me. The tank is healthy. I know of some old...

    The best for my 65 G reef

    Using silicone and foam Part of the structure i'll be using silicone , specially at the tips of the branches where zip ties would be too bulky and foam will also play its part in holding rocks as well as hidding the zip ties and the pvc. This is the left branch of the second structure...

    The best for my 65 G reef

    Second concept The second sculpture must be flush, but flexible to accomodate the curve in the back wall, for the waterflow. The use of eggcrate will help stablilise the structure and give it flexability. You see here where the connection will be with the return pump and the hole...

    The best for my 65 G reef

    The second sculpture For the second sculpture , other consideration had to be taken into account. For one ; it is going to be flush with the back wall which is not flat all the way. Second it will be part of the return water process. The return pump will feed the structure made of PVC with the...
