    How far can a skimmer fly?

    Clean the crack out as best you can. Get some weld-on #4 and let seep into the crack by capillary action. It will weld it together as good as new. If that doesn't work, use #16 as mentioned earlier. Geez, don't panic already. Easy fix.

    Reef Chemistry Cheat Sheet

    "The concept was introduced by S.P.L. Sørensen in 1909, and is purported to mean "pondus hydrogenii" in Latin. However, most other sources attribute the name to the French term pouvoir hydrogène. In English, pH can stand for "hydrogen power," "power of hydrogen," or "potential of...

    Not to nit pick but pH is "potential of hydrogen" not "power of hydrogen"

    My New camera!!

    My point and shoot isn't cutting it. I'm glad you posted. I'm looking at SLR's. Used to do alot of SLR stuff with regular film in high school. You have a black frame around them, did you photoshop them? How much tweeking was necessary in photoshop if you did? The first pictures seemed to have...

    Starting over....(pic intense)

    Well, after careful planning and consideration, aka a nap, I think if I want to keep this a DIY project I am not going to be able to bring the tank to the corner. I believe that corner may be load bearing. So I'll need to center it on that wall. This is a new house and I decided I might stay...

    Quite possibly a dumb Live Rock question

    I would say that the chances of you getting a rare coral, or even a brown button polyps is about 1000x less that getting a mantis shrimp. Its pretty rare that you get a free coral with you liverock.

    Starting over....(pic intense)

    And now I'm close to done. I have to build the fireplace mantel and do some trim work, and I'm not satisfied. The tank is too low, the drain I built in under it does not drain the water, I can't reach things, bulkheads are difficult, I don't trust the stand so I can't work under it. Plus a...

    Quite possibly a dumb Live Rock question

    Monty, While I agree with you whole heartedly, you made the controlled environment sound like a bad thing. There is nothing natural about your reef tank. It is an artificially created enclosed attempt at an ecosystem. Putting a Hawaiin yellow tang with a Red sea purple in my case, is hardly...

    Macroalgae

    If you can get that red algae stuff (Gracilaria parvispora) to grow, it makes great herbavore food. But as far as nutrient export and pod cultivation, Chaeto is more than enough.

    Quite possibly a dumb Live Rock question

    Man what a dumb question! Just kidding. I got into a heated debate once on liverock. I'm not sure why everything people discuss now days has to become a heated debate. When the folks that pioneered the Berlin system first introduced LR, the benefit was the bacteria that the LR had. Hitchhikers...

    Boring Pics of new corals

    No I didn't use the flash. They are taken under 10k MH. Alot of them are kinda brown. They will color up in a couple weeks. I bought a 30 frag pack from reefer madness. Pretty diverse selection. Yongi's, milli's, pociolopora, birdsnest, looks like 3 monti's. It'll be interesting to see what they...

    I got a new RBTA, Neener neener neener..

    Wow a catch phrase. Where do I get one of those?

    I got a new RBTA, Neener neener neener..

    You can cut it across the mouth. If you start the cut it will split or some actually completely cut it in half. I don't have the guts. This is just what I heard. He's fully acclimated, bubbles have formed (last one I had didn't form the bubbles) and he's staying put. Here's a question for you...

    What does everyone do?

    Just an interesting note about my job, and I mention it because I like to feel superior to the poor. I work in a hospital and the job requires me to be on call. If I get called in, I am paid for 2 hours minimum at time and a half which is abooooot 90 bucks per call back. I got called in twice...
