    60 gallon frag system build

    Cool Pep! That is interesting. I will need to see if it is available in my area. Thanks for sharing. ( I bet I can make one btw ;) )

    60 gallon frag system build

    Pretty cool Guerry! Thanks for the link. I have a nail that is over 200 years old and a spike also from a house I worked on. I'll get some shots of them later for you guys to see. I am always fascinated by stuff like that. I also have some fairly old bungs that I extracted from a house frame in...

    How much bowing is normal on an acrylic tank?

    Looks a bit excessive to me. That tank should have been built out of 1/2" not 3/8". Looks like it will be fine though. I would expect that from 3/8". Just try to take your pictures from now on head on ;) Look forward to the build thread! Frank

    My Pom-Pom is melting????

    I agree with T. Something happened to that one stalk. The rest look fine so I would not worry about it. Tonight after lights out you may want to do a little night surfing with a red light and see who's getting to it. It could either be the ric or another soft coral. Just leave that stalk for...

    60 gallon frag system build

    Not much has change in nails over the past 150 years This is what most of them looked like After making some tools to reshape the trim it's starting to look pretty good actually. I have one door done. When I finish I will update this project. I have about a week to go on them. Frank

    60 gallon frag system build

    Im with you Peppie. Everyone on my other board votes for the blue but the green is just too cool. In person it just stands out and says "I'm cool, I'm green!" Reminds me of a cool air intake pipe I saw once on the Dodge forum I'm a member on. Here's a little project I am working on. These...

    Red Slime Algae Remover/Protein Skimmer

    You can safely do water changes daily of 30-40% in an established system. I am a bit afraid to ask what product you used though. Cyano is not a quick fix and you more then likely just put a band aid on your problem and it will rear it's ugly head again soon. The best way to go is starting a...

    60 gallon frag system build

    Sorry to be out for so long everyone! I have been working like a horse. This week is a bit slower so I will be getting some more done on this build. I have fired up the skimmer and it produced tons of foam just as expected. I will do a video on it before I re mod it again. My thinking is...

    Adios Skimmer

    +1 IS that skimmer you have now removable? It looks like the sapphire. If removable you can use that chamber for a carbon bag to rest in for passive flow. That will benefit you a lot more then some tinker toy skimmer. For best result with carbon I suggest kneading the mesh bag daily for a...

    LED builds by Guerry

    How is the noise with those fans Guerry? I have been doing some research on them and have found some that are supposed to be almost non noticeable. There are new ones coming out soon called A-1. The ones I have now have zero motor noise but the wind noise upsets me. Here is a link to some...

    Live stock from ocean? Ok to add into aquarium?

    Welcome to RF Andy :) Yes, you can keep stuff in your aquarium from the Persian Gulf but I would not rely on it for water. To much surface contaminates. You could have a serious algae outbreak from surface water due to the bacteria population. I would not hesitate though to taking live stock...

    Let's talk about Bacteria in a Bottle

    If your not testing daily then you cannot understand the cycle this produce will perform. So there is really no telling where you stand right now. It's too late now unless your willing to start over and test from day one, to the completion of the cycle. Welcome to RF kp! Sorry to be out for so...

    Test Results. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree. if it was a spike the ammonia would not be zero. as for the hi Ca++ Peppie, you can bring that down fairy fast with water changes and stopping the dosing. Were you dosing a calcium product for any particular reason? What was it? It may be the reason for your lps issues. Was it kalk...

    60 gallon frag system build

    LOL Mike :D Have you ever seen a tree in a back yard, in Charleston SC on TV? They usually have jars, pots, bottles and so on hanging from them. (don't ask me why) In NY they would call the cops for hanging twisted pink pipes from the trees, here they give you the thumbs up :D I'm being...
