    my diy fish food recipe

    When we make up a batch we go and get a bunch of the small 1/4 oz condiment cups with lids on them and put a scoop of food in each cup then freeze them. It takes a little more time and a little more room in the freezer but we have perfectly portioned servings that a tank sitter can easily use...

    Too much light - Burning my corals

    You will burn out that 400W bulb if you keep running it at the 250W setting. I think you just need to acclimate to the ligths better. We have a 75 gallon tank with two 400W MH over it and the corals are doing fine.

    I agree with TJL I would do over the top returns with either seaswirls or an oceans motions device.

    Acrylic tank with removable overflow. Is it possible?

    I like Chicas idea with the bulkheads that sounds like it would work great. Only question is how long are the threaded portion of the bulkheads? I am not sure what thickness the bottom of the tank will be. I don't know if a bulkhead would be long enough to go through the tank bottom plus an...

    Acrylic tank with removable overflow. Is it possible?

    I don't want to have a coast to coast on the tank because it will be viewed from three sides and I want to leave the ends full width. I was thinking I could have overflows made that had four sides with just the top and bottom open and then I would just have to seal the bottom to the tank.

    Acrylic tank with removable overflow. Is it possible?

    I am looking at getting an acrylic tank made and had an interesting idea. We want a tank that is 84"'long and would be set up in our current house with that length against a wall. The problem is, in the future we hope to have a house with a penninsula style tank so if we have the tank built...

    The last episode of TANKED!

    I totally agree with MFINN and SKIMMY. This show is not good for our hobby in the slightest if you are concerned about the animals at all. If you are a vendor or an event coordinator then yeah it probably is a great show, but only for money making purposes. They absolutely should be telling...

    Aluminum Welding?

    We weld Aluminum on a daily basis with both a push/pull gun and a spool gun with MIG welders. We have never cleaned anything with acetone just a stainless steel brush. Most of our aluminum is used on haul truck trailer lids in a mining environment so the welds have to hold up to some extreme...

    Very Impressed!

    We haven't gotten the chance to go to the physical store but have ordered corals online a couple of different times and the experience has been great. Hopefully we will make a trip over and get to check everything out in person.

    Changing over to a different tank

    You don't want to use the GE II it has the mold inhibitors in it. The stuff I use is GE I Window, Door, Attic, Basement 100% silicone.

    Changing over to a different tank

    Again why is GE silicone a no now? If you look it up on the web there are alot of people that have used it without problem. I am not trying to argue just trying to find out if I need to switch from what I have been using.

    Changing over to a different tank

    Did GE change their formula recently then? I built my sump with GE I around five years ago and haven't had any issues. I have also used more of it recently and still no problems. I know it used to be the thing that everyone used. Did they change something?

    Do any of you keep a wrasse in a bare bottom system?

    I know some people will put a tupperware or other container full of sand in BB tanks for the wrasses to sleep in.

    Question regarding upgrade to the VorTech

    I don't think you would be happy with just one powerhead. I know the vortech can move a lot of water I just don't think one would be enough on a 210 gallon tank. No way you could eliminate all dead spots.

    Need help with Skimmer

    We have a Euroreef that does this whenever we shut it off. I can get it started by blowing air down the venturi line. I usually use a turkey baster it works pretty well.

    How to turn OFF 75 GPD RO/DI 5 Stage *PLUS* System

    If you do as TheH suggested then you need to make sure your RO/DI has an Auto Shut Off Valve built into it or I believe waste water will keep running.
