I might be moving my reef to my sisters place in span-away in the fall. Just wanted to plan ahead on how Ill be doing my water making. I am worried about the change in water source. Currently I get my water from our private well...so it doesn't get tampered with via the public water works. Its...

found out its been siting out for 2 weeks in the sun. I probably will have it sitting for another 2 weeks. Gonna see about boiling it...just a matter of finding something that will hold a large amount of rocks...or at least 10-20 lbs at a time over the stove.

Didn't know that could happen. But I don't see any harm in it. If anything, I would see it as a nice bonus to add a plankton drip for your corals provided its not overrunning your system with nuisance algae, and its not plugging up the reactor. Id ask around at a few forums and see what folks...

I'm picking up 100lbs of base rock from a local reefer today, its been dried for a while now, but I still want to ensure that it is absolutely dead and pest free before I introduce it to my system. Is a vinegar bath or time in the oven an option? I don't know how long its been sitting out of...

No, you haven't been over, very few have actually. Its at my dads, property and he is extremely tight about strangers coming over. In fact, I got a lot of flack just from the time Jesse used his truck to help me deliver a tank I bought from him. Im in the process of setting up a 180g waist...

boy oh boy, was I wrong. its a Melanurus Wrasse. Reefkeeping Magazine - Fish Profile Sorry for the mixup :)

oh cool. walmart too. just down the street.

home depot or lowes perhaps?

Somehow I doubt that any brand will do, so is there a specific brand anyone can recommend? I want to spray paint some PVC black.

I think I like the tupper-ware idea. As for the Kind of wrasse....wow this is embarrasing, but I dont remember. It was something like a chaulera wrasse. Honestly all I remember is it started with "Chau" I looked online for pics but couldnt find a match. He's got a green base, with...

Im setting up a new tank and would really like to put my wrasse in it. But it will be bare bottom tank and he does sleep in the sand every night. Any thoughts or comments? Id really like to hear from folks who do/done it themselves and find out how it pans out.

Ya, you should be fine, also a high traffic area means air is constantly being replaced. My situation was an aquarium room where the only activity is once a day for 15-30 min.

brands also matters. ex: eheim and tunze pumps Ive heard of going for a decade or more.

My main reason for contemplating the swap is my nitrates. I just cant keep them under control. I know with a bare tank Ill be ok. My only worry right now is the new wrasse I got. I really like him(and I needed a good maintenance wrasse), but will he be ok not having sand to sleep in? I was...

Just curious how many of you are running bare bottom in your systems and how well you like it? I'm doing a new build in the next month and I think Ill try bare bottom this time around. Honestly im on the fence right now. I personally don't care for the sand bottom in my 125 DT, seems to be a...

They had 77 bags in Spokane, they will toss a few in the back of the truck when they do the weekly delivery. Took all of 5 min total and Ill have it on Friday! $35 a bag, goodbye foam wall! Thanks everyone, Ill be sure to do a build diary for yall :)

I tried the manufacturer, still haven't gotten a hold of them. As for the other idea, gonna try that right now. Thanks.

New upcoming project, but I don't want to pay $75 shipping for 2 bags of concrete mix: EMACO S88 CI, SPRAYABLE, FIBER-REINFORCED STRUCTURAL REPAIR MORTAR (55lb) Its Emaco s88 ci marine concrete. Anyone know a local place off hand that might sell some specialty stuff, or at least special order...

Just a heads up. The small fan is still going strong. Since its so low in wattage, I just let it blow 24/7 and it keep the whole room dry. I have a spare for when it burns out eventually. But for now, its doing an amazing job.

i know a reefer with a pair of 5 year old tunze wavemakers on pulse 24/7. thats alot of on/off action. hes never had a problem. they are great pumps. you will be fine
