    Crack in bottom

    Your are not messing with the integrity of the tank, this type fix would probably make it stronger. The side do not rest on the bottom. The bottom slide into the sides. You can silicon the glass together anyway you want and it will hold water. However, height of tank, thickness of glass...

    Crack in bottom

    The fix will work, however, you would have to cut away the old silicon on the inside around the bottom. Don't cut between the panes. Then you would have to have the plate cut to fit exactly and lay in the bottom of the tank. Once you have it prepend and ready you would lay a bead of Silicon...

    Crack in bottom

    Well you could place a new sheet of glass in the bottom and silicon it in. This is still a little work but would make the tank usable.

    Unsuccessful for three years...

    Have you ever treated your tank with something that is not reef safe? I have had a similar problem with a 125 I have been working on, it also has crushed aragonite for substrate. Softies seem to do great and the hard corals seemed to slowly fade out and die. I was wondering if I should pull...

    Coral/reef tanks also require better water movement.

    crack in tank, how bad is real bad?

    Well you can cut the silcon around the glass and remove it. You can find another tank and put the overflow in and drill it out the back, usually the bottoms are tempered and you can not drill the bottom.

    A question regarding a tank build with dry coral

    Hello and welcome to the hobby. To help in your original question and answer form you local FS. The smell is from the dying off of the live critters and things living on the rock. You can "restart" or re cycle rock if you are worried about the above mentioned pest or undesirables. Simply let...

    Can Adding a new piece of rock cause a cycle?

    You can also wash it down, power wash to remove any left over organics or anything else that could be in the tiny holes. Could also soak it in a bucket of water. If it is a dead rock you can usually get some algae groth as the rock matures to your tank. One rock should not cycle your whole...

    return pump

    A sump is different than a refugium. A high flow sump might work just fine, however if your are going to actually use a refugium then you should have a flow rate from around 400 gpm to a maximum of 750 gpm. Anything faster than the 750 greatly reduce the benifits gained from a refugium. If...

    Hyposalinity Questions

    I would just see how the fish does without anything in the tank. Keep the lights low. You can put in some plants, culerpa for them to hide in. But really the fish should be fine.

    Hyposalinity Questions

    Also possibly cleaner shrimp do wonders in tank maintenance of the fish. I have even had some in with Triggers. Is the tank the fish are in a reef? If not you could possibly find a ich treatment for the tank while you are treating the fish.

    Switching To Freshwater Questions.

    If you fill the tank with fresh water the coaline will fall off afte a short time, then just rinse it out, set it up and let it cycle like you said.

    Cloudy RO DI Water + Salt mix in New Brute Trashbin

    The best thing would be to test the water for proper parimeters before using it. A fish only tank is not going to matter as much as a reef tank. Some of the cloudy water maybe cause by something that was in the salt mix and did not mix like it was supposed to. Dependinding on which salt I have...

    Spa flex plumbing question

    Yes the glue and everything is the same as the PVC. Try and add a couple of 45's to give the drain a angle and smooth out the drop into the sump. The flex pipe does not flex that much. It really helps in matching up in tight places where the ridgid pipe wont flex. But just replacing the...

    Cloudy RO DI Water + Salt mix in New Brute Trashbin

    Should always add your salt to your water. Not your water to your salt. It has been mentioned in some previous thread that adding water to salt can crash the calcium and maybe affect PH. I have always filled my bucket with water and then added my salt since then. Have you tested your...
