    Power head..bio cube

    I have a 29 gallon biocube. I use the stock pump and it just hanks there, from time to time it makes noise. Perhaps it's just the angle it's sitting at and it's vibrating against the side. How about putting a padding in between it and the side to absorb the vibration???

    Could these be the exact same species?

    maybe it split to reproduce???? I have seen that with the small hitchhiker stars.

    water evap and condensation

    What temp is your tank? It wouldn't evaporate as much if it was cooler.

    Overflow Box

    Alex is right on. Mine is not quite 1/2 inch (I dont recall how big, but it's bigger than 3/8) and I regret it. I got a small goby and it was freaked when I added him to the tank, he darted all over the tank. Where did he end up? Yea, after the second time fishing the little bugger out of...

    Overflow location

    Sounds like a plan. Good luck... :)

    Overflow location

    I have a corner overflow and I hate that it takes up so much space. My next tank will be out the back. That's what I vote for, but it seems like that option has a lot more work involved for you.

    Poll: What type of tank do you have??

    I have been trying to get a bigger tank, but she doesn't like the idea of that much water in one place. So I guess I am stuck with smaller tanks. It's not so bad. :)

    acrylic scratch removel

    Novus cant be used underwater. I know there is a micro-mesh polishing kit that can be used under water. I dont know how well it works. But I have been thinking of trying it.

    Glass Drilling?

    Check out youtube. There are a ton of videos on the subject.

    Acrylic tank with removable overflow. Is it possible?

    Just like a glass-holes overflow, but through the bottom and not the side. That would totally work.

    Starting Over and need to eratticate Aiptasia now

    Check with Barrier, they have had them in the past. I have a couple friends that had similar outbreak and attempted to take the rocks out to target just the aiptasia (with little sucess). The only way that really worked did also kill everything else on the rock. I guess the big question is...

    How much bowing is normal on an acrylic tank?

    On my 125 gallon, I bought it used and was concerned about the seams. I reinforced them like peppie but less elegant. I used square stock. I have sand and the front corners don’t have seams, so it's not that noticeable and I can sleep at night. :)

    How much bowing is normal on an acrylic tank?

    Yup crazing. Sounds like it's not an issue. My tanks are all 3/8" and yes they bow, but it's all about the seams.

    How much bowing is normal on an acrylic tank?

    How do the seams look? Any signs of stress? If yes, you could reinforce the seams. If no, set it up and just check the seams occasionally.

    Red Slime Algae Remover/Protein Skimmer

    There are other things you can do to help. Better flow, decrease the time your lights are on, etc. Do a search for cyano and you'll find plenty of info.

    just picked up a 90G tank, need to build a stand......

    I think 4x4s would be overkill. 2x4, 2x6 would work fine. There are plans online that you can use. I guess the first question is if you like the stand you have? I'd also look at build threads for 90 gallon tanks to see what other people have done and maybe find a better design. It's all...
