    Plumbing question now

    I am going to plumb the 265 tonight. I measured it all out last night and it turns out that I don't have much vertical space between the bottom of the tank and the top of the sump. Is there a drawback or problem if I have to glue the valve, quick disconnect and a 90° elbow all pretty much flush...

    Pump advice

    Hey guys, I am helping someone set up a 265 gallon tank (7'x2'x30"). I am going to build the sump this weekend and I am looking for advice on which return pump to use. I dislike Mags so I am looking to avoid them. It's going to be an African Cichlid tank (boooo, I know) so I don't need the crazy...

    It has to be done.... Selling my tank

    So I have talked to a few people here about it and I think the time has come. My tank crashed (and CJs) and we can't figure out why. I lost a lot of zoos and palys. Clam is fine and so are the fish but I just don't have it in me to do this all over again. So, it's going to be someone else's...

    Rough Easter

    I got a call this morning that my brother in law Tom lost his battle with brain cancer early this morning. He was only 33 yrs old. It has been coming for the past week or so but it really doesn't make it any easier. It's hard to even imagine right now. I can't even imagine how his parents and...

    Brand new MP10w ES busted

    I bought a new MP10w ES a few weeks ago. Bought it online because no one around here had them in stock. I got it April 19th and the manufacture date was April 12th. Sounds good right? Wrong! I started getting stall codes and after some fiddling it seemed to be OK. It wasn't. It turned out that...

    My sick Clownfish

    It seems my female Picasso Clown has come down with yet another sickness. She was pretty infested with ich. I treated her wih copper and it's pretty much gone. While she had ich her tail started to disappear. I figured some secondary bacerial infection got to her. I started treating that with...

    WTB: 150w MH fixture

    My sister wants to set her 20 extra high tank up as a planted tank and we were thinking a 150 MH would do nicely. I was hoping for a pendant type hanging one. Anyone have one at a reasonable price? I can also trade some zoa frags + some cash too. LMK Thanks!

    Gurgling overflow

    So I got my tank set up, it's all running but the overflow is gurgling. It's a glass holes 700gph. It has a 1 1/2" pipe from it into a 3 section 20 long sump. The return pump is a Sicce Syncra 5. I think it's too strong but I'm hoping once I get the reactor hooked up it will work OK. It's...

    Acans in Bridgewater 08807

    So, I have a few (5 or 6) Acan colonies (5 or 6 heads each) that have (thus far) survived the unknown Acan killer in my tank. Is it something in the water? Something picking on them? Not too sure but I've decided that the best thing to do is to rehome them. Everything else is looking great...

    ESV salt

    I'm switching over to ESV. Got a box from OGII at a great price so I figured why not? So, for anyone using it, how do you mix it? I know weight is more accurate than volume but I don't have a digital scale that I would trust. Anyone have any suggestions for a good scale? Thanks!

    Murals at the Jersey City Police Station

    I was working over on Central Ave. in Jersey City the other day and saw these murals painted there. Kinda surprised to see them on a Police Station but they are pretty well done.
