    Question on "welding" broken chocolate Fountain

    Hey everyone. Ok, this place has given me so much insight through the years on reefing, figured I'd give it a shot. Friend of mine has a chocolate fountain and a piece of plastic that sits in the chocolate and holds up the tower snapped off. Tried Crazy glue, no use, so was thinking weldon...

    Tank crash survivors

    I am amazed as to how short a time it takes to ruin your tank, and so long to get it back. After years of dedication to my tank, I was out of it for sometime allowed the tank to crash, and watched it decline incredibly. People used to come to my house and marvel at the colors of the tank, only...

    WTB: Rock and Fish (Springfield)

    After a long time off, I am jumping back in and looking to get some fish for the tank. I am looking for Yellow Tang, Sailfin, Foxface and some other reefsafe fish for me, and my brother in law has a 220 fish only and he is looking to stock up also angels, triggers, and the like. If you have any...

    Filling/Testing CO2 tank, where to go Union Cty?

    Hey everyone. My 10 lb tank is out and I need to fill it and test it, and now my 5 lb is out (no test needed). I have had my tank filled at SOS Gas in Kearny when I visit the parents, and I know that I can have it tested in Randolph, but I am wondering if there is some place closer. I see...

    Rock Collecters-Not Reef?

    Nice hookup. I will try to give you some basic information and maybe help you from here. I teach Bio but my minor was in Earth Science so I will do my best. In regards to the rock, it depends on where it is being deposited from. If it was a dump prior that was layed by some other ship time ago...

    Sand for Sand bed question.

    Did you get the dry sand from Foster/Smith and how bad was the shipping? I have been in the reef game for a few years, but I still learn everyday. My tank is BB and have Southdown in remote beds, so I really have not been looking around on the sand issue, so I am happy to take any info that is...

    Sand for Sand bed question.

    Ok, from what I have been reading elsewhere online and here, looks like the entire issue with the concern over the silica in the sand was blown way out of proportion. Bill, I am going to have him do what you have, will pick up sand at the HD and add a few bags of the CaribSea to the mix, along...

    Sand for Sand bed question.

    Hey everyone. Did some searches here on the sand topic, I am just looking for some info on people using it long term. I see that some people have been using the Home Depot White Play sand in the tank mixed with some live sand (Carib Sea) and was wondering how it has been. Someone I know is...

    Salt

    Bill, When it comes to salt, there are as many opinions as there are people on this earth. When it comes to salt, you have some people that are VERY loyal to some and others that will buy what is on sale. There is no substitute for the real deal, so my opinion is try them out and see what...

    Little Giant Pump

    I had two a long time ago and they were loud for me, not sure if times have changed. Switched over to a PanWorld and has done me well for three years running.
