Where are these horror stories on glass cages? I have never really seen bad stuff about them. Underwater world in roselle park has 3 huge tanks built by them if you want to go look. Two 48 x 72? x 15 or so frag tanks and a 48 x 48 x 18 rimless display tank. They look engineered right bottom and...
Smart man!
I am glad someone knows and understands this. I see it all the time on my and my friends salt water boats every unprotected contact in it has corrosion and if its a high amperage circuit like a 200watt light, just like Magic said this leads to a arc or way more draw amperage draw...
Google for this skimmer, i had one and found alot of threads on it on other sites, its a good skimmer mine worked well. You can also lower and raise the water height in the sump to adjust the unit.
also forgot to mention the skimmer also provides the very important function of gas exchange for the system I dont know to many who would want to run something that makes bubbles in the display tank.

Your milage may vary with this system since theree are small hoses and pipes that could freeze besides the main unit.
Its most likey cheaper and less time consuming to just mount it somewhere else in the house where it wont freeze. You...
Interesting thread...
I have a story to go along with it...
I have always bought dead rock from reefers who gave up, 3 of them in particular gave up due to FIRE, well that and two said their wives wanted to kill them after it happend. Reefers definatly have a habit of overloading everything...

I believe you said you did not seee a benifit from anyone product? I would like to try some of these but it seems expensive to dump all these chems regularly.
I am a reefer originally from new york city I was able to reef with the tap from there. No problem.
Then I moved to NJ and tried the same thing. No way! All I do is grow green water with it. I tried every additive and was able to get the green water to go away. Until I add more water either...
You can use it with Biofuel if you want to stick to Brightwell products, its also a carbon source like the Start your mentioned. I believe it to be fool proof dosage wise barring you dont dump a cup in at a time :p . I have noticed less algae forming on the glass from every other day to maybe...
You could mount your waste bin up above 4ft or so and plumb your washing machine to it, the presure from the gravity of the water being higher then the machine will fill it. You can valve it so if its out of water you can just switch over to the normal supply.
Could also just fill the machine...
I have seen two seperate experienced reefers bleach many corals they have put under powerful LEDs, they both believe they are way more powerful than they thought. Can these things be raised if you end up with such a unit to tone them down a little?
Just wondering what happen after the changes, was it the cuc that died? I understand they can wipe a tank in a day with their defensive toxins if stressed into it.
I am sure the LFS store will help, have not spoken to them about it yet. I was calling AGA to see if I could get them to send a tank right to me instead of me having to lug them back and forth. I have spoken to them in the past and they were very helpful so I thought I would take a shot.
Here...
Thank you all for the offers and advice!
It is leaking from a seal in that corner it seems I can not find water in the back of the tank or at any other seal above it. So its most likly coming from the the corner under the brace.
I will install a funnel there for now and catch the water till...
This is a picture of the bottom back right corner of brand new 120 gal AGA tank I bought and setup about 2 1/2 months ago. To replace a leaking 120 gal tank that took a hit and started leaking! ??? ???
I dont know to cry or jump off a bridge LOL.
I rented a Uhaul van and moved this tank from...
I want to buy some dead rock suitable for a reef tank enough to build a 2' X 1' x 2' pile or how ever much you have that might get me part of the way there. Within 30 miles of Rahway, NJ 07065 .
Thanks!
I know a few guys who have reef tanks with much higher TDS than that and have kept all manner of corals for years with no RO units. They just use good quality detoxifiers/dechlorinators.
Home depot can never cut two pieces of wood within my tolerances even if they would do the plastic for you it will be 1/4 off from the next piece they cut for you. Go to a high end cabinet maker or someone along those lines.
