Specially if you use the durso standpipe.

Since you are asking how to do it, I would advise you not to do it yourself and to wait for your friend or someone who has experience with soldering since you will be fixing circuit that handles a lot of power and you don't want to burn your house. Cold joints can at those powers can create the...

If it is part of a fixture, are there any fans that must be turned on in order for a light to be alowed to work? Is it a double-ended or a mogul base? It might be that the contacts between bulb and the socket is not established in which case you might be able to bend the contact surfaces...

Just think about other bacteria, parasites and spores, eggs and larvae of other unwanted and potentially harmfull criters that you will collect along or inside your pods?

How long was the LR in the tank? Was it fully cured?

Build frame with a PVC pipes and glue rocks to them with the foam sealant like this http://greatstuff.dow.com/greatstuff/diy/products/index.htm . I have seen that some people in this club have done that and you can find other people on the web and how the did it. The other way is to use the...

Assuming you are talking about the MegaFlow overflow kit from AllGlass (durso pipe), the only important thing is to make the small hole on the top of the pipe above the water (controls the intake of air in the pipe) and the bent down intake and all other holes, fully submerged in the water...

It is a well known fact that Yellow (and some other) Tangs are very good for controlling the hair algae and you will find plenty of threads in this club and on the web mentioning it. It will not hurt them.

don't worry.

Chemicals are injected with syringe directly inside the body of aptasia. Your corals will starve well before aptasia will, which is type of anemone and is far more hardy and flexible in feeding then corals. Try using peppermint shrimps.

Middle as in the middle of the circle of the polyp, or between the polyps?

I am thinking of making a Ca reactor for my 75 gal tank that should support the aggressive growth of SPS, so I would like to hear your practical recommendations and experiences about how much flow of water there should be through the media (media/flow reaction time), the amount of media, and...

That all depends on if you are trying to gorge your corals and fish like I am doing ::) or you don't feed anything in the tank. If the skimmer's output is mixed with overflow's outpt (in the same sock), then it is certainly reprocessing the same water far more then it should. :) If you want to...

I am really curious about this. Phyllis, do you know his tank personally? All of his pictures are showing small frags, and not established colonies. Did he have the same improvements with the established colonies as well? Could it be that the corals have just finished their acclimation? Also...

These are NOT aminoacids! These (in the article!) are trace elements ions (K+ = cations, A- = anions). So, while it could have been beneficial in his tank, it does not mean that it will be in someone elses. If it indeed helped his corals, that meas that the particular combination of salt he was...

First of all it might not be the issue of the skimmer itself: - How much are you feeding and/or using additives? If you are feeding very little or not at all there would be nothing to skim in the first place. - How efficient is your overflow? Is it pulling the surface water from the tank? - I...

Good catch. I didn't notice it was posted on 4/1. I just thought it was someone who was flaming :D

Beautiful !!! Of course it is not for real. My favorite part is : Rearanging rock so that fish can be COMPLETELY in the water :D Industrial surplus pump - he just removed the yellow stuff :D ! Cleaning and removing UGF with WD-40 ;D Vacuuming water out of the tank with the shop-vac 8)...

While this is a good point, this answers why they should do it. That is precisely why most of us would go to the the "brick and mortar" shop - that ability of seeing and choosing the specimen by ourselves, in advance of purchase. This is the edge that these shops have over online retailers...
