    My 7yo's tank upgrade

    So I'm finishing up an upgrade for my zoa tank. My son, who has a beta, named 'Red Interest' (as the fish is red and seemed interested in my son as he was by the bowl in the shop), asks if he can upgrade his tank as well. I say sure. He requests $50, I tell him that if we're going to buy a...

    The ancient game...

    When the transfer was done. When the livestock was moved. When all was settled. I took the old reliable tank. I emptied it of the remaining water. I didn't want to leave any invert behind. So I sifted through the sand I began playing the old reefer's game... 'Is this alive? Where the H#&& did it...

    PVC plumbing advice please

    So I'm hard plumbing my first tank. I have two 1" downpipes (one is an emergency overflow) to the sump, and one 3/4" return. When you guys plumb this PVC into the bulkheads do you just silicone it and push it in tight, or do you use PVC cement and make a hard seal between the PVC pipe and...

    Marinepure question

    I just broke down a tank lost to algae. Had a bunck of Marinepure blocks in there (which are now stored in a QT tank). The surfaces are clean. Is there some sort of cleansing ritual for them? Do I just dump them? Are they safe to transfer to another tank? Any info appreciated.

    Back. New tank(ish), adoptions.

    Hey all, Update. Was out of state for an extended period, then laying low completing some heavy courses. Been a heck of a few months and have been run ragged. So I took a week to regather myself, ignored everything, and built a new tank... Before anyone asks, the CD on the stick is actually...

    Unofficial Board meeting report 4/20

    IMPORTANT STUFF MISSED AT THE 4/20 MEETING! I present the evidence... There was no mention of developing a sandproof Ukelele. There was no mention in how to protect the club from 20 pound bombs. The fact that cavalry sabres were present should have offered a marketing opportunity for...
