Flathead screwdrivers work too.

You can't enlarge the holes of a reef ready tank that is drilled at the factory. They drill the holes then temper the glass, if you try to drill it, it's gonna shatter on you. If you want larger holes you'd be better off keeping that tank and drilling the back for your lines. Unless you plan on...

It's really pretty simple to do. If ya need any let me know.

What type of frag rack you looking for? Some egg crate and acrylic can make you a simple rack that hangs on the edge of your tank. Here's 2 that I made for my tanks. They can be made in any size you want them.

If you're going to go to Tropiquarium then I recommend a stop at Reefs to Reptiles also. They are just north of Trop on the opposite side of the street. It's a smaller store but they have a lot of great frags and some of the less common fish and inverts too. Definitely worth stopping in.

That will depend on the size of the toadstool. You can usually tell when they are on their way out and remove them from the tank. If they remain closed for a long time (week or more), have flesh falling off or fall apart when touched then it would be a good time to remove them. If the flesh is...

Just out of curiosity, are you running a calcium reactor?

LOL. Once it's built you'll see what I was trying to explain.

The length of the bottom is 20.5. The side pieces will sit on top of the bottom piece thus they won't add any length to it. It looks confusing and I'm trying to explain it as easily as I can. Sorry if I am confusing you more.

No because the front and back pieces will sit inside the side pieces. The internal dimension is 13" so with an extra 1/4" for the front and back panels you need 13 1/2" for the total length of the sides. The internal dimensions will be 13x20 while the outside dimensions are 13.5 x 20.5.

The side panels sit on top of the bottom piece and the front and back will fit against the edge of the bottom piece. He is using 1/4" acrylic so that is why you will notice the difference in some of the measurements.

Just a little bit of info, using water from an existing tank won't really help your tank cycle any faster. The beneficial bacteria you need to cycle live on surfaces such as glass, rock and sand, they are not water borne bacteria. It is highly possible that is the source of your flatworms.

While not really common it can happen. It is due to the water becoming super saturated with gases. It doesn't happen as often if tanks are left open and have lots of surface agitation to help promote gas exchange, but in a covered tank it can happen. You really can't compare a natural reef to...

Yes that is a flatworm. Fish don't normally carry them around. They usually come in as hitchhikers on LR and corals. It is possible that it came from the water the fish was in from the LFS.

More like frags in the aiptasia tanks from what I've seen lately. Definitely don't try to deal with John as there is no dealing with him. It's his way or not at all. I've been thrown out a few times for talking folks out of sales he was trying to make on fish.

When did they start breeding tangs in captivity?

Nice looking tank. If you use the tags with the [IMG] and the [/IMG ] around them it will put the pictures directly in the post.

Welcome to the club. Just copy the image tag from photobucket and paste it into your post here.

Fresh water will kill off the bacteria living in your sand bed which could result in the tank cycling again as you have lost a big part of your bio-filter.

I use a 30 pony and it is plenty. They've had their schedule up since last week. I was taking to Chris, the mate on the Dina Dee, yesterday at the flea market. They are all waiting to get back in the water again. Boat gets it's Coast Guard inspection in March and will be ready to go after...
