I noticed this also when I used R.C. I switched to seachem reef and don't see it anymore however I'm thinking of switching to tropic marin pro-reef my mag. levels are way low with this salt and had to dose way too much to get it back up.

plus bulbs. another $80. but not bad.

first a pre stain wood conditioner should be used. this will eliminate any blotches in the wood. the softer the wood the more this will occur. I would recommend ZAR stains. you can work them in until you get the look you want. ZAR also makes aquarzar clear finishes in different sheens I use the...

that does look like a better light.trying to save money but if I ever decided I want corals and get bored with just fish I'll end up spending more money. the tank is 48" and with the canopy perhaps I should go with retro but then its even more. :-\

I bought the tank used with the glass corner already installed. no I've never used this type before. the blue plastic (2) pieces are to cover the glass but not convinced I'm using them yet. eggcrate? I just have to clean out the tank I'll be putting on a canopy

I'd say chances are pretty good you may break a finger off with a concrete drill bit I'd go with a sharp smaller thread drill and go slow

thanks Tom for all your help. I put it in a corner under a rock with just a little light but I think it may be too late it is a micro one (red) or it was. makes me wonder about the chalace pieces you know what I mean

alk is stable now. when I 1st started up tank and for about a year it was around 6 its been at 8 steady for over 8 months. lighting I have --150 halides and 4 96 watt actinics. I keep the acans and chalace on the sand bed. high flow? not compaired to the rest of the tank but there is flow. water...

according to manufacturers reading on seachem reef salt is actually higher mag levels than tropic Marin pro perhaps I should stop mixing the reef crystals and start using it straight. do you really think raising mag level will keep them from dying? going to do a water change to see if it raises...

receding. one is dead and turning white on sand bed the other one is almost gone

wanted to start up a FO tank. going slow due to economy so far I built the sump 20 gal.L 4 baffles.I'm thinking of putting a canopy on this one and saw all the dyi's and decided to go this route. equipment to purchase: mini G for skimmer. pentair 3000 for return. cpr.sump inlet holder assembly...

I'm using ato unit so it won't matter anyways. thanks all for the replys. perhaps I'll do a tale of the tank on this set up. the first tank I set up before I knew about njrc.

thanks. so I guess I'll make the fuge a little larger and maybe the skimmer section.

I'm am hanging it in 1st section. but I heard the last section is where the most evaporation takes place is that not true? thats why I was making it larger
