*** Note, I posted this under someone else's thread on a similar topic, but am adding it as a new thread to keep it separate.*** Scroll down to the blue text if you want to skip the details. Well, I bought a JBJ ATO and attempted to set it up to prevent my skimmate collection container from...

Hi all. I'm finally getting an Auto Top Off because adding water every day is getting old. I'm picking up a Tunze Osmolator package tonight. That takes care of all the float switches, controls, and the pump. Now all I need is to find an adequate container to hold my water. Here is a pic of my...

Not sure if this is an actual "Emergency" because I have no idea what this thing is. But didn't really know where else to ask for an ID for this... It looks like a bunch of gray arms growing out of my rock, and the "hands" appear to be latching onto the rock. One arm is sort of floating, but...

Kind of an odd question, but I was just wondering if anyone knew the answer. I have two fish that are missing some fins. One is a percula clown. I bought it as a "baby" and didn't even notice that the two bottom (pelvic) fins were missing completely when I bought it. :-[ There are no scars or...

After a few incidents where my wastewater collecting trash can overflowed in my garage when making Ro/Di for my tank, I decided to come up with a way to eliminate this problem. My first thought was to install a float switch that would just turn off the flow at a certain level in my trash can...

I bought a yellow watchman goby about a week ago and placed him in my QT tank. The tank is a 10 gallon bare bottom with a couple pieces of PVC pipe and a few small pieces of uncured rock. I have an aquaclear 500 powerfilter running with no media (I basically use it just for circulation). The...

Anyone know a local place to buy Weld-On (for bonding acrylics) in South Jersey? I'm making a custom acrylic container to collect the skimmate that drains out of my skimmer collection cup. I don't have much room under my stand to put a 2L soda bottle like most do... I only have a 3.5" width...

A while ago I had an AGA 135g tank that I was drilling holes in the side. Well, after drilling the holes but before I could get the tank in the house to set it up, I cracked the bottom glass panel while moving it on the concrete garage floor. I recently just setup my 75g tank and needed to make...

Hi all, I'm new to reefing and have recently set up a 75g reef ready tank. I won't bore you with all the details but if you want them you can check out my Tale of the Tank thread where I have quite the novel going. Here is a basic list of my current equipment: 75g corner overflow 30g sump...

I'm looking into purchasing an ATO and think I've found the unit I will get. Here is the Reef Fanatic kit. I'll get something like this pump to feed the sump and keep it level. Since I have about 10 gallons or so of room to spare in my sump if my return pump fails, I'd think a 3-5 gallon ATO...

Well, months after a heartbreaking experience with a 135g tank cracking on me while making it reef-ready in the garage... I finally got into the hobby. I went into the details of my new setup in my first post here but since this will be my official build thread I will copy/paste it here and...
