When you first start biopellets, you will want to take GFO off line (and maybe never use it again.) For biopellets to work you need both nitrates and phosphates. If you strip out the phosphates with GFO, biopellets won't work. Those who run both have excessive phosphate. The ratio of...

I use to have a long one, and my complaint was that the hole at the end was very small. I don't know if they are all that way, but the one I had was. I probably still have it somewhere here amongst the mess.

Haven't done this is awhile....full tank shot. I wish I had a decent camera or knew what I was doing. Here is what I got with my little point-n-shoot camera:

Well nothing can be easy. The ring decided to float away. So instead of using a rubber suction cup, I made a cleat out of some scrap acrylic. I'm using an exterior green epoxy coated screw for the first time. Lets see how long it takes before it starts to bleed rust.

Now that's down right dirty! I just read the "MORE" link:

I saw this over on R2R and thought I'd post it here. BRS is selling a "flat packed" 70 gallon cube for $36. So who is going to be the first to buy this a check it out. Might make a nice frag tank.

Ryan, I'm interested in the 24x3W Eshine white blue 1 channel dimmable - 30$. Let me know what works for you as far as pick-up. Thanks, Paul

A great addition to your CUC. HERE's the read on them.

Looks great Matt! Nice job. I'm also willing to bet you passed out somewhere in the house after doing all that in one day. :grin:

So with all this new flake food I have, I thought I'd go back to setting up the autofeeder. The one issue with floating flakes is that too much go down the overflow before it could be eaten. I was aware that Petco had feeding rings on their website, so I stopped into the store. No rings...

Looking great....love all the pictures. Keep them coming.

Hey guys, I wasn't looking for an arguement....I'm looking for the documentation....maybe a Randy Holmes Farley thing that states this stuff is bad. I just don't want the anecdotal evidence to poo-poo the use of white egg crate. Algae might be growing more on white because white reflects...

Here is what mnat is suggesting.....your rock is dead....it needs to be cured/recycled. Set up your rock work in the tank the way you want it, fill it with water and mix your salt in with the water in the tank. Adjust to final SG, put in a heater and a little circulation and then sit back...

+1 Great advice.

What the hoot is this nonsense about. Egg crate is made of polystyrene......this is the stuff that can't be recycled because it doesn't break down. I've had white egg crate in my tank since 2008. Could someone give me a reference if this stuff is a problem in our tanks. I've never heard...

John, I definitely agree with your assessment....especially if you are in a area that rarely sees power outages. I have a slightly larger generator from Sam's for $300, and it is the best 300 I've ever spent. It paid for itself in just the food in the refrigerator/freezer. This little...

This is excellent advice that needs to be heeded!!! Good stuff Darren.

Wait Matt, I thought the title said the WHOLE porch....so I thought I saw your car at HD collecting supplies:

I put an RBTA in the tank in 2007/2008. It went into the tank in the left rear corner. It immediately moved completely across the tank to the right rear corner. Hasn't moved since.

What Goes Around Comes Around Back on page one of this Tale (about 3/4 of the way down), I diagrammed the bubble trap I made that was used as water entered my refugium. I termed it the Rube Goldberg bubble trap: It worked, but it was bulky. So I mulled over some ideas and came up...
