    Dry pH Probe

    Here's another. This one says 48 hours, but the other said maybe a week. Hopefully it will come around

    Fish tail/fins

    I would only worry about it getting stress induce ich if it was a tang. They seem to fare worse there than most other fish.

    Dry pH Probe

    I'd try reaching out to the manufacturer. I think in most cases it isn't worth the cost/effort, but it would be interesting to find out from the horses mouth.

    Chip in glass!!!!

    And back away far enough for the subject to be in sharp focus. Trying to get to close without a macro lens will not achieve good results. You can always crop a sharp image down. You can't fix blur!

    substrate question

    Our maroon clownfish loves to wag in the sand. She had the tank a perpetual sand storm until we siphoned the bulk of the sand out of that area of the tank. She's left it alone since we reduced the sand there, thankfully. We thought we'd have to take it all out to get the storms to stop, so I...

    Happy Fathers Day Boys!

    Congrats Taz! Enjoy the new digs and your kids as well! Erna, that's amazing! Great to see that some still keep in touch. We had a foster child live with us when we were growing up. Just one though... not a hundred! Happy (belated) father's day, guys!

    Chip in glass!!!!

    Francis had picked up a 175g tank that had a similar chip in it. The chip went further through the glass, I think even. It held up for him the whole time he had it setup. IF I was going to use the tank I would be inclined to be sure it was quite level before filling it as I believe that any...

    ph to low

    Recalibrate the probe and then if you don't get a more normal reading then take the water outside for 15m or so, swish it around and then test it again. Double check it with a test kit. At 6.5 you'd have corals disintegrting, so I doubt that it is really that low. If you can verify 6.5 then...

    Lighting Recommendation for a 140G Oceanic

    Sam has a solaris and is selling off his tanks. If he's parting with it that might be an answer (though there's a good chance it is only 3'). The one thing that I don't like about the solaris is that you can see the columns of light (because it seems to drop straight down and there are banks of...

    Mynd's Aquapod - 01.07.07

    Looks fantastic! Keep up the good work. Interesting concept of using one brand of products. Seems like it would be a very well integrated approach. Seems to be working well, if one could judge by the looks!

    fish transfer from QT to display tank

    Sounds like a good plan, Olivier. You can do daily water changes out of your tank and into the QT, topping off with Salt water rather than fresh (and maybe adding/mixing in a pinch of salt into the tank water you use for the changes). This should have your parameters fairly close at the end of...
