    Vinegar versus Peristaltic Pumps

    I accidentally left a pump in a vinegar bath (about 20% vinegar) for 4-5 days. It was useless, all the rubber was destroyed. Recently left a few odd pieces in a vinegar bath including a pump stand. Everything came out nice with the eception of the rubber suction cup feet, which were warped...

    Mark's IM25 shallow reef

    Art! Dropped a PM. Toad, lol, thanks. Hopefully it wont be a disaster. Seems once you add water, fish, and corals, it all goes downhill.

    Mark's IM10

    Less than 1 month later from previous pic - Xenia growth is coming along nicely, much faster than expected. Zoas will eventually transfer to other tank, as will Darwin clowns. Haven't seen my Pompom crab in a week :(

    Nano upflow scrubber ($10 - $40)

    IMPORTANT (No photo) Ensure you cut or hole punch a few holes in the bottom of the unit to allow adequate amounts of water to get in. Likewise, puch a few holes in the top to allow water to get out. While you're at it, you can punch a few holes in the right side of the unit as well. Here's how...

    Nano upflow scrubber ($10 - $40)

    Now, remember that connector piece I talked about? Were going to find it and create a hole on the side of the container that it snugs into and silicone it in place. IMPORTANT that this is in line with the connector we siliconed in previously. Cheat sheet - I used a piece of the cut tube to...

    Nano upflow scrubber ($10 - $40)

    So, the 25IM is set up and I wanted to run some cheato. To do so I purchased the Fixxex Hang on Fuge (not part of the build, but it is that part that the build is going to fit inside). It seems a pretty solid product and the pump and light are quite adequate for their jobs. Once I got to...
