    Mod For skimmer

    Which mesh are you using? There are two types. This link show both http://www.randystacye.com/diythreadwheel.htm. Premium Aquatics also has the one with the flat bottom http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=GFI. I think this one might hold better. Don't...

    Ricwilli's 215 build

    Well, I'm happy to say that there are no leaks as of yet. If there was still a leak, adesimone1 (Anthony) suggested that I go to home depot and buy some fiberglass tape for water leaks. He says that it works on all kinds of pipeing and that it is good for pressure pipes too. This will be my fix...

    What type of pump is it? How was the mesh being held to the propeller?

    I don't think the tape is going to do it. I stopped the pump last night, let the manifold drain, blew some forced air were the leak is and put more glue. I will test it today as soon as I get of work today. Good catch. I was having this issue when I had a 20 gallon with four bulb fixture right...

    what's better T5 or Power Compact for a 30 gallon?

    You can also keep anything with T5's in that tank. I would go with T5's in case you want to add more corals in the future.

    Hammer Sweepers

    Just be careful not to have it to close to other corals that they can sting. I learn something new everyday in this hobby.

    Here is the tank in its place. I would like to THANK my father in-law, my wife, and mother for helping me bring the tank in the house. My father in-law and I usually move the tank around, but he wasn't feeling to good that day, so the ladies help him out. I have some strong women living in the...

    Mike you should use the Reef Bio Fuel as well. That will clear your water even better. When people came over my house they always commented on the clarity of the water. Some have even asked if the tank had low iron glass and it does not. I'm counting on this product to help me with my T5's par...

    Re: Ricwilli's 210 build I know, I know.... this build is going to slow. But since I've been working 12 hours days and 6 days a week, I have no time for anything. So here is a little update. The sump is finally complete and the piping all glued. Here is the sump The intake and return from...

    Just bought a 95 gallon corner tank and need help

    Scott - Can you post up some pics? That would help. I spent the last 30 minutes figuring out "attaching files." Unfortunately, my pics are too large in size (limited to 750KB or something close to that on the site). In any case, I will try again tomorrow to post pics. I am sorry about that...

    torch coral as host for clown

    I had two pair of Clowns hosting a Tourch coral at different times and they both needed to be removed from the tank cause the Clowns skin started to get a white mucus on it. Once I took them out and put them in another tank, the mucus was gone. I put them back with the Tourch and the same thing...
