You can also use Thorite cement. I know Marco Rock sells it in smaller quanities...and I've got to believe one pail would be enough for your tank. EDIT TO ADD: If you wish to look for it locally, you're looking for Emaco R400 or MasterEmaco N427.

Jim, thanks for the heads up. If I was ready for my big BRS order, and hooked up in a group buy, I would have ordered from BRS. However, I did place my order for 29.99 with free shipping through Amazon, but coming from Seacorals. So I can't complain about that. Thanks again.

I would also suggest that you post on other sites....such as Reef2reef. Not sure if you'd get the statistical number from the folks here. Best of luck.

I feel compelled to respond since I have advanced degrees of both biology and chemistry. I will preface this by saying that I'd still be interested in seeing your results. If this is simply a course in statistics, I think it's a great thing to do. However, when you ask individuals for...

I'm certainly no expert, and it depends on the size of the eel, but I would surmise that the Pseudochromis would eventually become a nice little meal for the eel.

Skimmate Change - Biopellet Effect??? Pre biopellets my skimmate is what I would call normal. The bubbles would form and climb over the top edge of the collection cup and then collapse into a liquid. I had to dig to find a photo, but here's an old one prior to installing a collection...

Welcome back into the game Praveen. Always like watching new builds come together. Keep the pictures coming.

Welcome Mark. I would suggest you start a "Tale of the Tank" thread. It would allow all of use to see your progress and an opportunity to get any questions answered about the build.

Sorry about that. I'm wondering, because the glass is so thin on a 10G, if you use, as example, a piece of plexiglass to act as a washer, if that would help. The idea is that this "washer" would help distribute the pressure from the tightening of the nut and reduce the likelihood of the...

Well this latest lame brain idea of mine didn't work! Here's the quasi reverse durso (without the end cap): And here it is not stopping the bubbling: I'm guessing that 90 degree turn in the original reverse durso was instrumental in allowing the air to escape. Oh well! Back to...

BLoodman, welcome back into the game. Your choice of powerheads depends on the type of consumer you are. Let me use a phone analogy: If you stood in line to purchase the lastest I-Phone (in my opinion, blithering idiots....but that's just me), than the Gyre is most definitely for you...

Tony, when I commented, there was only one picture posted. This one: I posted my comments from this one photo. There have been a whole bunch of photos added, and I can see you will be just fine.....and I agree, a Mack truck can be parked on top of that thing.

Or is it the same thing with a black controller? QuietDrive Vortech pump to be formally announced next week I'm going to have to see it to believe it. It looks too much like what is out there now. They really needed to change the appearance, in my opinion.

Well that didn't last long! I couldn't fit the sock on with this durso drain. So what I did was move this over to the right drain and I was now getting small micro bubbles coming out. I can only guess that the flow coming out of the right is slightly higher than the left. So I went...

Tony, always like seeing new builds come together. One note on your stand.....right now you have the screws supporting the weight of the tank. You need to add a couple more 2 x 4's to the stand to support the weight. Let me show you with a picture: Your current stand has the green...

Brandon, always saddened when I see these kinds of posts. Sorry for your loss.

Rube Goldberg Bubble Trap Number Four If you’ve been around long enough, you’ve seen the Rube Goldberg’s I’ve made to stop micro bubbles / salt creep in my sump. They all had some positives, with the last version not too bad, but I still though there was room for improvement. Well I’m now...

Yep....that's the wrong stuff. You want 53 mS calibration fluid.

Why do you think you purchased the wrong calibration fluid? Does is say it's 53 mS fluid?

It would also be worthwhile to note the brand of two part you are using since they are all different concentrations. I have a 90 gallon DT mixed reef and use Randy's DIY two part (same as BRS two part). I dose 43 mls ALK and 54 mls CALC. I use IO salt (it's the ocean) and am a low baller...
