Is it just the angle of the photo…..I don’t see an overflow in the tank. How is the water getting down to the sump?

Your tank is full….. And your wallet is empty.

Thanks for hosting the meeting this month. What a great day to have this gathering outside in your magnificent back yard. More food than you can believe. You folks who weren’t there missed a good one…..I think 20 raffle items! Thanks again Bob (and wife and kid).

I'm assuming I'd find this baster in the "Beyond" department. :grin:

To clarify, the odor is actually on the outside of the rubber bulb. Bob, where do you find silicone rubber bulbed turkey basters?

My favorite paint is Kilz Complete....It stinks to high heaven, but sticks like grim death. It's oil based and dries very fast. It's a primer, but you could just go with this as the finish coat as well or cover it with a good exterior latex. Oh, and it's white in color.

All good stuff Xavier. That article for Dr. Holmes Farley says it all. It’s just for us folks that came from the freshwater side, where nitrites are problematic, thinking that it is the same case with saltwater. I originally thought the same when I first started saltwater. As you know...

Looking great Kevin! Paint the inside of that puppy white and you are ready to go.....even if it's just primer paint.

David, you are always welcome to come over and smell by turkey baster and my feet and decide on your own. :grin:

Congratulations Clownchick.....ready for fish and corals. WooHoo! I know I'll get beat up on this, but nitrites are really of no significants with saltwater tanks. The level never gets to a point that impacts living animals in saltwater tanks (with very few exceptions.) What is most...

Here's a thought. I'm seeing a pretty open tank. Do you have places for the tang to hide during the day and wedge itself into a tight spot to sleep at night. My tangs like to hide and swim through caves, and at night they wedge themselves into spots I can't believe.

For the past two months my wife and I have been going nuts trying to identify the source of this musty, moldy smell in the fish room. It seemed to move for the tank area to the ice box, where I store fish tools on the top. I first thought it was a leak that was causing mold to grow. I...

I was wondering what had happened to you. Welcome back Brandon!

I like the rock work! The image with the spotlight on the branching coming from the left and right and meeting in the center reminded me of Michelangelo’s hand of God……I know, I need help!

Sorry for your loss. I always hated it when I lost a fish......:cry:

In general, the fatter the pipe, the less frictional loss, the greater the volume coming out the end. I actually brought the return line up to the top of the tank and Tee'd it off in both directions. Each of these legs has two Loc-Lines on it, for a total of four.

I’m not quite sure??? There are two types of silicones used in aquariums….sealants and adhesives. The caulk you buy at HD, GE Silicone I, is the sealant type of silicone and will remain pliable forever. Adhesive type silicones, the RTV type (RTV means Room Temperature Vulcanizing), could...

Glass-Holes…….WooooHoooo! Now you linked to the 3000/2……a 1500 gph overflow, where two would be needed to get 3000 gph. I think two of these within a four foot tank is overkill. Dependant on the return pump you are using, and especially if you are only planning on one 3000/2, I’d look at...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "quick disconnect." I thinking you actually mean a union. If that is the case, and space is limited, put in a True Union Valve....it is the union and valve in one. Oh, and by the way, I agree with Kevin....no problem with all three close together.

Tangs need algae daily. Go to your local oriental market and buy nori used to make sushi....in the store I go to (in East Brunswick), it's in the Japanese isle. Feed at least a half sheet per day. That will fatten him up.
