Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Yes, turn off the pump to Calc only. Let Alk "catch up." Let's see, you have a 40B with a heavy load of sticks, so I'd test again in two days and see where you're at. Adjust pump appropriately at that point.
Ed, the Liveaquaria link to that fish had a linkable part that explained whether it was "reef compatable," and here is what that said: NO
And here is their definition:
Reef Compatible:
Designates whether a species will cause harm to any coral, clam, crustacean
or other sessile...
Loving that DIY overflow….nicely done! Is it truly quiet like they claim?
Wow! You got that up and running quick. Is that a big leather on the right third of the tank? Any cycle involved and/or did you use some denitrifying magic juice?
Danger Will Robinson (I know, I’m dating myself)
Dry rock is not safe to simply add to the tank…..it will cycle. There is dead stuff in that rock which will cause a cycle. Now, if you were adding a piece or two, that might be fine, but more than that, you’re playing Russian...
Yes, and Expo Center.
Go HERE to order and pay for your tickets and they will be waiting for you at the Expo Center....quicker entry without having to wait in line.
If a ¾ piece of plywood and a piece of foam is going to mean fitting this beast through the door, that plywood is coming off, come he!! or high water! A sharp chisel at the glue joint is either going to sheer the glue or split the wood. Once the top is off, and if you now have bits and...
I certainly don’t mean to be the tang police, but this is just wrong. Tangs are crap machines and three in a thirty isn’t right…..and I’m just talking crap…..forget about them wanting room to swim. That’s my two cents.
Jim, looking real good. FYI, that center brace is not necessary. This stand is extremely overbuilt. You'll be fine if you wish to remove that center brace.
Welcome Justin. Start a “Tale of the Tank,” and show us what you have. I see you’re in Fords, not too far from me, and almost in walking distance to the swap. You’ll have a blast at the swap…..see you there.
Is that a yellow tang I see doing a sideways swim in the bucket......in a 75.......Tang police Tang police Tang police Tang police Tang police
So when do you plan on upgrading?
Dirty, looking great. I’m not familiar with “pink” Teflon tape, but it just doesn’t sound like it should be “heavy duty.” :grin:
Now I’m not familiar with this overflow, but assume the two “down” elbows are the normal overflows, while the one “up” elbow is the emergency overflow if the...
When you say detectable, at what level are you detecting it? Even if you had once used the 57 with copper, once the tank was cleaned, all the copper would have been “washed” away. Copper doesn’t stick to glass or silicone. However, if rock was exposed to copper, it’s done unless you wish...
The general rule for rough openings is minimum 2 inches more than the door opening; and no more than three inches.....so you should be at 34 to 35 inches for that 32 inch door.
Interior or exterior door? And how close is the stand from fitting through the door. If it’s close, and especially if it’s an interior door, I wouldn't hesitate carefully pulling the molding and cutting out the door frame (with door still attached). You cut the nails using a...
I can’t help you with your wife or kids…….but……….
I organized my wires by putting in big conduit clamps and running the wires through these. I can’t remember the actual size, but I’m thinking 1 ¼ to 1 ½ clamps…to fit the plug ends. You’ll find these plastic clamps in the electrical...
