    Param help

    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.

    Snowflake Eel, Bursa Trigger, and Scopas Tang free to good home!

    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...

    What might this be?

    That photo is useless! Could it be a feather duster (safe) or an anemone (Corynactis…..with caution)??? Need a better photo.

    55 to 75 upgrade

    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?

    Arce's Reef

    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...

    Suction Cups?

    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...

    75 Rimless! Mixed Reef, starting from the bottom!

    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.

    the adventures of the db 80

    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 To NJRC! Take a minute to introduce yourself

    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.

    55 to 75 upgrade

    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...

    Copper??!?!!?

    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...

    Suction Cups?

    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.

    Suction Cups?

    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...

    "If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

    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...
