Yes. The basic use for carbon is to clarify some impurities in your water. It helps remove some tiny particles you typically see floating in the water column. It usually makes the water seem more "clear" when using it... especially with a reactor. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Sounds like a great plan so far Mike. When you actually start setting it up, you should start a "Tale of The Tank" thread in that forum. Or, if you like I can move this entire thread there and this can be your start of it. Let me know. As to the LED's, there are new mfr's coming onto the market...

That he does. :encouragement: Gonna close this one up since it's already gone.

Not getting any issues like this at all. Can you give us some more details? 1. Are you browsing on a phone, PC, or laptop? 2. What browser are you using? 3. What operating system are you running (if a PC or laptop). 4. Can you take a screen shot of the problem and post it here so we can see...

Very nice Ed. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Rockscape looks great. Can't wait to see it filled with corals and fish!

Looks really great Sunny!

Nice additions, great colors!

After multiple, multiple attempts, I fixed the link, lol. For some reason it wouldn't let me show the link as "Here" like Don had it. It's not as pretty but it's working correctly now. Thanks for pointing it out Matt.

I don't know much about the foam but the reason you NEVER shim a tank is because the weight will put too much stress on the shim area. Tanks are made to spread the weight out evenly across all 4 sides. Shimming it would shift most of the weight to that spot and eventually cause the vertical...

Yea, the pipe that's open inside the tank... that should only be about 1/4" below your normal water level. It should be even or above with the plastic trim around the top of your tank so it doesn't drop below the trim. If you build it correctly and have the properly rated return pump... the...

Hard to tell from those pics (kinda blurry) but it looks like it may just be eating something. When they catch something the tentacles will curl in and it wraps itself up towards the mouth to bring the food to the mouth. Only the tentacles that touch the food would curl up and appear to...

That's awesome Ed! From hearing about this a bit on our way to the last meeting at Karl's... I was really moved by what they've done for you and what you and your wife plan to do to give back. Good luck with the speech and hope you have a good time doing it. PS, I agree with Matt... must see...

Nice pond. Love the train that goes around it. Gives it a sense of realism. ;)

Ugh, say it ain't so James! Hate to see another local guy get out. :cry: If you do end up parting out, I might be interested in the MP40. Is it a wireless and/or ES model by any chance? *EDIT* guess I was a minute too slow for the MP40, lol.

Sorry, forgot about checking back on this thread. Looks like everything is ok now. I agree that it was likely just a spawning event (probably snails).

Wow, very risky, but well worth it! Thanks for sharing Darren.

Chips like that usually don't cause a problem. It's more of an eye sore than a real leak issue... unless it goes into the silicone sealant. Still, if you bought the tank new I'd suggest asking them to replace it. No reason to accept a faulty product. If you bought it used then I guess that's...

OK John. If you need it let me know. I just measured them both. One is 1/4" the other is 5/16"... each one is around 5 ft. long.

Do you absolutely need threaded rod? I have some plain clear acrylic rod that you could have. I think I have some in 1/4" and 1/8"... both at least 3' to 4' long each. I can double check tonight for you if you want. When you were asking about threaded rod, I thought you were looking to...
