Darn you Sunny! I just pulled down that piece-o-crap tank I have and purchased a 70” flat screen TV where I’ve looped your video and run it non-stop. :grin: I just can’t find the words that fairly describe your tank!

Where are the pictures???

Mike, my guess is bulbs, and if you were closer, I’d have the bulbs to check it out. Find someone in your neck of the woods that has some extra bulbs hanging around to check out the situation.

Sunny, worst case of ich I’ve ever seen: :o :grin: :grin: :grin: ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I’m in awe.

I apologize, I’m just gloating a bit on how well this DIY turned out. Just finished the second base unit and put it in place. I’m very happy with the cleaner look, the way both containers fit the small side area of the stand (like it was originally planned), and that now I am that much closer...

Are you saying a yellow along with a tomini? .......in a 55? Tang police Tang police Tang police Tang police Tang police Do you realize tangs are poop machines? I also think the two having similar body shapes, this is a crap-shoot with the two together in tight quarters...

Welcome! Start a "Tale of the Tank" and tell us about your setup.

Ed, sorry for the loss. It’s amazing how we become attached to our fish. Like others, hopefully the wrasse is just playing the hiding game. I never thought puffers were the jumping type. I would expect the wrasse, but not the puffer. Might want to look into something to keep potential...

I see mnat replied while I was typing....but here is what I say: Do not take the rock out. You want your rock sitting directly on the bottom glass. Here’s how you do it: Get a PVC pipe that is slightly longer than the depth of your tank. I like using 1 ½” pipe, but dependent on the...

Yes you do! Can you come over and put this in for me? :grin: :grin: Here's the crazy thing. Premium Aquatics was the first one I searched...putting in "Koralia K1 impeller," and NOTHING came up! Again John, thanks. Now, when is our Premium Aquatics Group Buy? Hopefully I...

John, thanks for that link….I couldn’t even find that. Unfortunately the shaft and impeller were pitched…and it looks like you don’t get the shaft with a new impeller. Looks like I’m buying a whole new powerhead. Crap!

Here is the fix….but it’s hard to see because it’s clear: It’s a half inch piece of acrylic that fits snug up to the edge of the insert of the top:

I like your thinking. :grin: Man’s Mantra #137: If it can’t be fixed with a hammer or duct tape, it can’t be fixed. :o It will be a bit more substantial than duct tape.

Design Flaw in ATO Reservoir My freshwater ATO reservoir is a DIY five gallon bucket with a five gallon water jug that sits on the top of the bucket. This gives me a total of ten gallons, but maintains the siphon point at the level of the five gallon bucket……below the level of my sump. It...

Just saw this on the noon news: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/12/video-shows-giant-chinese-shark-tank-exploding/ If the ABC video above doesn't work, try this one: http://www.itn.co.uk/World/64755/shark-filled-aquarium-explodes-in-chinese-shopping-centre

Am I just not looking in the right place? I can’t seem to find a replacement impeller for an older Koralia K1 powerhead. Anyone know where I could find one?

George, your poop box looks great! I was actually kicking around the same idea of a rectangular box that fit into the end part of the stand between the two legs. I probably spent the last year or so mulling over how to do this. I actually have all the acrylic, but was still thinking about...

Stray voltage.....check it with a VOM/Multimeter.

Steve, sorry to see this. This hobby is so cruel.

I replaced my original DIY skimmate control system (a fruit juice jug in a cut-down salt bucket that contained a float switch) with a new slimmer DIY container version. Here is the original old fruit juice jug: And here is the new one, which fits perfectly on the small section of the...
