If you have a little pipe on either side of the valves, than you can cut out the valve and use a coupling to save (re-use) that valve. Brandon, do one piece at a time. Measure cut and glue one piece, and now measure for the next piece, etc. This way everything should fit.

The shrimp should be just fine. I have a large coral banded and it will go into a defensive posture (big claws outstretched) if a fish swims into his area. However, I’ve also seen him acting like a cleaner shrimp and come up to a fish and, using his smaller pincers, clean that fish.

Yes! You want to bring it up slowly.

If you plan on using this stuff frequently, you might wish to bake the baking soda first. See recipe #1 HERE. Once made, you can use any number of the calculators that tell you how much to add to raise the alk level. Note that chemically, it is a balance between alk and calc.

If you truly lived in South Jersey, you probably don't know six girls, but if you did, your avatar would spell E G U L L S ! :grin::grin::grin: Now, after seeing the Philadelphia Flyer fans beating the crap out of that cop, hopefully you Eagle fans don't know where I live! :o

I believe Herbie is running six AI Sol’s on his tank…..slightly different fixture by about $270 each. Feng (Red Sand) exclusively runs these fixtures over all his tanks.

How much more can these things go down? The cost of one of these is now at the cost of my yearly bulb change for my six T5 bulbs! Ebay Chinese Fixture

Oops! :embarassed:

Jim, just curious, why do you ask? I thought limpets were reef safe (maybe with the exception of coraline algae).

MOD NOTIFICATION; I just realized this Tale of the Tank stuff is in a For Sale post. Mods might want to clip these posts off and put them into Brandon's Tale. If you do that, you can make this post go away. Thanks.

Sandee, absolutely beautiful fish…..but known for their picky appetite. I was considering picking up a filefish for my aiptasia problem, but decided against it after reading up on them, and seeing that once the aiptasia is gone, so is the fish….to starvation. Try some of Phil’s...

Brandon, you’ve got my curiosity! That looks like the back of the tank (and upper frame) was cut out (notched out) and a small glass compartment siliconed to the back of the tank. What’s up with that? How does it work? What’s that small compartment used for? I’ve never seen something like...

Looking good Brandon! I like all those unions….there is no such thing as too many unions! Now what gauge shot did you use in the shotgun to make those holes in the stand? :grin: It appears that you have two return pipes coming up from the sump. Are you running two return pumps? If...

:worthless

I’ve done work with a mechanical contractor (a degreed “plumber”), and he would pressurize newly assembled lines within minutes of the last glue-up. This would especially be true within our low-pressure systems with our tanks. You should be good to go minutes after gluing up that last pipe...

Wow! You’re published!! So I guess you can retire now and live off the residuals. Congratulations! Can’t wait to see what it’s all about.

Or if you're lazy, like me, just go to the ReefCentral Tank Calculator. Yep.....56.7!

If this is just for your tank, how about a ziploc plastic bag with all the air sucked out of it?

That's one lucky man! :grin::grin::grin::o:grin::grin::grin:
