Here's a link for a foam / rock wall DIY: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181218

What we did for a 40 breeder sump was first determine what was going in each section and than make those sections big enough to fit that stuff. The first section was 6 ½ inches to fit an ASM skimmer. The refugium was 17 inches wide. And the return section was only 6 inches wide….Enough room to...

Being 100% of Irish descent, it’s great to see one of our people in the White House again.  Not since Jack have we had the Irish connection.  And now I’ll guess we’ll have to change the Irish drinking toast, “God invented whiskey so the Irish wouldn't rule the world”....I'll drink to that!  ;D

Congratulations on your catch of fish! I still can’t believe you had two sixlines in a 75g….and both are still alive. That’s the “success” story, in my eyes. Wow! Now the big question…where are they now?

According to RC’s above build instructions, a six foot tank requires 2 x 6 upper braces while all other framing members are 2 x 4. Here’s Onefish’s “Tale of the Tank” thread were he built the RC frame for a five foot tank...

For freshwater tanks with high light levels you must us CO2. As mentioned, you don’t need to go with expensive tanks and gauges. You can build a simple DIY bubbler using yeast.

Consider bamboo…it’s a green building choice and is solid wood through and through. Most other floors today are laminates and don’t hold up well to water and wear. They actually make a bamboo that looks like other typically woods. Check it out, you wouldn’t be disappointed….and mikem is your man!

I will let others respond who have a better eye than me, but that looks like an aiptasia anemone to me.

Here’s two reference articles on “pods,” amphipods and copepods: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-09/rs/index.php http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-10/rs/index.php

The older pressure treated wood contained CCA (chromated copper arsenate), which has been replaced by, most commonly, ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary). The concern with CCA was the arsenate, which could transfer to the hands and, as Mike pointed out, is a poison. There still is a concern of skin...

Obviously a clog somewhere of that snowy precipitate that formed. Not familiar with this skimmer, but one note of caution - If it has rubber parts, dipping or running the entire skimmer in vinegar will cause the rubber to break down. If you can take it apart, soak individual parts in vinegar...

Sure makes water changes and dead fish issues easy to take care of.

I don’t mean to hi-jack, but as a newbie, could you explain why 460 and not 420? I’d like to know. Thanks

I didn't know you were an attorney. I might need your help.  I have my foot caught in my toilet, and there was no label stating I couldn't put my foot in there to unclog the bugger.  Do I have a case? ;D Or am I in deep....?

I originally had the same problem...just clicked into the Barton site and I'm no longer getting that virus warning. Looks like you got it. ;D

We took advantage of the warm weather yesterday and popped two holes in the glass.  Good news, the glass wasn’t tempered.  Not having polarized film, onefish commented that if this tank shatters, will just buy a new 75.  With drill in hand, we popped two holes into the back of the tank.  I guess...

Sure sounds like something funky with the water. Is she using a hydrometer or refractometer for measuring salinity? Either way, I would see if you could borrow another refractormeter to see if your salinity is in line. What volume of water is she changing? Does she also heat up her water to...
