    72g Move

    Vibration leading to stress fracture? Maybe mount the skimmer and return pump on egg crate? I've always used Petco buck a gallons to build sumps from 20g to 55g and never had a problem.

    Question on water parameters

If coral in main tanks is acting strange, I do a slightly larger than normal water change (say 40% as opposed to the...

    Max's Shallow Reef: An epic adventure of corals, fine beer, nonsense, and general insanity.

    NO NO NO! KILL THE FLOORMAT! I used the same type floormat under my 60g shallow as I had/have a wood floor and figured it would help protect it. It acts as a wick for every drop of water lost during a water change, it absorbs every splash. And it dissipates the water throughout itself After a...

    Photo Of The Month poll

    BAH! All good, and a few I'd like to vote on. But... I've been procrastinating. Now I'm ready. Just gimme a few... Edit... At 5:43PM we had 6 hours, 58 mins. It's 9:06PM and the poll has been closed for 56 minutes. Think my computer time isn't jibing with the server.

    Mysterious Deaths

    My 2c... Ammonia. Clowns are sensitive to it. I added a clown to a tank many moons ago. Blenny fine, anthias fine, corals fine, clown on sandbed died in 24 hours. I'd check it asap.

    'Drink Dispenser Pico' challenge?

    DISASTER ALGAE!

    8 year old thread ;) Regardless... I use a snail mix. Some use hermits. Hermits will ALWAYS kill snails, so best one or the other. I use Nassarius for the sand bed, cerith and micro ceriths for the rocks, margaritas for the glass, and astrias for everything in between, with a few bumblebees...

    Steam Punk Lamp

    Have you made a steampunk QT tank to isolate the new Porcupine fish? He's liable to give the others stray electrons.
