Agree with mike….low nitrates. The other contributing factor could be lights. T5’s on a sump…do you have corals in your sump? What bulbs are you running. Generally speaking, the lower the temperature (k value) the more usable light for algae. If you want that stuff to grow (and want to stick...

Not to mention fitting it through the front door. The weight…..It’s in the write-up….13,200 pounds when full. I’m sure that exceeds the load capacity of a stick built house. That would need its’ own footings and foundation.

Ah come on. Just bring it home on the plane with you. If they ask, just say it is a sushi-like snack that you’ll be eating on the plane. Crunchy! ;D

Chump change. I believe there is a bigger WOW! to have it moved and installed.

Welcome Larissa, as I mentioned to beerfish, lets get a “Tale of the Tank” thread going for that 75…and we want to see pictures. It’s great to see the progress from a rock pile to corals and fish.

How about Oreos?

Here's a good place to begin trying to find the name: http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=15

Wow! That’s pretty neat. Not sure about the diet of this little guy, but from my diving days in Florida I can tell you that the “common” octopus down there love shellfish. You knew there was a home of an octopus because of all the conch shells scattered around a hole. Accordingly, I’d be a...

I live next door in Sayreville. Does that count?

My next guess, clove polyps.

My guess are the arms of a brittle star.

My thoughts on keeping the clams out: · They come from temperate waters while our tanks are tropical. · Could be introducing foreigner creatures / bacteria / disease into the tank. · They are filter feeders and the way we micron sock and super skim and filter our water, not the mention all the...

Here’s the Schedule 40 and 80 bulkhead sizes versus hole size: HOLE SIZE BULKHEAD Schedule 40 Schedule 80 1/2 1 1/8 1 3/8 3/4 1 1/2 1 5/8 1 1 3/4 1 7/8 1 1/2 2 3/8 2 5/8 2 3 3 1/4 In my opinion...

That's my guess as well..overall height being eight feet. So I'd guess the tank is about 5 1/2 feet high. Come on...we need a club member who has a cathederal ceiling to buy this puppy. I’ll help you move it!

It appears to be the felineophilia…a very nasty hitchhiker that is found in both fresh and saltwater systems. They are, for the most part, reef safe in part because of their distaste for wet feet. However, there appetite for fish is legendary. In fact they have been known to play with their...

I’m the optimist. What I see is a diamond in the rough. For all you neigh sayers I say, to quote Edith Ann, “pffffffffffffffffffffffft.” (A big unvoiced linguolabial trill to you…i.e. a rasberry.)

I agree with paintman about utilizing the hidden fastening system. It gives you a very nice clean look. I also liked his “5 ¼” reference….lol. It is actually said as five quarter and written 5/4. What this means is the thickness of the “wood” before finish surfacing…that is, originally 1 ¼...

Gogol, to me it sounds like you have a cyanobacteria problem…not hair algae. Check Alk and pH, increase flow, make sure skimmer is working fine, do water changes and watch your feeding. It most likely is a nutrient problem. I think the only think that might touch cyano are turbo’s….and that’s a...
