Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I’ve been following this build over on MonsterFishKeepers for the past six months. The owner lives in NY and sold his Ferrari 430 and Lamborghini Gallardo to fund the build…and fit the setup in his garage. It is 4000 gallons and the tank goes from floor to ceiling. Note, the corals are all...
NO!
Actually, with the stand being four foot, you could have used a 2 x 4 as a top brace. You are overbuilt right now. Looks good!
You might want to put one center stretcher between the two top rails...even thought they are 2x6, you could just use 2x4...unless you are going to add a plywood top.
Hawk, my apologies….I’m colorblind….and I guess just regularly blind as well. When you magnify the little buggers you can now see the segments typical to Chitons. So I’m now in agreement to what you have.
See the segments:
Still don’t know what Jenn has??
Hawk, The two that I’m able to see look like limpets to me. Chitons do not have a continuous shell but overlapping plates…..similar to a sow bug (woodlouse).
And I have no guess what Jenn has???
But Jerzsky, how will you get the water from your 90 down to your 40 sump? Are you planning on an HOB overflow box or will you drill the tank for an internal overflow? That’s the question.
Carbon primarily attracts organic compounds, and once they have found their way into / onto the carbon, they will not be released back into you tank. It just can’t happen. You can think of it as a solubility thing…the organic stuff likes carbon more than water…so that’s where they stay. The only...
Let me first say that the sump / refugium is the only way to go. Now the only question for you is how to get the flow going to the sump.
We have the box type overflow and weve had a few accidents. I believe mikem has the bent tube type overflow, and Im under the impression that they are...
Ole' Rice and beans, of course!
Seriously, the only thing they eat are sponges. Here's a link that will tell you not to buy these...as well as other good info:

First off, don’t pop the bubbles…they could contain spores, which will cause it to spread.
My understanding is that Emeralds are hit or miss. Some eat it up…others could care less.
The best way to rid your tank is to physically pull it out (without bursting the bubble).
So let me see if I follow this spiritual story plot...the Holy worm is like Adam and Eve who has now eaten some of the forbidden “fruit.” So, as the Almighty Being, we get to pluck that little “fruit” eating deviant out of the garden and toss it into...Where did Adam and Eve go? I’m not up on my...
It really is a personal preference. However, I believe the bulbs that will give you a nice blue with maximum par are:
2 ATI Aquablue specials
2 ATI blue plus
If you stop into AO in Avenal, Will can show you the different bulbs.
Here’s a good link talking about combo’s and PAR values...
I can only guess that they meant threaded drill bit. If so, these are very expense bits that have threads at the one end instead of a smooth shaft. I am only familiar with threaded bits for wood...didn't know they came for concrete. But again, very expensive for one bit.
Yes! There are a...
I can't speak for all plugs, but the plugs that I have either have an approximate half inch stem or no stem at all...just a flat disc.
Your other option would be to get flat plugs or cut the stems off and glue the disc part to the "fingers" of the rock. No drilling needed.
