    Flooring/carpeting - anyone involved?

    Been feeling pretty bad last few months. Informed today that my degrading health is being caused by a chronic allergic reaction (indirectly) to the carpeting in the house we recently bought, so I was advised to rip it all out and go with hardwood or laminate. Anyone here do this kind of work or...

    Phyto & Pods

    Joe, I'm raising everything. I have Amphipods, Copepods, blackworms, and three different phytoplanktons going (each phyto is a different size and profile - one for immunity, one for growth, and one for Omegas). On my normal nightly feeding I'll soak a small piece of home made food, add an...

    What is everyone doing for the reef tank today?

    Finally set up my RK and doser. Added 2 yumas and a rainbow anem. Sang the Love Boat theme, ''Loouhuhhhhhvve, exciting and newwwww, climb aboard... when I saw this pairing had occurred at some point in the past day or so... Now I just need my clowns to find the new anem.

    THE APP HAS LAUNCHED - EVERYONE WINS THIS WEEKEND

    Excellent app. Downloaded earlier. Checked sales and stock. Found an anem and used app to contact them to hold a piece for me.While there John activated my 'scratch game' on my phone and I won some cleaning cloths. Picked up my anem and then proceeded, as usual, to buy a few other things while...

    Complete DB 10g rimless

    Another project not getting off the ground. Ready to be filled and cycled. Had this ready to go for dwarf seahorses (though I was planning to replace the small filter with a sponge filter once cycled). Newborn, 4 year old, 90g tank - I have enough on the plate atm. This will make a nice small...

    Gamers? I need help........................Again

    Both Xbox One and PS4 are relatively new but in the gaming battle the Xbox is going downhill. More developers are focusing on PS4 and the Xbox is probably going to be a struggling system soon - think Betamax. But, not doubt the system will be supported for a long time. This is non-scientifically...

    bucket uniseal

    Any homebrewing supply store will have them. Putting spigots on 5 gal buckets is a regular occurrance in the brewing hobby.

    Urchin & mangroves

    Bumping for the urchin. (S)He's still doing great but adopter backed out. Though I love him/her in the fuge I feel guilty.

    Anem question

    Yeah, been about a week with the new water and sand. Was hoping for experiences of 'Sure! Its all good', but expecting advice to hold off a bit. Thanks for the reply, you've confirmed what I was thinking and I'll give it a few months.

    Melanurus Wrasse behavior

    I've bought most of my stock from ACC. I tend to drip acclimate for an hour or so, then empty half the water and continue the acclimation for another 2 hours. Of all the fish I picked up from them most are still going strong. A recent purchase of a purple firefish didn't go to well, as even...

    A discussion on Immunity

    No worries on the plankton. I've got it bottled and labelled and am selling it through a couple of shops, plus I'm planning to get up off my arse within the next 2 weeks and begin selling on ebay/craigslist. I'm a horrible businessman so as I know you I'll send you some on the cheap, drop me a...

    Sump improvement

    Personally I think substrate in the fuge is just something more to clean. Mine has a piece of eggcrate on the bottom with some live rock, a couple of snails, a small hermit or two, and some macroalgae. Light-wise I was running a clip on fixture from HD or Lowes with a 5500-6500 CFL bulb. I just...

    Skimmer discussion

    So, in researching my next moves on the new tank I found a few interesting items on skimmers and how they relate to the system’s return pump. In general, most say that: 1. You should have a skimmer rated (at least) to your bioload 2. You should match return pump to the skimmer rating...

    Tom's 250g+ System Build

    I think it fills the whole addition. Those aren't windows, they're viewing ports.
