    Turtle Eggs

    Phil, You are correct. These are carnivores. I will have to feed them blood worms and move up to large live food as they grow until released. Also, they require brackish water.

    Torch Near Hammer

    My understanding is even thought they are LPS the torch has a potent sting. I have kept frogspawn and hammer close with no issues. I always kept my torch away from everything else.

    Skimmer diffuser 07735

    Thanks for the offer. I was looking for the plastic piece that attaches to the pump you hook the airline to.

    Turtle Eggs

    Phil, My son bought a Hova-Bator incubator a few years ago. That-Guy, These are sold all over the place and legal to have. Yes, they are threatened. We incubated the eggs because some were dented and with high humidity they can return to normal or very close. The plan is to keep whatever...

    Skimmer diffuser 07735

    Here is what I did to get the skimmer to work. Many bubbles but I can live with for a short period.

    Skimmer diffuser 07735

    Paul, The pump arrived in 3 days. But two days later the sump sprung a leak. So instead of fixing it I planned on a new sump for the 120g. I drained the sump and let it be. The tank looks horrible with no skimmer so was trying to use what I have until I move everything into the new tank.

    Skimmer diffuser 07735

    My tank is not looking well after the sump leak and skimmer is offline. I have a Coralife superskimmer and hooked up my mag5 but have no diffuser. Does anyone have a diffuser or pump I can borrow until my 120g is up and running? Or if there is an easy way to make a diffuser let me know...

    Turtle Eggs

    It finally broke out its shell. I guess I did lose the bet being its a DBT. Never seen any near the house before why I said Slider. Should have known better he has been tracking turtles for years.

    Turtle Eggs

    About two weeks ago my wife found an egg while weeding. My son went over and dug some more and found 13 more eggs. Four were eaten by ants and fifth was cracked open, baby only lived for about an hour. He put the remaining nine in the incubator. Tonight one of the eggs started to hatch, see...

    Stand build questions

    Stand build questions- 07735 I have two questions, for now, about building the stand. I read on several web sites that if its your first stand build you should make it 1 inch longer and wider than the tank. My tank is 48" x 24" so the stand would be 49"x25". Does everyone agree with that...

    Can't catch a break - Sump leak

    Thanks for the advise. Since I am upgrading in the next few weeks I don't think its worth the trouble. I will get a new sump for the 120g. I will just do weekly water changes and hope all is good. If not I have a HOB Coralife 125 I can throw on temporarily.

    Can't catch a break - Sump leak

    It seems my sump under the stand is leaking; at least I hope its that and not DT. I noticed water on the floor this morning and checked, everything looked good except the tank was very full while sump was low. I adjusted the float as it seemed stuck and went on my way. Shortly after I hear the...

    Jim, Thanks for the info. I was hoping to get by with one pump. In this pic you can see part of one overflow on the left side.

    Overflow rate question

    As I plan out my upgrade I was wondering how do I know the the overflow rate of the built-in overflows of the 120g tank? I have a Mag9 pump and not sure if it is strong enough.
