    Fish Trap

    Take a 2 liter bottle and cut the spout off about 3" / 4" down. You then invert into the remaing bottle section. You will need to cut the spout out depending in size of fish you want to capture. Glue it together and tie a piece of string. Bait it and wait. I actually stapled mine together.

    Fish Trap

    I made one out of egg crate and twist ties. It is boxed shape about 10" tall 3" wide. One narrow side has an opening of about 4". I tied a piece of string to it and put a rock with nori in it. depending on the fish it could take 5min or a few days. I pull the string and then net the fish out.

    Lion Fish

    This post is going to force me to buy a Fu Man Chu if it doesn't slow down. This the first time I don't have one in my tank.

    Corner overflows?

    It's a shame this wasn't posted 2 weeks ago. I took out the corner overflow of a 75RR tank. The tank was broken and I converted into a reptile cage. Unfortunately, I tossed out the piece thinking no one would need it.

    Any1 wants cleaner algae pack?

    I agree if they don't want our business why give it to them. Times are hard and I am sure another distributor would be happy to have us as a customer.

    Zoo Frag Repair

    I say re-glue. Just dry the plug with a paper towel and the bottom of the frag. Add glue and press, not to hard, and hold for 30 secs. Then place it back in the tank.

    Weird question but.....

    Matt, I was thinking the same thing about unpluging 1 at a time. The heater is about 2 years old so I will start with it. The other thing I realized was that my Phosban reactor sprung a leak and the power strip got pretty wet. I dried it ouy but think I'll replace it just to be safe.

    Weird question but.....

    I assume a VOM is a volt meter, which I don't have. I am more concerned a piece of equipment is malfuncting and causing stray voltage.

    Weird question but.....

    I noticed lately that when I put my hand in the tank I get what seems like an electric shock under my finger nails. Not very strong but enough for me to notice. At first I thought it was a cut under my nail as it partially ripped off. I would expect a burn not a shock if it was the cut. Any...

    New and Nervous

    Well, I was using tap water for a year and somethings lived and some died, but nothing thrived. I just hooked up my RODI and did a water change. The water seems cleared and 5 of my zoas started to open. I bought mine new on ebay and with shipping was about $80. Its a six stage unit. If you...

    Tank frustrations still

    Can you skim the surface some how in the DT. Usually, done with a hang-on skimmer and adapter but I am sure there are other methods. Hopefully, someone here can advise.
