For freshwater tanks with high light levels you must us CO2. As mentioned, you don’t need to go with expensive tanks and gauges. You can build a simple DIY bubbler using yeast.

Consider bamboo…it’s a green building choice and is solid wood through and through. Most other floors today are laminates and don’t hold up well to water and wear. They actually make a bamboo that looks like other typically woods. Check it out, you wouldn’t be disappointed….and mikem is your man!

I will let others respond who have a better eye than me, but that looks like an aiptasia anemone to me.

Here’s two reference articles on “pods,” amphipods and copepods: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-09/rs/index.php http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-10/rs/index.php

The older pressure treated wood contained CCA (chromated copper arsenate), which has been replaced by, most commonly, ACQ (alkaline copper quaternary). The concern with CCA was the arsenate, which could transfer to the hands and, as Mike pointed out, is a poison. There still is a concern of skin...

Obviously a clog somewhere of that snowy precipitate that formed. Not familiar with this skimmer, but one note of caution - If it has rubber parts, dipping or running the entire skimmer in vinegar will cause the rubber to break down. If you can take it apart, soak individual parts in vinegar...

Sure makes water changes and dead fish issues easy to take care of.

I don’t mean to hi-jack, but as a newbie, could you explain why 460 and not 420? I’d like to know. Thanks

I didn't know you were an attorney. I might need your help.  I have my foot caught in my toilet, and there was no label stating I couldn't put my foot in there to unclog the bugger.  Do I have a case? ;D Or am I in deep....?

I originally had the same problem...just clicked into the Barton site and I'm no longer getting that virus warning. Looks like you got it. ;D

We took advantage of the warm weather yesterday and popped two holes in the glass.  Good news, the glass wasn’t tempered.  Not having polarized film, onefish commented that if this tank shatters, will just buy a new 75.  With drill in hand, we popped two holes into the back of the tank.  I guess...

Sure sounds like something funky with the water. Is she using a hydrometer or refractometer for measuring salinity? Either way, I would see if you could borrow another refractormeter to see if your salinity is in line. What volume of water is she changing? Does she also heat up her water to...

The seaweed we picked up at AO this past week had garlic included in the seaweed. I’m too much of a newbie to say that I’ve seen some benefit. (If anything, it’s kept the werewolves and vampires away.) However, I’m of the belief that it can’t hurt, especially if you have some of those...

I guess I’m aging myself.  Bozo the Clown was a TV show in the 60’s (or maybe 50’s, I can’t remember the actual years).  They had buttons which were of little value.  And it was commonly said, as a joke, that if you were right on something, you would win so many Bozo buttons.  Two Bozo buttons...

ReeferNets wins the prize…two Bozo buttons for you ;D...Angle Halo it is: Ed, when I first saw the picture in your post, I say, “Wow, Ed really got that new lens figured out.”  Unfortunately, I found that same pic on CoralPedia.

The picture is not the greatest. Maybe Purple Hornets???  You would do better trying to pick it out yourself at this site: http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=15 Also realize, this site only has a handful of zoas listed.

The Glass-Holes overflow arrived today. Wooohooo! I’m impressed. I finally see how this thing works, and supposedly is quiet. It has baffles! The other thing I like is that it is only 6 x 12 x 2 inches, and rated for 1500 gph. Won’t take up much room in the tank. Can’t wait to drill this little...

Yes!  It's the white plastic kind that is about 3/8 of an inch thick. Just make sure it doesn't have a microcide in the plastic to kill bacteria.
