I made my own diy bulkheads from pvc fittings for an overflow I pieced together. What could I use for gasket material? Or where could I find a gasket that would fit? 1.5" opening, btw. Thanks

Made myself a 20 gal long sump, from a tank I got from the sell forum for $20. TOTALLY stole Marc's updated design from his site. I think it came out ok for my first foray into sump buiulding. Cutting the teeth on the last baffle probably took the longest. And the silicone set up a lil on me...

I'm thinking about going with a closed loop system for flow in the 75 gal I'm setting up. But I have a few questions. It seems that most of the closed loop systems I've seen are just that, closed loop with the pump simply pulling water from the overflow and pumping it back into the tank for...

Are there any fish or inverts that prey on these things? I know they're benficial to the tank, I'm just curious.

I know this is a strange request. But I was wondering if there is anyone close to me (I know we have a couple of members near me (The Colony)), who'd be willing to host my nem. I've been having some tank issues, and I don't want to lose my nem! I did a major water change a couple of weeks...

Currently I have a HOT fuge on my tank and a filter. Is it possible to just run the fuge and a skimmer? Or is that not enough filtration??? I ask, because I've been dealing with some algae issues.

I need help! I first noticed some of my yellow polyps not really fully extending and some turning from yellow to this light green color. Little did I realize that they would eventually start to shrivel up and start to die on me. And now my zoas are starting to recede!! There is what looks...

Just curious to know if anyone else has experienced this..... I got my bta a few weeks ago. Recently, I noticed that my clown has undergone a little growth spurt. He had grown some since I've had him, but after I got my nem, he must have grown another half inch or so?? Has anyone else ever...

I've had my nem for about a month or so now and she had been in the same spot since I got her. I had even made some adjustments with my live rock so she could stay where she was and be happy and look pretty. Well, a few days ago it looked to me like it was starting to split. It had a round or...

I bought some pre-mixed saltwater from DNA last week end for a partial water change. I haven't been able to do the water change yet. So my question is: Is my pre mixed saltwater from DNA still ok to use or should I get some more? The water has just been sitting.

I have a 29 gal oceanic and I currently have Flame angel, mandarin, clown and a firefish. I also have a cleaner and a peppermint shrimp as well as a few snails and a couple of crabs. I was considering adding a flame hawk. Would this be too many fish for my tank? I do have a h.o.t. fuge too...

Will pods readily reproduce in my fuge with the light on constantly? Do they need a dark/light cycle to reproduce? Didn't think about this until recently. I've had my h.o.t. fuge set up a few weeks and have been running the light 24/7. I have a small clump of cheato and I've been adding DT's...

I have a little green citron goby and Im worried about him. He seems to be getting quite skinny. I feed the tank every other day. I alternate flake, cyclopeeze, frozen reef food and frozen mysis. I also have a lawnmower blenny and clown who are pretty fat (especially the clown). I see the...

I was over in the area yesterday, so I got 5 gallons of RO/DI water for top off from Keller Farms. I used it to top off my tank and my xenia immediately started to close up and retract all it's arms. Now it is definitely dying!!! Both of my xenia frags have drawn up and are turning dark...

I have yellow polyps growing on the side of my tank. I'll be moving in a week and will be removing the water. I've heard I could just scrape them off the glass with a razor blade. But how do I attach them to a live rock or piece of rubble once I've scraped them off the glass?? Any advice...
