    Capping off old closed loop systems.

    What is the best way to cap off old closed loop holes drilled in acrylic that I don't want? I do not have all of the bulkheads on hand so I would have to either glue chunks of acrylic over the holes which is outside of my hands on skill level, or buy bulkeads and cap them off with PVC and hope...

    Going blue. How fast?

    The goals for my softie reef 90 are changing and I no longer want the dual 250 watt 6,500K DE bulbs that I have running on the tank. Are my corals going to stress out if one day out of the blue, "pun intended" I swap 6,500K to 14K bulbs, or should I run 10K for a while? Looking for someone with...

    Fragging a bubble coral. Bad idea?

    Who here has fragged a bubble coral and lived to tell about it? Sharp band saw? What about multiple mouths? How did you keep from damaging the polyps?

    Multiple skimmers

    I already know most people don't think multiple skimmers on a "moderately" sized system is a good idea but I'm going to consider it anyway for several reasons. Actually finding a used skimmer that is big enough to do the job yet fit inside of the stand is going to be impossible. I've seen...

    'Nem anniversery gift.

    A year ago we purchased our first nem from a member at the Spring frag swap. This is my first split ever. Yay! New RBTA in the tank and the parent. alt=""> My theory is that it stressed when I had it out of the tank for a short period of time when I had to move some rocks around...

    Filtration flow rate for the 210 gallon.

    Trying to make at least some basic progress on plumbing the 210 gallon. I'm a bit concerned that the flow rate for the sump filtration is going to be a bit on the low side. I've got a Lifeguard Aquatics 5000 with a 1" MPT or a 3/4 barb. Head height is around 4.5 feet or less...

    Plumbing the 210. Multiple challanges. Help needed.

    I want to get my 210 going as soon as possible and I've started looking at the plumbing. Let me just say up front I'm not a plumber by any stretch of the imagination. There are only two holes drilled into the tank. A 2" drain on the right side, and a 1" return on the left. Holes are near the...

    Commercial frag tanks

    Looking for suggestions for frag tanks with an open frame stand around 36 X 24 X 8-10 that are pretty much available on demand. Prefer pre drilled. Glass or acrylic is OK. No DIY setups unless they can guarantee 5 business day turn around or less pretty much year round. Ideas? Thanks.
