coat the black back with petroleum jelly then smooth it onto the tank

I always just figured since the calcium and alk. levels are not bad then it doesn't matter how you put them in there. Calcium at 450 is calcium at 450 no matter how you get there. I can see where i can increase some flow im gonna fidget some and let you know what i do. Thanks

Let me know if this picture is good enough or if you need a closer one It is a brand new aquarium about 8 months old. I upgraded it from a 55. I test the iodide every month and it is still in place. I might just switch and try something else for a while.

150lbs of rock 40 lbs of sand calcium about 450 alk 14 dKH ph about 8,2 im just trying to keep mushrooms and polyps. There are some mushrooms in there that are doing ok but the green button polyps that are in there are slowly dieing. I have a quarter sized patch of green star polyps that come...

i am useing ro/di and change 20 gallons every three weeks relgiously, flow is pretty good. The left side of the tank could use some but im not even having any luck on the right. I will post pictures if someone can tell me how or where to find out how to do it. Everytime i try to add a...

I have a 75 gallon aquarium that just will not grow any corals. I know it has to be something simple that i am just over looking but i can't put a finger on it. Other aquariums that i have do just fine. I have always used all seachem supplements with no problems. Reef iodide, carbonate...

People buy sharks thinking that they will just keep upgrading the tank but they never do and all of them will run out of money to spend on upgrading the size of the tank. Their should be certifications and licensing for this hobby and different classes determining the levels of these licenses...

R.I.P. 10/27/05 Bad news fella's. I really don't want to talk about it. Three words followed by two words, "Ignorance, Heater, Unplugged", "Not Me". I appreciate all of your input. A couple of you gave me some connections that I did not jump on as fast as i should. Thank you for everything...

Interesting Theory. I don't know if that would be a problem or not, but i know that she swam pretty much 75-80% of the time

Ive noticed that alot of the organisms released into the wild have been found wounded and are tended to until they are capeable of returning. Thats why this is different because the shark has been in captivity since it was about 8"-12" and i know it has been in captivity for about 6 years in a...

im not releasing it so at least we don't have to worry about any of this. Hopefully other readers will at least search for alternatives besides reintroduction. There are alot of negatives to releasing in the wild some may be arguable but safe is always better than sorry.

pepperoni, thats a great point, but doesn't apply to the shark. They are native to Atlantic waters whereas lionfish are not.

Ill try thanks for the idea.
