  2. Acrylic Sheets for cheap???

    I made a sump 3 yr 4 mo ago out of the plexiglass (.220 or close to 1/4") from home depot. I used weld-on #3 and hand scraped the saw marks on the edges, no leaks yet. 28"x14"x16" , I have no regrets with it, but, it is a sump not a show tank. Jim

  4. Elaborate Tank Diagram...what do you think?

    If possible with the SCWD try to center it, I installed mine as per your diagram a while ago and it seemed to put out more on the short side and not enough on the long side. I did'nt have a problem with centering it, but used what I had on hand, should have bought the material and done it right...
  5. Black Tang!!??

    Chill seems responsbile, hence the questions. There is no guarentee that if Chill doesn't buy it, a responsible hobbiest would. If I were the fish, I would rather take my chances with Chill, then with someone with gold dripping off them buying it because they "have to have it"(whatever it is)...
  6. Grape caulerpa? (C. racemosa?)

    I read in a post (somewhere,slips my 53 yr mind at the moment) that if you trim them back once a mo it will stop it from going sexual, don't know if true or not, but thought I would through it out, seems it stops some sort of cycle.

  8. Cheap skimmer for a 30 gallon tank?

    Ditto one the CPR, also they are using the MaxiJets on them now. If not you can get the kit on their site to change over a regular MaxiJet(as I did), Rio's just scared me after reading neg. about them.

  11. "I thought this was a tank not a hot tub" OR overf

    Thanks for your ideas. Is the pipe with the cuts in it capped at the end? If so I would worry about the cuts becoming plugged, but then again I seem to worry about everything after making Noah proud a few times ;-)
  12. help w/ REVERSE OSMOSIS FILTER

    That's interesting, I purchased a 6 stage unit from Aquasafe(Canada) and it only drops my phosphate by a half point. Using Red Sea kit. Plain Tap Water= >2.0 RO/DI water= 1.5 RO/DI + Instant Ocean aged mix = 1.5 Tank = 2.0 some of it is due to my over feeding(dang it) but I sure am disapointed...

The two small buds I got from it are just about the same, they are about 3/16th for one and a bit over 1/4" for the other. By the...
  15. Goniopora article by JULIAN SPRUNG

    I feed with DT's and my own culture I make up. I don't use manganese. I do supplement iron. Actually it is going on 3 years and 4 moths. in my tank. I was really surprised to see the two buds as I saw no clue something was about to happen. They are perched next to the parent. I think I will...
