Are you dripping Kal with vinegar? if so then the Vinegar might be the source.

Lynn, Just hold the syringe real close to the aiptasia and with a steady hand be patient, let it come back out then blast it.

I both a pair of Percs and would like to know what the best host for them? I know that there's lots of different opinions but would really like to know what others Percs are using for the host.

All parameters are good, everything else in the tank is doing well, except for my 2 leathers. About a week ago they stopped pushing out their tenacles, I changed about 20% of the water but checked the condition of the tank before doing the water change which was normal, I also drip Kal at night...

I've use this method effectively when killing just a few. Mix a 90% Kalwasser mix and put it in a syringe, take that syringe and slowly point it over the aiptasia waiting for it to show it's ugly head and then let it have a nice squirt, that thing will vanish. Sounds evil but it worked for me.

I'm looking for ideas to build myself a stand and caopy for a 180G tank. Dimensions are 72x24x24, I'll be using 3 250w Iwasaki MH with 2 4" fans in the hood. I would like to make it as to where there will be some type of air vents to keep the temps down. I've seem some pics online but would...

OK, so then 0.5 thickness is really what I'm going to be looking for. What about the heat from the MH lighting that I'm going to be using, 3 250w Iwasaki and some PCs. Will this cause any problems with the center brace if it comes with one?

It's 72x24x24. So it's pretty long. Why would that make a difference?

What's your opinion on purchasing a acrylic tank that size made with 3/8" thick material. Should I look for a tank that's 1/2"? and is there a big difference in price.

chinese101, Novus is a arcylic scratch remover and cleaner, I'll use this to remove most or some of the scratches in the tank. Hope it works. winger, I think that I'll definately need a center brace becuase this is a 180g tank and this brace will prevent the tank from bowing which can cause...

I just got this tank for almost free , it has a some scratches and the center brace is broken, I'm going to use the Novus cleaner to try to remove the scratches but can I repair the broken brace? I'm thinking that if I use 2 pieces of acrylics on top and bottom of the brace with Weldon #...

What is a closed loop system? Is there any pics or info on how to create a closed loop system? I've been hearing about this for a while now but really haven't seen any pics.

I setup a sump with the following using 3/4" to 1/2" PVC with a Mag12 and a CPR CS150, I got the 150 for a great price The flow was terrible and guys suggested using a larger size PVC so I went with 1 1/2" PVC and now the overflow cannot keep up with the pump, this is for a 60 gallon tank...

Cruiser It's a CPR CS150 which is different from the normal overflows with U-tubes, they recommend a venturi pump (rio 600) which I'm not going to use. That's a great idea if all else fails to send some of the water back to the sump from the sump pump but that's a last ditch effort. SPC...

cstolp, I start the overflow by sigfoning the water, not with a pump, then start the Mag 12 once the sump overflow start to send water to the sump.
