These are planktivores, unlike most angels, and are reef safe. They don't pick off the rocks and eat corals like most angels. There are other...
These wrasses, while beautiful, are something I would never even attempt to put in a reef. They will eat shrimp, corals, clams, basically anything...
If it is bryopsis, I would get all of it off. Use a clean quart container or so, and use a tweezers to get the bryopsis off. After that, make sure...
I am pretty proud of myself. I took the entire thing apart, cleaned it all out, replaced the broken belt, and now it works. I was pissed at the...
Take a look on melevsreef to see how to make an acrylic tank. If you want to do acrylic, practice on smaller tanks and projects, then make the DT...
I don't think the resin is that pricey. I built my plywood/ epoxy/ glass hybrid 193 g tank for 400 dollars. The resin itself was only around 100...
I like the ingenuity. I used 2 of these mag clips for a small frag rack. They hold the rack well even on 3/8" thick glass. How thick is your...
I have not been on 3reef a lot lately. I have noticed a lot of new sps grwoth with the new lighting, and I had my ph probe go south on my calcium...
There are a few wrasses that will control FW populations, but not are the lined types. 6 lines will not generally eat FW's, but every once in a...
No problem:) Whereabouts in Oregon are you? My Fiance used to live in Portland for 12 years,and both of my older Brothers lived there. One still...
That is actually a "wrap" made of plastic that goes over the white van. It's pretty much durable sticker that can be pulled off. Matt, ask Comcast...
I used to work at a plumbing and boiler shop. Oatey glues are very common and probably the most common PVC glue used across the entire nation. HD...
The Korallia controller is a great way to make waves and add flow to a tank. Tunzes and vortechs are other options, but usually you can get a...
I would not get a cpr backpak either, not for a 55g. Buying a nicer used skimmer should do the trick.
BM makes a great skimmer for not a lot of money.
I can pretty much guarantee that the bottom is tempered on that tank. I have had much older AGA tanks that were tempered on the bottom, and smaller...
I use Oatey PVC glue in the gold can, and Oatey PVC primer in the purple can. Always use primer as this is the only way to ensure that your joint...
If you want to keep FW's under naturally, get a halicheores wrasse. 6 lines are of the genus pseudocheilinus, or the lined wrasses. These lined...
I agree. Glass is much more resistant to scratching. Another idea would be to make a plywood epoxy glass tank like I did.
I don't have any nitrates in my tank, and my fuzzy chitons did not last long. The tropical pacific chitons I have in my tank are doing great...
