+1, lots of tanks are tempered just on the bottom because that takes all the weight of the rock etc. I've heard of people "patching" cracked trim...
I was agreeing with him that not all bristleworms live off detritus which quite a lot of people seemed to scoff at. I agree it's probably not as...
I think you might want to do some more research on reflectors if you are going to rule them out entirely. Basing results off of only the bulbs is...
Polls just make everything look so black and white. :) I'm more of a shade of grey type person.
Are you going to have a hood or do you need a fixture? If you have a hood make sure you check out the retro-fit kits (reefgeek.com has good prices on...
Just to comment on the poll in relation to your other thread. Technically until you have a PAR meter and tons of equipment, bulbs, ballasts,...
Space is quite a huge thing when you're trying to cram as much light over your tank as possible to keep high light coral. Considering most people's...
I have to agree with Bwalker (although I probably would have stated it differently :) ), there are predatory "bristle" worms, the majority are...
They're really small so not surprised you haven't seen them yet. http://www.bigelow.org/foodweb/copepod.jpg
RO/DI here. I would never leave my tank up to chance using tap water. Obviously it works for some people, for others it's been the reason they end up...
Calcium, alkalinity and magnesium is all for me. :) I don't like the "trace elements" mixtures, I don't like adding anything I can't test for. How...
Thanks, hopefully it won't be too long, I don't have any major plans this weekend yet so who knows! I ran out of plumbing tape last night trying to...
I am not sure the 200 is going to fit in a 20 long, if it does fit it's going to be extremely tight. I have a 200 and put it in my acrylic sump with...
I think that's smart. Unless you're looking at really large tanks, where the material costs are much greater, I think paying for a tank in good shape...
Looks like pocillopora or stylophora to me too, regardless the care should be the same. It looks browned out possibly from too low light levels at...
There's a good test of CO2 levels outlined here: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-05/rhf/index.php#14
I would raise it a little by 50-100 just because i like being on the safe side. I would also raise your salinity to about 1.025, I think 1.023 is a...
To throw my 2 cents into the ring, I would probably rethink the larger tangs like the Naso and Vlamingii (maybe even the Achilles, I know of one...
Sounds like a great stock list to me, I don't see any problems. I haven't heard of any other reports of pistols attack other shrimp except for that...
And finally, after quite a hiatus over the summer for a variety of reasons I finally got back to plumbing for the last couple weeks. It took quite a...
