you do sound nuts. As to your question, I would imagine that if you have 24hr lights for a while, then the corals might not do as well. Many emit...
1 hermit and snail aren't much, it really depends on the size of your tank and bio load. For an immediate cure, siphon out the food at the bottom....
thanks for all the opinions, this is a tougher decision then I originally thought.
welcome! Sounds like a great project and also sounds like you are going about it the right way. Enjoy the site
I know I have had a lot of questions about this area, but one more. I have looking at either a mag 7 return on my sump or a rio 2100. Anybody have...
anybody have a good way to hook that nozzle up to pvc pipe?
took the words out of my mouth. If you look at your tank closely, particularly sideways, you can see tiny bubbles on the rock. This is caused by the...
this thread has been a blast to read, very entertaining. But seriously, as has been mentioned, there is no one correct way to do anything in this...

Even if you bought base rock, which onilne is about $2-3 per lb, that's $100-150 you saved, if you bought it at a store, you are looking at more like...
thanks a lot for the advice, appreciate it
Ok, right now I am going to build a sump. However, I want to have some sort of autotop off system, but of course, can't afford, and I literally mean...
ive used tap water, others will recommend RO/DI water. The last rinse should be with salt water.
that would be fine. I've done that before. I would rinse the rock off with fresh water, then soak it in baking soda for a few days, then let it dry,...
thanks guys for the input, very helpful
