We are running a Reefbreeders Photon 48 fixture in a mixed reef 90 gallon that has a little bit of everything. SPS, LPS, soft squishy things, polyp...
Sounds like you and I are in the same boat, man! I loved building this tank with my mom, it's turned out great. But I'm going to be pretty bummed...
Super glue gel works great for small frags. Honestly we just take the glue, put it on the plug/rock, and stick the frag in it. Hold if necessary...
Probably even worse than before, actually...it's only a matter of time before she is queen of the universe.
You're still alive, so no harm no foul. However, boiling rock will kill the beneficial bacteria on/in it, making it dead rock rather than live. If...
...um...is there an "explain like I'm 5" version of m2434's comment? :D As for temp, we have our temp alert set to go off for anything above 82 and...
I can't quite vouch for reefbreeders yet, because we have only had our fixture running for a day, so we haven't finished acclimating the corals to it...
Thanks for the input! Unfortunately due to mounting issues, our fixture hangs about 4 to 5 inches over the water level, which is a little closer...
We are slowly acclimating in our new Reef breeders Photon48 over our 90 gallon reef, starting with a custom cycle that peaks at 30% power....
Those 30 and 38 gallons look like fantastic peacock mantis tanks...hmmmmmmmm... :D
My friend and I raised these as kids! Just one of those "hatch them at home" kits from Hobby Lobby, but they are seriously awesome critters. I...

Thanks for the reply! We're trying to do our homework on wrasses, we just want the pretty ones that are peaceful and reef safe. As for the...
We are working on stocking our 90 gallon reef tank, and would like some opinions and criticism on our potential list of "stock options" ;D The...
NEVER. AGAIN. That was the messiest, stress inducing, water everywhere day of my life. Ok, maybe not that bad. But it was still quite the...
Even with pipes below your tank? Have you had any accidents with just dry fitting everything? Or are you talking about only pipes above the...
So just for clarification, you guys are saying to glue the pipes above the bulkheads into the bulkheads (as well as gluing the pipes below into the...
We are putting together our first drilled tank, and I have come across something I didn't expect. In regards to gluing up our plumbing (PVC), do I...
Apparently I suck at working with silicone :D It sure made a mess of things. However, once it cures, hopefully everything is waterproof and good...
One last update, I trusted the middle bubble trap baffle enough to take the book out from under it, and now the other two baffles have been siliconed...
