Moving a tank will stur up all sorts of crap, and if some of it moved with the water/rocks, it most likely decomposed, turning eventually into...
New LARGER tank? ;D
I second the JB Waterweld as a temporary fix. You can place it inside underwater. But yeah, you'll have to fix it good and proper once you have the...
They are chemically the same test. The color charts are just a little different. One's orange is another's red. I agree on your last statement.;D
Let me know if you figure that one out... lol. For a FOWLR system, I'd strive for nitrates below 40. For a reef, as close to 0 as you can get. Both...
Here's the real kicker. The saltwater test kit and the reefmaster test kit both come with the nitrate test. So you'd think the color charts would be...
Yeah, I took my check valves out too. Just fill your sump to your preferred level, and make sure that the return heads in the display tank are just...
I've run into space issues underneath as well. I just picked up a 3 gallon plastic sterilite trash can from walmart that will suffice for me, its...
Great suggestion! I'll look into it...
The tests are brand new (less than 2 months), API, and I'm reading them right, the tube is dark blue, indicating close to 10ppm reading. How long...
Just aquired a mature used setup, you can see most of the specs in my system build. I've tested the PO4 three times now since the system has been...
Well, maybe some of you saw my other thread, but I woke up two days after the move to find this creeping around the bottom of my tank: [IMG] My...
Thank you all for your suggestions. I woke up this morning all nervous, but breathed a big sigh of relief when I found no more salt creeps. Turns out...
Well, like I said, it's the same location around the tank that I was transferring the live rock into, so quite a bit of water dripped down the side....
Another possibility is that perhaps during the move and setup, some saltwater got in the seam between the bracing and glass, and salt is showing up...
Really? Even if I drain the tank and apply silicone over the inside seal? I can live with it like it is, just have to wipe down every so often. Any...
New (used) 90 gal tank up and running. I'm noticing saltcreep coming up out of the bracing on the bottom of the DT in several areas. Any suggestions...
Alright, got home tonight with some filter sponge, cut it up and put it around the pump. Can hardly hear it now! ;D Now I just have to take care of...
WHEW, I hope I dont have to do that too many more times in my life. Ended up moving the tank a day before scheduled to avoid of all this snow Los...
No, submersed Rio HF 3200. I'm pretty sure most of the noise comes from it vibrating against the sump. I'm going to try padding it this evening, but...
