internal overflows have several advantages. In no order, first is that you can put a tank flush against the wall, or minimal space anyways.......
Absolutely necessary, no. Highly desirable: absolutely. If you do near daily 50% water changes you can do without one for a pretty large stock of...
it might set you bio balls back a few days, but a healthy culture should recover from a short drowning.
I have zoas, they ignore them as far as I've seen.... not at the tank 24/7. The spots appeared after I put in some frogspawn frags, so it's hard to...
some spots are small clusters, barely visible as individuals, but in a small cluster. Others seem to be a single scale. I will keep a close eye on...
I'd suggest morrish idols and maybe some anemones, a ribbon eel or two would probably be good. Oh, and chambered nautilus are much cooler than...
first thing: Don't take this personally, I can be a horribly crass know-it-all, I'm just saying... now one thing to consider is that good LR is very...
So I noticed this scratch on the glass. I work with glass, so I have all the tools to remove it, just wondering if it would cause more damage to the...
So I've heard two things about these black spots on my Clown fish. Stings or Black Ich / black spot disease. Can't find info on any. Here's the best...

I was thinking about having some copper tube gold plated on the inside, run into a 5g bucket full of clay mud (bentonite) like they use in geothermal...

Did a cursory search for salt creep and just found people talking about it in passing. So the question is do I recycle it, or toss it? I live in a...
a standard 10g tank is what, 20x10x12, .... the 50# of LR in my 58 compacted into a shipping container 30x20x16 inside ... so now we have 100# in a...
I have a misfit hermit crab and a nassarius snail in the fuge, they can't even start to keep up with the algae growth, mostly they are there to eat...
Thanks for the comments so far. I spent some time today getting prices. a 12x4' cell cast 3/4" acrylic sheet would be in the neighborhood of $7500....
*sigh* next thing you know someone will make a screen door for a submarine.... Solar-Powered Flashlight
I have worked with acrylic quite a bit. I haven't built a tank for fish, but I know to make a water tight acrylic tank isn't as easy as glass, but in...
I've tossed around the idea of a cheap mini-fridge, some PEX pipe, and a pump on a thermostat.... wouldn't be as compact as a proper chiller, but...
Home Repot has them in the plumbing/pipefitting tools area, $15 or so. But like all others say, snug is key. If you have good wrists/fingers you'll...
