Be careful of the RO water from the grocery store machines (it's only RO not RO/DI). I had been running my tank at 0 nitrates for a number of months and all of a sudden, my nitrates read 40. Why? Tested the RO water from two different stores, one read 20, the other 40ppm on nitrates. If they...

Sorry that I am a week and a half late in getting back to this thread, but I did an ammonia test yesterday on my newly mixed red sea coral pro water and my ammonia read 0. Just fyi.

Any cyanoacrylate glue will work. I buy the Super Glue (brand) 3 small tubes for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree store. Each tube doesn't last long because there is such a small amount in each, but I don't frag that often so it works for me. Also, I just bought a tube of Krazy Glue Advanced and...

I had a small broken branch of a purple plume gorgonian that I super glued into a notch on the side of a arch rock. It took hold in about a week and has been branching ever since.

I will mix some up tonight when I get home from work and report the results. Just fyi, I mix in a home depot bucket.

Well, after some more research, it seems that ethyl cyanoacetate is a key ingredient in making cyanoacrylate. Just as a point of information (because the more info the better as far as I'm concerned) here is a quote from the article linked below. "The chemicals necessary to form...

Anyone know what the second ingredient is/does? It seems it is related to cyanoacrylate.

Has anyone used Krazy Glue Advanced Gel for gluing frags? I'm a bit nervous about it because the contents reads: cyanoacrylate glue, ethyl cyanoacetate. Typically, the super glues I've used in the past only list cyanoacrylate.

I just measured the one I bought from a fellow nanoreefer and it's 4 3/8" from the back edge of the tank when it's hung.

Anybody?

Hi all, I've read a few posts on using this breeder box http://www.finnex.net/index.php?page=shop....=1&Itemid=6 as a fuge and all of them end up talking about the weak flow created by the included air pump if used for macroalgaes, etc. Has anyone used various sizes of vinyl tubing as a...

Bump. Anyone?

I just bought a 4 head frag of Australian green splatter goniastrea two nights ago for my 10 gallon nano and it's showing a little tissue recession on some of the edges. Also the maroon color is a little faded from when I first put it in. My water parameters are fine, 78.5 F, 1.025, 0...

I have a 10 gallon I started in March, have two large hermits, 3 cerith snails (started with 5, causes of death - unknown), 1 young O. clown and a BiColor Blenny. Benny (the Blenny) is a riot to watch, just love him. He and Sparky the clown get along well, I mean they seem to really like each...

Well, I finally cut out the two zoa polyps out of the GSP mat today. Was able to pull up a bit of the mat with one polyp, the other wasn't surrounded yet so I tried cutting a bit of the rock out from underneath the polyp but ended up cutting it off right at the bottom the the stem Superglued...

Thank you for the advice. Will let you know how it turns out when I do it.

I have a small frag rock of some beautiful GSP I put in my 10 gallon recently and have discovered that the purple mat is surrounding a small zoa polyp that I would like to save. Can I just cut the zoa at the base and glue it to a plug? I don't want to get any of the GSP mat or will probably...

Great tank 360, clean looking scape and all.

Nice. What's the music track? Love it! Beginning reminds me a bit of Laurie Anderson.

Well, I haven't eliminated the growth, but it certainly is not regenerating itself as quickly. Just gonna keep to my weekly 15-20% water changes and pull the surface pieces of crushed coral that have the clingy threads and brush off the very few rock areas that still are getting a little...

Good idea Chisel about shaking up the salt before mixing it with water! Can't hurt.
