I purchased a 210g aquarium from a person on craigslist. I looked it over before buying and it was holding water just fine because he had it still running. My only concern is what the silicone looks like between the glass pieces. Attached are some photos. Would like to know your thoughts. Sent...

Hey everyone thanks for the advice, I filled it about halfway. The two bulkheads were capped with pvc and were hand tightend. I had to get different rubberwashers which i had to by a couple bulkheads, but shes holding so far. Is there anything else for me to do? How long should the bulkheads...

I tried doing it this way but it started leaking 30 gallons in, mayber I over tightend the bulkhead? If I do get it to hold with just a bulkhead, is that going to last? Sent from my LG-D959 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I like the idea thank you but i have an easier water change system. Plus i will have sand covering that area in the tank. Sent from my LG-D959 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ok so i need to cover the entire surface of the glass and stick it down over the hole? Then silicone the edges and silicone the hole? That will last a long time and not crack with the sand and rock over it plus water weight. Sent from my LG-D959 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

After a year it started leaking on you? How bad? And did you drain the whole tank and repair it? Sent from my LG-D959 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 225 gallon fish tank with a dual center overflow. However the tank also has a hole on either side of the tank driled into the bottom of the tank. The previous owner used the holes as return lines to get flow from the bottom. I need the best way to seal/plug them up. Can I use bulkheads...

Orange diamond spotted goby

What type of water are you using? RODI, tap water, distilled water? And how are you acclimating/ introducing your fish to your systems?

Scooter blenny, Midas Blenny <-very cool fish. Some smaller Bristol tooth tangs are neat. Yellow watchman Goby, blue spotted puffer from Hawaii.

Does your light fade on or just click on? How did you acclimate him to your tank? Some fish take longer than others to get use to things. Do you have plenty of rocks set up for him to hide in. The more caves and places you have for them to hide the more your fish will stay out and swim.

A strong clean up crew. Nassarius snails are a great addition to any clean up crew. They dig into the sand and are always turning it up and eating. Blue leg hermits. Various other snails and crabs. Sand sifting starfish and goby can be helpful. Good water flow helps as well ( keep things...

If he keeps getting picked on you can rearrange the rock work so that everything looks different for the fish. Break up their territories. How long have you had the dottyback? And how did you acclimate the wrasse to the tank? How many fish do you have?

Are those a good thing?

Im seeing things in my sand bed and I believe they are baby snails. My clean up crew consist of turbo snails, nassarius snails, and a few cerith snails. Has anyone had experience with this or know what they are. I hope they are not flat rooms.

I am looking at purchasing a 90g drilled tank. The tank had two overflows. The previous owner took out one of the black overflow panels which left the two holes on one of the sides. He has sealed the bulk head holes and the tank holds water. My question is should I buy this tank. Will the...

It was hiding for a week came out for a day (had no tentacles) then hid again ,then I flipped the rock over and found a bubble less flat nem. It has been release some stringy clear looking stuff and still has no tentacles like when first introduced.

I was running gfo with a little carbon but it was suggested that I turn off my reactor. Which I have

Ok so it's more than likely my tank parameters I have been testing and the results seem fine. I have been using kalk in my ato but not a lot. I started over the course of 4 weeks.i used 2 tsp then 3 tsp and then 4tsp, I have a 4g ato bucket. 4 tsp in a 4 gallon bucket shouldn't be an over...
