    For Sale: 100 gallon tank and stand...

    Hi everyone. Due to a bad break up I am currently selling my tank and stand. I want to continue the hobby but at the current time frame in my life I can't store the aquarium for very long. Currently breaking it all down. I'm selling it $300 firm... I'll throw in the t-5 light for an additional...

    For Sale: Dersa clam

    I have a six inch Dersa clam for sale... It's in great health... Tearing down my 100 gallon and starting over. Don't think I'll have enough BB to keep it. PM me for info.

    Made out like a bandit!! :)

    Ok figured it out... But will it be sufficient... So what I'm going to do is save a few corals and cut and chisel them off the rock it's placed on. Problem is I won't have enough beneficial bacteria in the QT tank set up. So I'm thinking I can place a few rocks that are not badly covered in...

    The problem is lighting... I only have my 48 inch light that fits my tank. Not sure where to house them all unless I have a long QT tank. I went and bought a new 20 to fit the extra stand I have. I don't think I can get away with an other tank. Lol. I'll get kicked out fish and all. I'll call...

    Aquarium tear down time!!! Not looking forward to it. I should have started this the first time around but I was to eager to get it started. Douching everything with elbow grease and vinegar... Going to seriously go through every nook and crany to get this tank free from apstasia! I would rinse...

    Wasn't sure if the flow rate on the pipes would change or stay the same if I was going schedule 40... The standpipe is already there. I'm not sure on the diameter of it... I'll have to measure it once I get home. :)

    Would I have to change my return pump as well?

    Going to redo the plumbing on the tank... Excuse the funky drawing... But whatcha guys think.... ??? Right now it's mostly flexible tubing... Want to convert some of the flex tube to PVC schedule 40... Thoughts and or feedback would be appreciated. :)...

    It looks green... So it may have just been a piece of the calupera. Thanks for the tip. I'll get on that water change tonight. :)

    Made out like a bandit!! :)

    Earlier this week I was cleaning out some culpera off my live rock and I gently moved my rock on its side and I'm not sure what happened between then and now... But the last couple of days I've notice my nem look horrid. Never seen it so small. Usually it takes up most of the rock work... Does...

    Caulerpa is over running my DT!

    If it's on your rock it's going to consume it like crazy... I have the same issue in my DT after constantly trimming it back and maintaining it I finally gave up... Tearing down my tank... Drying the LR out and starting over again... Most likely your parameters are sky high in phosphates... But...

    What's the ratio on the baking soda to water???

    Made out like a bandit!! :)

    New plan... Buying 50 lbs of pukkani dry rock from brs... Drying out my live rock until it's completely white... Buying a new QT tank to house my fish and coral (my old one had medication put in) and I don't want to risk it... I'm highly considering selling all my coral, anemone and...

    Yeah, trying not to give up! It's just a bit overwhelming zapping the apstasia... It returning ten times more and manually removing all the algae. Thanks for tip Dari. Going to figure out my next steps in the meantime. :)

    Made out like a bandit!! :)

    I have a 30 gallon QT tank I could use for my fish but I may have to figure out what to do with my corals... I don't think my tank will have much bb in it for everything after a regular cycle and if I start from scratch... I'd have to buy a whole new tank just for the corals and clams. I enjoy...

    Made out like a bandit!! :)

    So I'm thinking about tearing down my tank and starting from scratch... I inherited the tank with apstasia, calupera and some other type of algae... And it's over taking some of my live rock and I'm frustrated. I don't want to completely tear down my tank but I think I just want to start all...

    Mysterious Deaths!

    That was my initial reaction. Marine velvet can wipe out a tank pretty quickly. It happened to me. Matt... Sometimes QT your tank inhabitants help. I know sometimes it's hard to do... I won't beat ya up over it. :) I had to learn the hard way though... Personally, I prefer to QT. Doesn't mean...

    Mysterious Deaths!

    You may want to leave the tank barren for two months to kill the life cycle of any type of parasite. If some type of cleaning chemical entered the tank it would most likely kill off all your tank inhabitants and or crash your tank. I'm leaning on it is more likely you had some parasites lurking...

    I need a sump

    Easy to make!!! YouTube is a great resource to have... Check your local hardware store for glass or acrylic sheets. I've seen them in different sizes.
