i used windex and this: worked perfectly

i think its a good idea to add some ammonia yourself. make sure its pure ammonia. windex wont work.

Update 12/16/08 I installed a GFCI outlet and put it inside a waterproof housing. There's no way any water will ever get inside. i also found my skimmer and cleaned it, its an AquaC originally i had planned to use the 40 gallon glass tank as a sump, but after sitting down and trying to...

hey justin, thanks for all your input. i agree on all your points. remember the aquarium is not up and running, i just wanted to see how it looks (paintwise). i will definitaely be leaving room on the left side. also that window is getting a curtain sometime this week. there is an outlet...

i painted the back blue today and after it dried i couldn't wait any longer and set it up. there's no plumbing yet and no water/fish of course, but i just wanted to see how it looked. for livestock: I plan on having a Rose Bulb Anemone with a large mated clown pair inside. I would also like...

you're putting your fish through a cruel experience. no one said fishless cycle is better, but its a heck of a lot less cruel.

contrary to what the live sand bag says, there's no way your tank could have cycled in a week, simply by adding live sand. your fish died because you didn't cycle the tank properly. get a new test kit and wait at least a month before you add any more fish.

here's another shot. i checked again this morning and the paint is doing pretty good along the lines of curing. maybe i can do the clear coat within a week. in the mean time, ive decided to go with sand again. the reason i didn't want sand was because it makes a mess when anything...

is ur sand live, or is it just normal sand?

im not an expert but, you added corals right after cycling? I was under the impression that the tank needs to be well seasoned before adding any corals to it.

Hi guys. Ive been MIA for about 2 years or so i believe. I have a 120 gallon aquarium which i had to take apart and store because we moved. At my new house i took a look around and realized the black aquarium cabinet would look hideous with the new decor, so i decided to fancy it up a bit to...

what waste water? what waste water, i thought an R/O system was basically just a filter. We have one under the kitchen sink, i didn't realize there's a drain.

Let me start off by saying i got a new tank, 125 Gallon with a 50 gallon sump, protein skimmer, U'V sterilizer, built in over flows, cabinets doorts on the sides blah blah, its good for a reef however, im having major issues with water evaporation. This is what it looks like at home. We got...

This is actually a background from my Mac. Im curious what the anemone is, i'd like to have it in my nano cube that sits next to the computer. This way, they'll match :wink:

I know the rock is ridiculously too much but I purchased more rock than i need as i plan to chip and cement the rocks to death until i can create the vision i have in my head. Looking forward to having every inch of rock eventually covered with some kind of coral. The rocks are going to be...

my firefish usually find a hole in the LR . You can never find them. There's been a time when i was aquascaping and actually took some rocks out of the water. They stayed out for a good half an hour. After i put one of them back in the tank, my firefish flew out of it. They'd been hitch...

thanks man i'll give it a go. will let u know how it went. i appreciate it

the ick just sort of went away on its own. i dont understnad

yes the tang is a bit of a concern for me. i plan on finding a new home for him (my friend has got a 130 gallon tank that i feel will be a better home than my 60) its a shame though because i think its an absolutly beautiful fish.

This tank has only been running for about 4 months, however the sand and some of the rocks came from my previous 37 gallon tank. The rocks from my old tank i ended up crushing up and using them as rubble rock in my converted wet/dry filter (bio-balls i say NAY to thee). Some might say im...

This is my first Reef Tank. I got a couple soft and hard corals. I dont have MH's so the stony's are placed way up top underneath the water line. Is this ok? or do i HAVE to get MH 's?

hyposalinity you mean reduce the salinity? there's so many crabs and snails and stuff that i cant ever catch. there's also an anemone, starfish, cucumber, i dont think i cant lower the salinity without dire consequences. whats the cheapest fastest method of setting up a QT. how can i just set...
