Also, do I need special magnets? I know they needed be strong for the glass but I'm worried if all magnets are all the same (home depot brand) or if I need to buy aquatic ones

I was wondering if it safe to use JB weld in a reef aquarium. Looking to do a cheap DIY magnet mod on my new maxi jet 1200 buy JB welding 3 little but strong magnets in place of the 3 crappy suction cups. If JB weld is not safe was is a strong safe glue/epoxy?

Ok thanks for all the help. Will be going to pick up some sand tomorrow. Was looking at getting CaribSea Aragonite Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand it's size is 1-2 mm is that too big? Or will it be fine.

"dead" meaning not buying the over priced live sand with the Bactria in it already.

Didn't even think about the cc coming up through the sand. I'm gonna try and get most of the cc out. An do you think I could just add 40lb of "dead" sand?

Did not even think about that. And that would stop the huge debris build up in the crushed coral. How many pounds sand do you think I would need for my 90g tank?

I am wanting to change from crushed coral to sand but not to sure how I would really do it. I do not have an extra tank for the fish so they will be in the tank through the whole change. I am gonna try to remove the crushed coral with an old net but not to sure how to add the sand. I know it...

Kinda disappointed that they dont really swim around that much.

Temp is same at top and bottom of the the tank.

We got the damsel a couple months after the clown fish. But I will put another thermometer at the bottom of the tank. Mine right now is at the top

And it's not like they stay in one spot at the top of the tank they move all over but they want swim deeper than 3 inches

Hearers are in the sump only other fish are 1 small damsel a tiny bit smaller than the 2 clown and a scooter Blenny. It's a 90 g tank I'd that amtters

I have 2 clown fish and since the day I got them (6 months ago) they been at the top of the tank. Is there any reason why?

Yeah none of the coraline algae spread. Is there something special I have to do to get it to spread?

I'm getting live rock this weekend for my tank that has been going for a year now. I added live rock before but nothing seemed to happen to my base rock. I'm trying to figure out what to do when I add new live rock now. Tank is 90g and I have about 60 pounds of base rock and 20 pounds of live...
