I have realized maintaining a 75g reef tank with “people and roombas” is beyond my ability to keep aesthetic for several reasons. I also hate having the tank just sit there getting more overgrown with neglect. I do have a dry 29 Biocube ready and waiting to receive gifts from it’s mother tank...

Just read my tag line for the first time in years... oops! ��

So over a year ago I purchased a 210 gallon with a 40 gallon sump for ultra cheap (less than $400!) for first home. Used scratched, etc. but great price with the sump pump for return and a bunch of live rock, even with wagon wheels on some rock. Learned a LOT! So feel was with the investment...

Apparently we hide? We have three lfs if you don’t count Petco or Petsmart, but they can be good depending on who is in charge of the fish area, hit or miss, check the tanks carefully (even the freshwater) and you’ll get a good idea if it is worth the risk. Have two small LFS that both are...

Does anyone want to start club? I am in Anchorages.

The purple thingy tube can be removed from either side, so I guess it could be a thru-flow type thing. The originating household had both salt and fresh water tanks. The salt tanks had corals and anemomes (sp)... so no clue. How would one go about hooking up this equipment? What would be the...

yep little beads and I can't tell you more since the ends are on so tight I am afraid I would break it to get it open.

melosu58 - how would you use it? do you have a brand name that might be similar? what would you need to know more?

I received some free stuff from a woman whose man (who was the fish guy) left her.... We did not even know if some of the stuff related to the fish field but what the heck... it was free. Please help me identify what these are and how to use them!

How long does it take for the super glue to cure? Is there a preferred brand? Any craft superglue or a what? I may end up arranging the rocks with living fish already in the tank and don't want to have a bad chemical reaction and kill the fishies.

I am going to be getting a 55 gallon tank very soon and will be moving everyone-thing from a 29 gallon. Many of my live rocks are small, even to rubble size, and I would like to put them together to make more interesting arrangements. I would prefer a product that will cure underwater with the...

Figured it out :oops: :oops: After months of trying to figure it out... it turned out to be the new humidifier that was causing the problem. We finally had a long stretch of humid weather and so we did not have it on and the hubby noticed no white dust. So it was not a tank issue at all...

I am looking into getting a used tank from craigslist. Most have the wood grain plastic edging, I would prefer black due to decor. What paint would be suggested to paint the outside edges black for a salt water tank?

Interesting. This is definitely different than the salt creep I get on the tank. Very very fine dust, microfine even. Due to an unfortunate flooring plan our 29" TV is less than 12 inches away from the tank. Both are in a corner of the room. There is no other way to be able to arrange the...

Slightly weird question...javascript:emoticon(':roll:') since I have had my 29 gal as SW I have had a white dust over the living room furniture and electronics. I live near dirt roads and Alaska is famous for our dust. Glaciers leave behind a super fine dust we call silt. Anchorage is...
