    New leather, problem with rock

    You could try using zip ties to hold the rock together temporarily. For a more permanent solution try using a marine epoxy. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=3962&Ntt=epoxy&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1

    Any tips/opinions on lawnmowers? Updated with pictures!

    http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=97712-270-11A-542Q711&lpage=none I purchased this mower from Lowes last spring and like it a lot. It has a really simple choke mechanism, you simply slide the choke lever to the choke position and pull the cord to start it. The...

    how to cut acrylic

    It would be a good idea to radius the corners of the cuts as well. A square corner can create stress risers wich can lead to cracks. A rounded corner helps relieve the stress.

    I checked it out last night after lights out and all of its tentacles were up in a vertical position. I also found a second one tucked a piece of live rock. the second one is much smaller and only about a quarter of inch across.

    upgrading to a 180 ongoing quetions & cost tally

    $250 sounds like a great deal if you are talking about completely framing up the closet including drywall. If it is just for a short load bearing wall I think that it is a bit steep

    Critter Id

    It has been in the same location for at least the last week. I did see something similar to it a long time ago in another area of the tank. But havn't seen it since. I don't know if this is the same organism or a different one. I havn't seen it eat anything. It currently is in an area of...

    Critter Id

    I think that it probably came in with the live rock. If so, I've had it since June or August of 2004. I was looking thru Calfo and Fenner's "Reef Invertebrates" last night and I am wondering if it maybe is some sort of Holothurid (Sea Cucumber) I remember a slug sort of thing that was...

    How effective are T-5 NO fixtures?

    I was doing some research on T-5 lighting the other night and found this ... http://www.esuweb.com/knowledge/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=126&sid=2411858e6a0cef525b12a5e9ddd16176 I don't know it for fact but I'm guessing that CF's are simply T-5's folded in half. I just can't...

    Talk about Irony

    I have been having a bit of a problem with Aptasia. So last night I purchased a few peppermint shrimp from the local pet shop. After acclimating them, I started to add them to my tank. One of them swam down and landed directly in the center of one of the larger apt’s. The Aptasia immediately...

    how do you store your RO water?

    Speaking from experience, the RODI water in my trash will get funky if the water isn't circulated.

    how do you store your RO water?

    I use a large rubbermade trash can with wheels under it. I think that it is a 30 gallon. I keep a powerhead in it running 24-7 to keep the water from going stagnent.

    aqua remora pro breakin

    I have a Remora Pro with a mag 3 as well. I can't really say anything about the breakin period because I bought mine used and it has been producing skimate since day one. I haven't had any problems with microbubbles entering the tank either. As for the noise, you might be out of luck... Mine...

    need fast WORM identification help ( PIC )

    Does it sort of unroll like a sock? If so, it is probably some sort of Sipunculan and it is harmless.

    Just QT'd My New Corals

    In my opinion it is a good idea to QT corals. There are a lot of undesirable organisms that can come with coral frags. Flatworms, Mantis Shrimp, and Cirolanid Isopods to name a few. Also, after Ich falls off its host, it goes thru a stage where it will encapsulate itself in a cyst. These...
