It looks like my Oceanic. I never had to source covers, but the name should get you started.

Of course! Some of my favorite tanks have had a "cycle".

How about guppies or another prolific fish?

Do you have a laundry sink? I guess that might be in your garage. Can you keep it indoors, somewhere near the garage door and connect the supply as needed? 1/4" line is cheap.

try the electrical department, or electrical supply house. I would normally just get something like this as a sample at work. Mcmaster Carr would have these too, 69915k54 is an example item number.

looks alot like a liquid tight strain relief. Heyco® Liquid Tight Cordgrips Straight-Thru, PG Hubs For Flexible Cords. For use in clearance or threaded holes.

I took this idea and ran with it. Instead of using furnace filters I used 100% polyester quilt batting. 1 piece covered the entire inside of the milk crate, no seams. Also I used the small, grape sized lava rock. It works nice for me since I have an old plastic laundry sink as a skimmer...

I have a snowflake eel. So I will try to answer your questions. If you have others please ask. It's around 4 years old and over 24". It dosen't see very well, so it hunts by smell. I feed it shrimp, and I fear that your shrimp will be the first to be eaten. As soon as its mouth is...

I use an old one on my pond. It can clear thick algae from 800 gallons in 4 days. Since it is old, I have to hold down the push button switch for a few seconds to get it to light. I use it in freshwater since the algae is suspended in the water. In saltwater I notice that algae tends to...

Looks like a good design to me (its almost exactly what I built :D ). I used 3/16" acrylic for the baffles and aquarium safe silicone to secure them. The only problem that I have, and would try to find a solution for is that the last baffle at the return pump bulges under pressure when I let...

It sounds like you got it together though. That all that matters. I'll bet that it looks better than you think. A refugium won't be seen without a close look. All it takes is to build on your experience for projects to work out.

Congratulations on a new house. I know that you want to put the tank in the den, but what I would do is put the tank where there the a low wall is shown next to the powder room. You could replace the wall with a built in type tank stand. The Ro unit could be installed into the vanity. The...

I have no experience with this or any controller, but here is my .02. I don't know how you have run the wires, but I would suggest an arrangement where the MH wiring is on one side of the tank, and the Aquacontroller's wiring on the other. This may reduce any RF interference. Any long...

Back before I converted my 70 gal over to salt, I kept a large oscar with some other fish similar to what Fishlover14 suggests. I had the oscar, and a large pleco with 3 ADULT tinfoil barbs. Also, I had what could be described as a colony of "Texas convict cichlids". About 3 breeding pairs...

Since It's a new fish, it may need to get learn that the dried seaweed is food. Mine will eat a strip of Nori in under 30 seconds, everytime I feed it(3-4x daily). I wouldn't worry about the brine shrimp though. I will also occasionally hold a shrimp tail between my fingers for it to pick...

Certain grades of stainless can rust. But it sounds more like you may have had clamps with stainless bands and plain steel screws. The marine grade parts suggested above are completely stainless, and will be highly rust resistant. I found this link to a stainless faq...

Try this link: http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/NNPDFF?PMPAGE=2686 It looks like you should find what you are looking for there. I have never ordered from there so I cant speak for shipping, but the prices seem to be much lower for a given length.

Thanks for the heads-up, I bought one today. It was a Tetra kit. The same as the 4 year old set I have been using. The fresh chemicals should make for more accurate results.

Roger, I have seen these stock tanks at the Bourbonnais Il, Farm and Fleet. It was about year ago, but they carried several sizes from ~$50 to $300.

I used an old king sized, foam mattress topper, cut up to fit without bunching.

I have been following this forum for a short while. I just had to sign up to report that I found and bought 5 bags at the new Home Depot in Elk Grove,Illinois. They had almost a full pallet when I left today 4-27
