Besides copper, you would also need to test for ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. Invest in a good test kit or your lfs can test this for you. If you dont want to wait for too long, then you can buy some more live rock (really live) and mix it up with the dead rock that you have now. You can also...

I spent all day today trying to setup a Korallin Kalk Reactor. It was one painful affair >:( Anyway, one of the hurdles I faced is that there was no bubbles in the bubble chamber. Upon closely investigating I found out that the brass valve appears to be closed. That is, there is no hole in the...

Re: Ricwilli's 210 build One more vote for plan #2. Why is the water change line is tied to three places in the sump and from the frag tank? any specific reason?

Well, no one told me about the "re"newbie thing. If I knew before I would have participated in the raffles. :( Anyway, great meeting it was. Thanks Herbie for having us. Also the presentation on Solar energy was quite informative. Thanks for organizing it.

These are some of the theories: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=15049 http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=17926 http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=2788...

I used a credit card and it works quite good as well.

On second thoughts, Can I just use a 1" pipe for the drain? The sequence dart inlet is 1.5" inches. So either I increase right outside the tank or closer to the pump. Then the dart sends it to the four 1" returns. Would this be a problem?

Ok, another Booboo. I got my 180g drilled for closed loop. The drain need to fit 1.5" pvc pipe since a Sequence Dart is going to run the oceans motions. However the hole that is made can fit only a 1" pvc. This hole needs to be made bigger. Can someone help me with this? Since the tank is big...

it is a 180g tank. I think I will have to do few rounds of this cleaning while it is empty and then try to do it when the tank is full again...

How do I remove coraline algae from the glass? This is an empty tank. I am using vinegar and using RichT's scraper blade to scrape it off. It come off but takes a long time and some spot are real stubborn. Any ideas??

I managed to borrow couple of trash cans from the neighbors and somehow managed it. Thank you all for offering to lend.

Anyone has a barrel or two to spare? I am looking for 50+ gallons and I live in North Edison. Thanks! Arvind.

Thank you! that sounds like doable.

Why is everything is so complicated in this hobby? ??? I do need to remove some of the sand from the fuge, since I am planning to use in my new setup. Is there a safe way to remove the sand?

It is an established DSB. If this is an issue, can I remove the DSB and store it away? In a separate container with a powerhead?

There are about six of them. The largest one is about 4-5". The current tank is 72g.

I do have a DSB - pretty big one. Yes, I will probably do a water change first.

I thought about it. But I need to put at least two of them for a 6 ft tank and also their placement in basement might spoil the otherwise open basement.
