Gman and Richard are right. After you messed with the sandbed did you notice a "rotten egg" smell? If not, that is good as hydrogen sulfide is extremely toxic to your tank (high doses are bad for us as well). If you did smell you need to do major water changes, test a lot and run carbon. I...

Hey Pete, I actually ran my Mg up to around 2200 one time trying to fight that damn scourge red hair algae I had at one time. I don't remember if I use the Kent product, Brightwell Aqautics product or if I used Epsom salts, but regardless, I never noticed any of my hard corals or snails seeming to g...

Hey Russ, I have ones that I can frag, just not really the Acros. I've got birds nest and Pocilipora that I can frag however.

I've been lucky in that my tank evaporates the 4 gallons of my ATO about every 6 days regardless of the season. I know I will have to go to a Ca reactor when I get the 135 up and running, but until then I am pretty happy.

Hey Chris. I run kalk in my ATO. I have been for over three years. My ATO bucket holds 4 gallons or so, so I mix 5 gallons of RO/DI water with a heaping 1/3 cup of Mrs. Wage's Pickling Lime and stir it well. I let is sit (covered) for at least 24 hours. After it settles and is crystal clear, I sipho...

Additives! Additives! Additives! LOL!

Yes, zinc chromate is the primer to use on aluminum. Before you spray it Pete, wipe it all down with either denatured alcohol or acetone. This will remove any grease and or residue on the metal and will allow the primer to stick MUCH better. Once it's dry and you are happy with the coverage, paint a...

I'm down with the supplements as well. Fuel or any of the goodies on the right side of the shelves!

Hey Tim, yeah, I just got it. 11 will be fine. Email me your address. What do you estimate it weighs? I may need to bring a trailer then.

Hey Tim, I'm assuming the tank is 6 feet long correct? I also assume that you and I can just slide it into the back of my SUV. Just let me know what time and where if you want to meet Saturday.

Think we could do this Pete!?!? Brandi has already threatened me with my life! Then I screwed up and told her about Donna and Stefan's 450 blowout!

@fire905safety, did you shoot me any pics by chance?

Okay thanks.

I meant where is the LEAK , not where you live--although that would come up eventually!

Where is the leak and is it drilled?
