I have a frag. $20. 312-623-4011

Weld on 4 is thinner than water. When you clean the seam and clamp it together, you use a syringe applicator to shoot it into the tiny gap and it spreads by itself between the pieces. You can watch videos on YouTube. The weld on 16 is the consistency of super glue gel. You just run a bead of it...

You can always try to reglue the seam with weld-on 4 and a syringe: https://www.amazon.com/Weld-Acrylic-Adhesive-Applicator-Bottle/dp/B0096TWKCW It's likely that the seam has salt/particles now, but you can rinse it out, dry it, clamp it, apply the weld-on 4, then put a bead of weld on 16 on...

Majanos. Take the rocks out one by one and inject the foot of each anemone with a little hydrochloric acid using an insulin syringe. Wait 10-20 seconds (or just work in patches) and remove intact with a dental pick. If you break the tissue apart each piece will land in your tank and become a new...

Caulk the seams and then slap two coats of gloss polyurathane on it. Just remember that this only protects the shelf from water damage and is only effective when small amounts of water spill out. If water comes out of the stand and gets underneath, it is likely that the floor beneath the stand...

I have a good hang-on-back skimmer you could use. Check out my recent for sale thread: https://www.chicagoreefs.com/threads/equipment-for-sale.39501/

If you have the space you can very carefully clamp the sides together with a few of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-24-in-300-lbs-Trigger-Clamp-with-3-75-in-Throat-Depth-DWHT83194/204987961 I would drain as much water from the tank as possible before clamping and ratchet the clamps...

30g and stick to easy coral like leathers, polyps and frogspawn and you should be ok

It's safe, but if you only need 30 gallons you can pick up a 32 gallon Brute can at any Home Depot for half the price and no shipping

Hey can you put names to the pics? I'd like to know what those are.

(Length x width x height in inches) / 231 = volume in gallons (not including glass thickness, overflow boxes, and head space). So (72 x 30 x 26.3) / 231 = 245.9

I'm a fan of the chevron tang. A healthy adult looks awesome.

Why waste a Vortech to mix water? None of the features are going to be of use. I would just get a cheap regular submersible pump for mixing.

That's when you whip out the rusty old Chinese fixture you had before and throw it on the tank
