I have this posted under my "Members Tanks" thread but wanted to put it here for more exposure. So I was reading about someone who happened to test his rodi storage container and the tds was NOT zero. So I'm thought hmmmm...mine came up in the 50's. Coming out of my unit it is zero and I filled...

So the wife vacuumed the wire from the display unit and it pulled out of the display unit. There is a stub of wire still attached to the unit. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to resolder/fix this. A new unit is $125...

So I have/had an awesome neon candy cane that was always beautifully inflated and healthy. 3 days ago it did not look good and today I see pieces of it just falling off. This is a piece that was part of my tank startup back 2 years ago. This is at least a 20 head piece. I am going to pull it...

Anyone planning on buying from reef cleaners or have an emerald that they absolutely know eats bubble algae? I have not had luck with the last 4-5 I have purchased eating bubble algae...

So I am finally moving forward with my build and started gutting the hood last night for the radion. I was wanting to keep the factory fans in place to have more airflow under the plastic shield. Some reading has shown that there should be enough flow with the radion fan just forcing flow out...

So I am trying to make a sump out of this and want to add a baffle for the skimmer area. Looking for a 8" x 12" piece. The CR500 is made out of what appears to be around 3/16". Just wondering if I can just silicone it in. And if anyone might have a piece they might sell. Hoping to modify...

So I have a permanent QT that is currently empty that I ghost feed every few days. I have the gunk on the bottom that is shown in the pics. What is this?

Anyone have any ideas? There is another pink ball without the spiky things on the other side.

Going to be moving from the 24 gallon nano to a 29 gallon bio. Removal of false back wall and two side trim pieces. Need to clean it up and bring it in to be drilled and overflow added.

So...my plans to upgrade from my 24 gallon nano to a 60 cube have fallen thru. So I went on the hunt for either a 28 gallon nano or 29 gallon biocube which would allow me to maximize the existing footprint and keep my wonderful wife happy! :) Was able to pickup a 29 gallon biocube with stand...

My wife is the photographer and has started practicing with the Avant Porthole. She was really ticked off at how nice Mai's pics are and is determined to get better pics!

So I have decided I am going to buy a unit instead of lugging water. Have been doing a ton of reading and have kind of figured I would go with the Spectrapure. Anyone have input as to which unit? I will have a 60 gallon cube with a sump when all is said and done. I would also probably be...

So...I finally got around to taking apart the hood to get some pics to post. To reiterate my hood has 13 1.3w LED's powered off of one power cord/2 toggle switches. One of the switches operates 11 LED's(the 5 10k and 6 of the 20k) and the other switch operates 2 LED's(20k in the center). At a...

Thought I should share my little experience this weekend…please excuse the language… So…we purchased two Groupon coupons for “Handle with Care” in Lake in the Hills. On Thursday we had our 2011 Honda CR-V detailed inside and outside. When Ranae went to exchange cars leaving our 2012 Jeep...

So I found one of these when cleaning my sump and when looked up it says to remove them as they prey on zoa's...and also saw a couple of tiny 'things' crawling around in my display tank which were too small to identify...my tank is 4 months old...what to do?
