Does anyone have a good link or helpful advice to painting the back of a tank...I tried searching but am not coming up with anything because the word "paint" is in alot of threads!

I figured I'd post a few pics of my 120 tank project. I just cut two holes and did the plumbing for overflow. I have all the pieces of plexiglass cut for the overflow boxes to be mounted on the tank as well...My first glass drilling!Plumbing a fish tank...been waiting a while to say that!

I got my 2 3/8in. glass bit from glass-holes.com to drill my 120. The first cut seemed to cut through very fast. the second cut seemed to take about twice as long. I'm assuming wear on the hole-saw is pretty severe? Either way, I have two big holes in my project tank! We're two weeks away from...

A couple questions for some of the people who've done this before...I tried the search but was not finding the basics...I'll be posting a build for idiots when I get all my parts! I'm running a 55gal with two hang on back filters right now that suck...got some polyps, frogspawn, sun coral and...

I was asking questions about this month ago but the new tank (120gal, 4ftx2ftx2ft) is going up at the end of July - if the deal on the house we're buying goes through. So I have to do this build I've been planning. I cut the pieces of plexiglass (free) up and mocked them up in the tank and...

As the subject implies...trying to save some gas driving around looking for the stuff. Trying to increase my light penetration and getting rid of my glass covers. Where can I buy the egg crate material I see all over. Is it covers for florescent lights?

We have a few little white starfish (about 1/4 inch (6mm)) in the tank. I asked our pet store guy about in MO before we moved about them and he said they can get bad but I don't remember what they do. I just counted six of them, is this something that will mess with coral? Any thoughts are...

Are peppermint shrimp any more sensitive to water parameters than any other critter. I had someone tell me today that I should spend 1.5 hrs dripping them because they're very pH sensitive...Not gunna mention a store cuz its just one person at a store - The peppermint shrimp seem to doing fine...

I've got two things in my tank I'd like some input on...and this is the first time i've put pics on here from an external source. 1. I found this little guy tody during a water change...kinda cool lookin, looks like a little anemone. about the size of a dime. It was on the bottom of a rock with...

Can you use the clear silicone in the paint/caulk section of any home improvement store for building dividers in the sump? If not who's got the best prices on that kinda stuff?

Will plexiglass (like they sell at any home improvement store) work for sump baffles/dividers and overflows? Or will it degrade over time?

I've had my 55gal fish and recovering reef tank up for the last 7 months after moving...wasn't really paying attention to temperature too much but since it started getting cold here I noticed the temp was down to 70F. Fish seem fine, I threw another heater in there but it is small and I didn't...

This is a two part post: 1. I was wondering if there were any ChicagoReefers up by McHenry who would be interested in drilling my 120tall for a small fee...I've read alot about it but I'm paranoid about doing it the first time. 2. Any drilling advice or horror stories would be great...

Great store...first time visit today. They are having an 18% off sale to celebrate Blake's birthday. Lots of frags! Really wanted to buy a bunch of stuff but the credit card already needs to be paid off! Lots of cool stuff there - can't wait to go back!

We've had a hair algae problem since moving the tank six months ago. Our sea hare (Shrek) was doing a fine job of mowing but last night he decided he couldn't take it anymore and stuck his head in a power intake. I woke up a really nasty sight of the body hanging out with a bunch of poop and a...

Looks like this site has a lot of good info on it... Moved back to the area after being gone since 1999, I grew up in Oswego. I miss having an awesome fish store right around the corner from my house in Columbia, MO! (Noah's Pets). My wife got me into saltwater stuff about three years ago and...
