    Making tank rimless?

    You won't have any problems...I mean you're under 12 inches of water....Here is a clip from a document from University of Illinois Urbana department of Physics.... "So if you’re right at sea level, the pressure will be 14.7 psi. And for every foot you go underwater, you add another 0.445 psi...

    Making tank rimless?

    It's going to be fine...I had an old AGA 90 that had the rims off when I bought it and I used it for 8 years and it went on to another friend...last I knew it got so scratched up it became a sump.... I mean how many atmospheres do you get from 12 inches of water?

    Oily Layer of Surface

    the sheen is the reason the surface should skim off, like an overflow does....then it goes to the fuge and sump and is dealt with there....bout the only solution with HOB filtration is using a separate surface skimmer like the ones Tom's makes, or make your own...all it really needs to be is a...

    MitchReef's Reef...well the current one at least....

    I went to a friend's house today to perform a rescue. His tank took a turn last week and suddenly he started seeing death and necrosis in mostly his montipora caps and encrusters. His tank has slowly morphed to a fish with a few softies and nems and his nutrients are self-admittedly through the...

    MitchReef's Reef...well the current one at least....

    So I have a sailfin blennie, a blue reef chromis and a MaiTai clownfish in my holding tank. I figure on adding a wrasse, giving them about a week together then introducing them all at once to minimize bullying from the tang....My supplier is having real trouble with the flasher wrasses. He has...

    BLue Tip Acro !!!

    After it encrusts enough to feel stable it will start putting up limbs....If it waits beyond a month or two of encrustation you can take a forcep or something and make little scrapes.

    A Pocket Guide, Marine Fish

    Always think of an animal closed into an environment that is just too small for his happiness....please lean toward putting fish in that are too little for the tank...then they won't be squeezed when they grow....
