That is my think as well on emerald crabs...

Now thats not very nice Homer....My father was born in Latvia. He seems to like it here On my mothers side I have 9 relatives that helped all those American hating Europeans defeat the Nazis when Hitler was going around kicking all of yalls ass's. Four of them died over there by the way. Seems...

I had though about installing it next to the washing machine to fill the washer. Also though about trucking it outside to water the vegetable garden. I will find a use for it and not let it go down the drain.....just because I dont like to waste any resource. I figure when I get back from my...

I would bet the smell going away is because of the carbon.

I have used tap water, didnt go well. Filtered water from the tap, one of those faucet things you buy at the store, wasnt as bad as tap but still had issues. Distilled from the store worked great but is expensive. Ro water from the machines, actually works really well and is cheap and ro/di from...

yes...glued my dam fingers to the rock...I have some in my tank as we speak...5 tiny bubbles on one rock...And of course its a rock I cant really take out...:shock:

I have yet to see the mandarin eat anything except pods. In the store he was taking frozen but my tank was so infested with pods I think he is spoiled now. To be honest it has really concerned me to the point of buying more pods. So far I have added pods twice. I dont know if I should let the...

I got my sump on ebay...

I have to sleep some time...lol I work night shifts and I have my daughter this weekend. Anyway I did a canister filter for a several years on my corner tank, got to be a real pain in the butt taking it apart every week. Towards the end of that tank, started to get... well monthly take apart...

I think the bullet is a better skimmer from what I can tell.

I have a overflow with the same design as the cpr just not the cost. Filtration in our tanks takes on many aspects. On my tank I have the sump/refugium with a skimmer in the first chamber, no socks. In the tank I have the live rock and powerheads. In addition I have a large hob filter that I use...

looking good

To get the tank wet and started on the cycle you need the tank, water (ro/di either purchased or your own filter), salt, live rock, sand, filtration (sump, return pump, power heads, skimmer) and a heater. Once that starts you need lights. After the cycle then you can start adding live stock but...

To be honest the only 100% sure way to get rid of it is to pull the rock and sun bleach it. I have tried pretty much every other solution over the years and that is the only thing that has truly worked.

Welcome to the forum. :Cheers:

I mix it for 24 hours for two reasons. 1 make sure everything is dissolved. 2 while it is mixing I have a heater in the new water, this gives the new water a chance to come up to temp.

Marine depot...

The wheel part of the bio wheel became a nitrate factory. I run a hob filter on my 45 along with a sump refugium underneath. The hob filter is just for carbon, flow and a nice ripple on the top. If you decide to run a hob filter get rid of any of the bio stuff and change the carbon weekly. My...
