Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

[joeman]

Hi Biff, tanks looking great!!

Like th eplumbing too - what did Neal use to glue / seal the joints (the purple stuff)?

Just in general I know there are some glues (acrylic glues in particular) that contain nasty chemicals such as arsenic. Do you know of a list of glues / sealants to use / not to use?

Thanks...

sounds like you've got an aggressive fish in there scaring your new ones out... watch out!

joeman pvc glue works just fine. and it dries in minutes. mine was a light blue color but I'm sure its the same stuff

 

[Bifferwine]

Yeah it was just regular old PVC primer and glue.

 

[MikMcgyver]

I use Christys Red Hot pipe glue, dries in a few soconds...no issues

Must be something about gobys today.I found my tiger watchman behind the tank this morning,Looked like he had been there all night.

I bought some pulsing xenia today, HiBye. Just a really small frag though. And on one of my new pieces of live rock that is in the bucket curing, I found three different polyps... Really strange looking polyps, never seen anything like them before. Unfortunately, all three of them are in really weird places in the rock. I moved the rock to my tank so they could get some light, but because of their locations, I am only able to see two of them and there's no way I could get pics of any of them. But all three seem to be different species. Definitely some kind of polyp, not anemone though (thankfully). I'll see if they grow and spread. I already looked at all the usual sites to ID them, with no luck. GETTING HITCH HIKERS IS SO EXCITING!

 

[MikMcgyver]

Do we have a ritual suicide pact going on? Another Waco TX? Stay tuned for more details...

 

[hibye]

[Alexander]

the heavens gate goby cult. at least my yellow clown goby was alive when i got home today. i was scared my only other goby would decide to off himself with all this going on

 

[Bifferwine]

LOL. In other news, my house is starting to smell like ASS from all this live rock curing!

 

[Bifferwine]

Oh god. I thought it smelled like ass BEFORE I moved the rocks around in the buckets! My god, I need to get out of the house... Now.

 

[hibye]

[yote]

redline, my entry was the zoanthid macro shot.

is that pom pom xenia biff? it looks nice. you can never go wrong with xenia. it's cheap, grows good and i get more ooo's and aw's out of people from the xenia then anything else in my tank.
