I had a side panel crack in a 75. I removed the panel and cleaned it to bare glass. What I couldn't get to was where the front and back panels attach to the base. That tiny bit of old silicone to new silicone is what sealed the fate. That is why I would suggest the full dissection if you go this...

I agree with PeeJ. If you deide to repair, I would take a razor blade and run it between the panels to remove all of the glass panes. Then you will want to use the razor and remove ALL! of the old silicone. I would build some type of jig or brace to keep it square as you reassemble. Do not miss...

I do know that it is not ok for in-tank or in-sump use. You don't want your tank water circulationg for a long period of time through it. I had a piece of garden hose on the return in a 75 gallon RR. The brass broke down from the inside out. In short order, the fish looked like crap. It took me...

I am shooting a Canon Eos A2E and have a varety of lenses for it. All are Canon Ultrasonics and I have a vertical grip and a fancy Canon flash. The flash is all computerized and syncs with the camera, etc. I am not all that familiar with the equipment as it was an inheritance from my...

Definitely shop around for the LR. There are better prices to be had. I ordered from Reefer Madness. Exceptional customer service and good, large rock IME.

... and try not to play too much mood music and cut back on their alcohol consumption. Did you offer them a smoke when they finished? :roll: Seriously, I would take his as a welcome sign. My snails went nuts after the new halides went up. I had groups of them at all of the highest points in...

Your BTA will settle in where it is comfortable. Apparently, it thinks that the low light/low flow area is good. He will move again if that doesn't suit him. I have two, but fortunately they are comfortable in a good viewing spot. They are growing like mad! Good luck with it and have patience...

I now have mysids out the back end! After lights out, they are everywhere. Larva come around about once a week or so for a couple of nights. The more DT's I use, the more mysid larva out on the second night. I think my poor six line has about eaten himself to death! Always hunting those things...

yep, you gotta deal with it. your rbta will not settle down until it is comfortable with the curent, the light, and everything else. part of owning an anemone. they will move. if he does happen to settle somewhere that you like, you can try offering it a bit of food and that sometimes will...

Give it time. :) You'll be all right!

Maybe I am way off, but hobby shops that cater to RC aircraft sell pure cyanoacrylate in everything from "fast" (thin and watery) to "slow" (thick and gel). Check out http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=cyanoacrylate&FVPROFIL=++ or http://www.hobbytown.com Look for CA glue.

check out the hitch hiker faq at the top of the hitchhiker forum. Aiptasia sp. are a type of anenome that frequently comes in on liverock, or pretty much anything else that you put in the tank. left unchecked, they will replicate like rabbits on ecstasy.

Maybe I'm an idiot for having done this, but I have used an insulin syringe to inject kalk into aiptasia. I have used it in the middle of zoos, on SPS, and anywhere else that I have found them with no ill effects. Just inject it directly into them and if there is any that settles on something...

That's cool. Just wasn't sure of the prognosis. I now need to figure out a way to shield the bulbs from splash. At 100 bucks a pop, I can't afford to replace the bulbs every 2 weeks.

Well, I had a bit of bad luck and sometime yesterday water was splashed up on the mh bulb. I didn't know it, but it had cracked and seperated about an inch. I did notice that nothing in the tank waas extended and just didn't look right. I found the bulb this morning and realized I had been...
