Someone in my house has the brilliant idea of painting the house on a
cold January weekend so we cannot open the house and ventilate it.  My
45 gallon tank will be in a separate room and no paint will be applied
in the room, but the whole inside of the house will be painted.  Is ...

Hi;
Any opinions on the Seaclone 100 for an 80G reef?  The principle seems good
and the price is right.
Thanks,

I think I'm done.  Famous last words, I know.  I added a hob refugium
because I couldn't have the sump/refugium I wanted in the too small
cabinet. I didn't really need it because the mandarin is quite plump,
but in the spirit of not leaving well enough alone, I added it.  I'd

All right I didn't think this was possible.

they together ?

   I have had the fotunate luck of strolling through my fathers garage to
find a 55 gallon Sea Clear acrylic aquarium.  After wiping the drool from my
mouth when I was told I could have it, I began thinking about how to restore
it.

and would be interested in your good expieriences.

I am having some problems maintaining calcium and alkalinity.
Lately I have been testing several times a night, in batches of 3. Three in

In that case, how long the artificial coloration will last?

Hey all,
a few questions about brine shrimp and spinach for a reef tank.
1) I cannot even see the brine shrimp with a magnifying glass, how do I know
they are hatched after 48 hours in water/salt/light/air flow?  I see stuff,
