    Weird Creature(s) in Tank

    I recently found one of these worm-like creatures on my tank glass. They have long tentacles and there are hundreds of them in my sand. Can anyone ID it? Are they beneficial? I'd like to think so as they seem to be scourging for food. Thanks, Brent

    Water Clarity

    I'm having some issues with particles in my water and was wondering what people use to rid their DT of this. I have a good sized skimmer, use RO/DI water, use filter floss in my sump baffles. The only thing that I can think of that may have caused this would be the fact that I didn't rinse...

    Chaeto & Macro Clean-up

    I recently picked up some Chaeto and plan on adding some macro algae at some point in the future. As you know, the Chaeto can flake and small bristles can find themselves scattered all over the sump (fuge mainly) and even find their way into the DT. My question is, what CUC will get rid of...

    Brass Fitting on Hose

    I have a hose that runs from my mixing station to topping up my DT. The connection fits from a PVC pipe that is valved off from the mixing station tank. I know that brass is a derivative from copper, but if I am flushing the little that may remain between the valve and the hose, would I be...

    Wood Cuts

    Anyone know where I can buy hard wood, enough to sustain 1500 lbs on top of the face. Also, I need to know somewhere that would cut the wood at an angle. I need a ramp type cut to put underneath my aquarium. Thanks in advance for the info.

My homes foundation below the tank is not level and the water in the tank drains for the most part to the left hand side drain. I had an inclination of this when I set the tank up, but put some...

    Exterior Plumbing Sealant

    I have a couple of slow leaks in my plumbing, is there any kind of exterior sealant that I can buy to stop the leak, or do I need to break it down and use new connections? The connections are leaking over the sump for the most part, but that's just the return line, I haven't tried the drain...

    Drains to Skimmer Question
