    Hi folks. I have a leak that needs repairing ASAP on my 270 gallon. Does anyone have Weld on 40 locally? This stuff is hard to come by in a pinch. Tried Regal, Aero Shield, Allied, and other acrylic fab shops. No luck. Could order off ebay but I need it by tomorrow. Does anyone happen to have...

    Couple things to fix?

    Hey folks. None of these are large, but if you are looking to make the site flawless. 1) when I sign in at the top of the home page, it redirects me to then sign in again on another. double work basically. 2) I get these message alerts on the bottom of my screen for 97 unread pms (I am not...

    GFCI and Halides

    Calling all electric savvy reefers again. I installed 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits for the new build. I ended up using GFCI protected outlets. I also just picked up 2x 250 watt electronic ballasts for part of my new lighting scheme. Problem is that when I plug the halides into the new circuit...

    Dr. Tims One and Only...my review

    Hello All, Well as some may know, I am in the midst of putting together my 270 gallon reef build. The whole process took a whole lot longer than I originally planned (go figure) and the buyer of my old tank that is currently holding all my livestock will be here in about 2 weeks to come pick it...

    270 Gallon Advance Acrylics Build

    Hey Everyone, I figured it was time for me to start a build thread here and document the process of my new tank build. I have been keeping reef tanks for 8+ years and have always come to forums for inspiration and creative ideas. With that said, I will be probing the community for commentary...

    Electrician needed or some sound advice

    alrighty folks. I went ahead and ordered my new tank today. Very exciting, but I digress, so to the point. With the new tank comes a larger electric load. My 2 current circuits trip all the time and I need an upgrade. I am looking to run 2 NEW 20 amp circuits from the breaker to my fish room...

    Large Tank Plumbing Schematic

    Alrighty folks. I have had enough of the minor floods from one thing or another on my current 180 gallon setup, as it is sitting on carpet (even though I knew better). Anyways, the time has come to tile the fish room. And as most know, when a tank most come down, a larger one must go up. I have...

    A.G.E. Tanks

    Calling All Acrylic DIY'ers

    MARSH, I recently bought a shallow frog tank to plumb into my main system. I have decided to use it as a clam and angler tank. Long story short, I ended up with two anglers and I need to separate them so they dont eat each other! I need a clever way to do this. I currently have egg crate...

    Best Aquarium Tongs?

    Hey everyone, Got a silly question, but need an honest review. Can anybody suggest some really nice aquarium tongs (coral grabber, reacher, etc)? I have bought a few different brands in the past, and they are all terrible! I bought some $25 ones from lowes and they rusted out and broke quickly...
