    Removing Silicone Completely From Sump

    So I decided to put baffles in my sump and did some minor research and was told if the silicone said 100% silicone, I could use it. So I went out and bought some GE 100% Silicone but without looking I bought GE Silicone II Clear Kitchen and Bath Caulk. It said 100% silicone. I was in a hurry to...

    Michael's Rimless 60 Gallon RR System.

    Just wanted to start keeping a diary of the system I am putting together. Going to start filling tomorrow and add sand plus rock. I built the stand and made sure it was level. So far, I am happy with the work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Purple spots on live rock

    Can someone please tell me what the purple spots are on this piece of live rock? It feels like a sponge, but only growing on this rock. Is it ok and if not, what do I need to do to get rid of it? Thanks, Michael Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Michael's 65g Future Reef Tank

    Today I hit the jackpot! I bought a 65 gallon rimless tank (reef ready) with plywood bottom (including plumbing,) plus a 30 gallon sump with a built in overflow and that's not it! A Sunlight Supply LumenMax 3 250w HQI Reflector with the ballast was included. How much you ask for everything? Not...

    Flow rate for 75 gallon

    So the 210 fell through due to a nick in the glass of the tank, so back to the drawing board. I found an excellent deal on a 75 gallon and wondering if a 1600 gph pump was too much for the tank. The dual inflow (drilled) will be 1,600 gph and the dual outtake (drilled) will be 1800 gph with...

    Sand

    Where is the best place to buy 200 lbs. of live sand? I will be using it in my 210 gallon tank. I remember hearing about getting a certain sand from Lowes or Home Depot and seeding it with a bag of live sand. Is that still true?

    Can't update my own post.

    It keeps telling my I don't have permission to reply to my own post in the WTB forum. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I am using Tapatalk. Is it a new change in rules or Tapatalk is not working right? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Adding pH to RO/DI water

    When I start a new tank, I usually add API Proper PH 8.2 Buffer to my tank, but I was reading and someone on another site wrote a while back that if you use RO/DI water, you shouldn't need to. This just confuses me. Should I or should I not add the API Proper PH 8.2 Buffer? I don't want to hurt...

    Fish Identification

    What kind of fish is this? I am trying to keep a log of all fish and corals I have. This fish has little spikes all over his body. Though he looks like he can cause some damage, he has been so tame towards the other fish and corals.

    Cell Phone Numbers Needed

    Over the past few months, I have have either bought or traded with multiple members and have either called or text quite a few to ask for advice. I had to replace my cell phone and accidentally erased your number when pulling everything from one phone to another. Please either text me or send it...

    Dosing

    Is there a post giving the basics of dosing? What to dose? What needs dosing in the tank? When to dose? Why dosing is important? How to test? The reason I ask is because I was given Brightwall Aquatics Magnesium Supplement, Kalk+2 Supplements (Calcium, Magnesium, and Strontium,) and Kent...
