I replaced the fans and their power supply so that the fixtures are almost...

    Chiller in Window

    Awesome, thanks guys! Placing it fully outside isn't really an option in my current situation. The tank does have fans, and they are controlled by an Apex. I think I do need to add some more fans/airflow. thanks again!

    Chiller in Window

    Hello all I currently have a 180 gallon aquarium in a non air conditioned bedroom. I have a JBJ arctic 1/4 HP chiller, and with it running, the room gets extremely hot. I have a temperature activated window fan, and I was wondering if I set the chiller directly in front of it, so the exhaust...

    Ryans 180 Craigslist Special Build Thread

    Heard from LEDgroupbuy and they found the heatsinks. Apparently they forgot to fix them. In the meantime I tinned all the pads on the LEDs and built the dimmer controller.

    Ryans 180 Craigslist Special Build Thread

    It doesn't really tumble per say. Just kind of moves a little. None of the pieces really change location or anything. But I guess you're saying any rubbing would cause issues? I'll adjust it. Thanks for the advice!

    Help! Toadstool won't shed

    It never shed. I tried rubbing some of the dead skin off, and added a little more flow. But eventually part of the cap started rotting away. I removed the whole thing, as I was thinking of moving away from softies anyways. I'm still confused as to why it went south to begin with. I also had two...

    Help! Toadstool won't shed

    I guess I'll leave it. It's shed several times before, but has never taken nearly this long. I'm not too concerned about the coral, I was just afraid it would foul the water and harm everything else.

    Help! Toadstool won't shed

    I changed tanks over a couple weeks ago and I expected my 1' toadstool to close up and shed. 5 days ago it closed up, but yesterday it still wasn't shedding. I pointed a powerhead at it in case it needed more flow, but today I came home and it's deflated to half it's size with deep wrinkles in...
