    Flooding of back side of an AIO

    Eh. Most AIO are basically a partition built inside of a level tank. So, water is going to level out regardless Whether the media chamber outlet is at the bottom of the tank or the top, it is only going to allow itself to level. Siphon occurs because of gravity first, and relative pressure...

    My Mandarin gobies are mating!

    That's a good idea. I'm going to possibly setup a love shack for them and test it with my problem damsel, and if it works i will transfer them over.

    24g Nano Cube Lightning Reccomendation

    Hydras are a phenomenal buy for a cube. They not only fill the entire color spectrum on a single puck, but maintenance wise, they are designed to be switched out at the end of their life with another puck, brand new. Their value is pretty stellar for a high end light. *edit ai PRIME. same light...

    My Mandarin gobies are mating!

    I'll turkey baste the eggs to the refugium if i manage to catch them actually fork, but i only got her the boy toy so that she wouldn't be so swole. If i can make a breeding tank for them this weekend, i might plumb it to the tank and get them in there, but I'm not going to go far out of my way.

    My Mandarin gobies are mating!

    Well, they are trying to, anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fv_5qK4oHg Last night after i had already gone to bed, i got up to get something to drink from the kitchen, when my wife was just staring at the tank. "i think they're mating." Sure enough, they were doing the dance. Trying...

    Having Homedepot cut plywood down to size

    That's not sure true. They can mark the board and know exactly what they're doing. In most cases, the plywood saws are setup with a 1/16" blade. Some are a 1/8 or a 3/16. Here is the best way to get it done: mark the wood yourself, and ask them to notch it with the saw on both the rip and...

    DIY hole saw

    Steady water is not necessary, just a standing pool with the plumbers putty. Cold water will cause stress fracture

    I neglected my tank and it's probably unrecoverable at this point (at least by me)

    I've gone through those. After my last move, i was really put thriugh the ringer. It took me about 4 months to identify an the issues, and another 3 to take everything thriugh its of steps of remediation. I wanted to throw in the towel twice, but i knew it wasn't worth doing. Sticking with it...

    How much do YOU know about nano-reefing? Saltwater vets, need your help!

    For what you want to do, the easiest tank to do just about everything comes in the jbj 28g intermediate and advanced. Plenty of individuals have learned on them just about everything that is needed to learn outside of basic sump development, and aside from a skimmer, heater, and possibly a...

    second floor apartment + reef tank

    Is that window looking out over a standing patio? If so, is it's relief held up by a column? If so, that is a very good sign. You might want to lift up the carpet and tap on the floor to find the joissts and mark the wsll with painters tape where they are located, and then rest the tank across...
