  1. Clowns got ich, tips with hyposalinity

    I set it up yesterday, put them in today. They certainly seemed stress out from the catching. I did it at night when I know there real drowsy. One of the clowns literally swam right into my hands, the other was much more aware and took hella lot longer. And nearly as long but ten times more...
  2. Clowns got ich, tips with hyposalinity

    Hey topmav1 I see your having problems with ichs as well from your posts. How is it doing? I'm planning a 10 gallon hospital tank as well with 7 gallons of new water and 3 from my display. I'll try to find a sponge to start the colonization of bacteria to put into the hospital as well. How is it...
  3. Clowns got ich, tips with hyposalinity

    Thanks for the link. Its a good thing I have a refractometer for this, the low salinity level seems insane. I might bring my refractometer to my engineering lab to have it calibrated. I read somewhere to use a power filter with a bio-wheel. I thought that was a no-no in saltwater unless its ok...
  4. Clowns got ich, tips with hyposalinity

    One of my clowns got ich and I'm setting up a separate tank for the hyposalinity treatment. I was wondering would it be advisable to treat all my fishes? My other clown doesn't show any ich symptoms and my yellow watchman doesn't either. But I'd like to try to eradicate this damned parasite from...

  7. metal halide setup 250 watt

    hey guys, well my tank crashed, I think its because a frikkin staple fell in the tank and rusted or something(tried my hardest to find it) Any way, I guess I'm leaving this hobby for sometime now because it was really costly this 30gallon tank for 1 year. So I'm selling bunch of random stuff...

  9. Circle Cutting Question

    it works pretty good. I used my rotozip instead. However, rotozip has some serious rough cutting. Random jagged edge. I would try my zigsaw next time. thanks
  10. Securing PVC to acrylic tube

    I've drilled a hole on the side of a acrylic tube for PVC tubing to exit out. The outtake of my skimmer. I was wondering if there are ways to secure the PVC piping to the acrylic tube strongly. The last attempt, I only silconed the PVC pipe to the acrylic tube but that was very weak. Any...
  11. airline hose bulkhead and rubber sheeting

    i was wondering is there something like a bulkhead for airline hosing size? Its for my skimmer, and some airstones will drive it. I want the airline hosing to go through the flange. I want it so I can disconnect the airlines whenever I like. Also, does Home Depot sell rubber sheeting? Its for...
  12. Home Depot Acrylic

    hey thanks for the advice I woulda not been very happy if a sump I made broke lol. The acrylic I want to buy is for nothing big. Its for a small overflow box and pieces for my DIY skimmer. But reallyu thanks for the tip. I just want acrylic thats cell cast because I heard they prefer to chip...
  13. Home Depot Acrylic

    not at all for show tank or a sump. This is mainly for an overflow box and base and flanges for a skimmer. I kind of prefer Cell cast acrylic because extruded is a little annoying to deal with when cutting. Extruded tends to gum up while cutting and sometimes it gums up and seal the cut I just...
