  1. Came home to a leaking tank

    I tried that but no luck. I love how cool he looks with the clear tentacles but I think he is going in the for sale section this weekend. He just does too much damage. He mowed down my clove polyps and chewed a hole in the middle of the small piece of gsp I have.
  2. Came home to a leaking tank

    Everything looks good. My feather duster is growing it's feathers back. Now if I could just get my tuxedo urchin from picking him up and dragging him around the tank. Here is a photo of the feather duster Here is a gallery of new photos I took of the new tank. Gallery from my tank
  3. Dishwasher with RO unit help

    I know you did not ask but my advice is to look at another standard dishwasher. When we moved into our house there was one that was less than 5 years old. In less than a year it broke and we replaced it. My inlaws are also in the kitchen and bath business and sell appliances and they say that...
  4. Came home to a leaking tank

    Bought some pods from LFS yesterday and transferred the fish from QT back to the main tank. Everything is looking good. My feather duster is still alive and I saw him poking out of his tube a little last night without his crown. Coral looks great and I actually like my aquascaping a lot more...
  5. Came home to a leaking tank

    So far so good, ammonia and nitrate are barely reading on my API test kit, PH is good. All coral are doing well and fully extend, the only thing that happened is my feather duster dropped it's crown. I left the tube in to see if it will regrow the crown, but because of the angle that the tube...
  6. Came home to a leaking tank

    As for the skimmer, it is a Reef Octopus BH-1000, it looks like if you let the collection cup fill up it would just pour back down the hole the bubbles flow up and out the other side. Maybe once I do add it back and turn it on I will run it way low and really wet to see what happens when it...
  7. Came home to a leaking tank

    I had half a bottle of Biospira that I just added.
  8. Came home to a leaking tank

    I forgot to add that this was part of the plan. I will stop at my LFS today and buy some.
  9. Came home to a leaking tank

    Definitely the tank. It is my 1st skimmer but I purposely left the cup up high so that there was almost nothing being collected because I did now want an overflow and the skimmer body and pipes were dry. There was maybe a 1/4" of liquid in the skimmer cup and I think that was from when I had...
  10. Came home to a leaking tank

    Just check on the tank and corals looking good under moonlights. Everything is opened up except for some gsp I added this past weekend and a few zoas on one rock. Duncans, acan, micromussa, zoas and leather all look good. Inverts look good too, small tuxedo urchin, small linkia starfish and...
  11. Came home to a leaking tank

    Went right from work to dinner with my inlaws. When we got home at 8:15pm we found our 37 gallon reef tank down about 4 inches of water and water all over the floor. I drained 10 gallons into my qt tank and put the fish in there, 2 ocellaris and a mandarin. I drained another 10 gallons into a...
  12. Off-topic - Can I store gas for Generator in 5 gallon salt bucket

    If you have a newer car, some of them have a device in the filler tube for the gas tank that blocks you from putting a siphon hose down into the tank so I would test that before you plan on using that as an alternative to multiple cans. The other alternative is that there is very rarely here in...
  13. Anyone believe in ghosts?

    I don't believe...but I tend to not be a believer myself but for about 6 years I was single and shared a house with two friends that was built in the 1880s-1890s and was owned by one of the roommates whose family had owned it since it was built. We would constantly have strange things happen...
