For absolute emergencies only
The top left corner of my tank is leaking. Ugh. I'm going to have to figure out what I can do about it today. The carpet is wet in the entry way. Update 7:57 pm 7/03/10: Here are the pictures I took this afternoon. I didn't take a picture of wet carpet because you know what that looks and smells like. I removed the wooden column on the left side of my tank as soon as I saw how it was soaked with saltwater. I also checked tank salinity, and it has dropped to ...

Hey Guys, I want to run phosban in a media reactor for my 55 gallon tank. My phosphates are currently somewhere between 0.1 - 0.25 according to my salifert test kit. Would it be ok to add all of the recommended dosage of phosban at once into the reactor or should I add a little at a time (if so how much?). In my tank I have some mushrooms, ricordea, zoanthids, and a chalice frag. Any input would be really appreciated. Thanks, Tory

Thanks to some fellow Reefers I have some used Marco Rock for my tank. I have cleaned off the rock with Muriatic acid, and rinsed and is now sitting in a Rubbermaid tub with salt water from my tank mixing with an old pump and a couple of small pieces of rock from my DT. My question now is to find the best way to seed it and put it in my tank. I will be replacing all of the rock that is currently in my tank with this rock. The best way would be to connect this tub with my current system to allow ...
