  3. 90/50 combo system I'm building

    I'm upsizing from my 55, and I thought I was going to get a 150 or so, and it would have a frag area in it. I came across some great deals though, and I ended up with a 90 and a 24x24x20 (50 gal) for a total of $100 and a few frags. I'm building two stands for them that will link together and look like one, and then the 90 will be a reef and the 50 a frag tank.

Could that be what's poisoning my corals?

  5. DIY'ed my way into the ER tonight

    So I'm in the process of building my stands for my 90 and 50 that will come together, and I decided to bring the frame for the 90 into the living room to check level in it's final spot. Turns out I needed to put a little bit of a shim under a corner to keep it from rocking about a sixteenth to an eighth of an inch, so I thought I'd glue it under there before taking it back out to the garage. Well, the gorilla glue had some dried glue in the tip and I just couldn't get it out. So what do I do? ...
