I noticed that I'm getting some algae buildup on my acrylic tank already, so Idecide to search what ways are safe to clean it before I do anything stupid. Lead me to Dr. Foster's site where I find mag floats specific to acrylic (good thing I didn't use my existing one, I guess). So Iskim the...

anyone out there have a half circle tank? if so, do you use a mag float to clean the glass? i'm getting sick of using an algea scrubber.. since the tank is rather deep, it always requires going swimming.. and removing the canopy first which is a pain. i'm looking at mag floats but want to make...

I don't like the MJ Mod... Going Old School...w.pics I orderd a few MJ 1200 and (manufacture with held)mods last week and HATE them. There bulky, loud and are absoulty horrible on a wave maker.... I had one fall, cloud the tank, and almost destroy my most prized coral a 14" monti cap...

I tell you, scraping coraline can be the pits when it comes to running a tank. My arm gets all cutup and bruised from the edges of the bracing on the top of the acrylic tank. I've got the Kent scrapers and those things are OK up around the top. But getting down 24" to the bottom of the glass...

I have my 180 acrylic tank. I have a mag float but I do not use it because I don't want to scratch my tank. I usually just use acrylic pads and clean the tank by hand. Well someone is coming over later and I thought well I will just be careful. Well now I know why I didn't want to use it. I have...

Well I decided to get rid of the softie tank and put all the corals in the 75. I thought the 75 would look more "natrual" with a greater veriety of corals in it. Anyhoo I'm selling the 35. I'll list everything seperate, if anyone wants it all make me an offer. All this stuff is ready to go...

Hey guys, Talking to the guy at the LFS today...did you soak your hydrometer before your first use? He says they throw theirs in a tank for a couple of days before using it to let is "soak"? Thoughts? Also, I have a glass tank -- is it possible to scratch it with my MagFloat? I have a few...

Koralia's! They are finishing the final tests on them and should be out within a month. They will be available in all sizes from the nano to the 4. Got the scoop about an hour ago and thought I would pass it on to all of you. I have no idea on the prices yet.

Ok, so I am "allowed" to use my 180 in the living room. We've decided that the living room carpet can be sacrificed :) I've cleaned out the tank, here is a "before" picture. I'll have to reinforce the stand and fix the canopy to open in the front. (stand and canopy I'm going to use aren't in the...

Hey guys I am just looking to find a good deal on a 6-8 gallon nano cube tank. I am hoping to find a good deal so I can set up a tank at my office at work. Thanks a lot. I am planning on making it to the meeting that is coming up. I have wanted to forever, but I never had my tank setup and...

Coraline growth is begining to take off in my tank. Right now it's only growing on the black back of my display (and the rocks of course). I don't mind it being on the back, but I don't want it on the glass, what's the best way to keep it under control?? Thanks

OK, I will admit this is a dumb question, but I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on aquascaping LR against aquarium glass? Currently the back of my LR in my 90gal. "rests" against the rear of the tank. (not sure if I'm being clear about this, but the last 29gal. I had setup had no LR...

Hello all - was taking some new pictures of my 29g today - and since my other 2 tanks have their own threads in the build off - I didn't want this tank to be left out! :) Actually - I just wanted a thread that I could link to in my signature and so that I can keep a thread of all the changes in...
