Tang

Tang (6/13)

  1. Thank you all for the advice. I have a RR750xxl. All but 5% of the water was out of the tank when I got home. I used a shop vac and now I have a carpet blower running. From what I can deduce, a siphon started. I may end up out of the hobby for a while after this one. The tank is to heavy to be taking down and putting back up again. On a positive note all of my fish survived.
  2. Well it finally happened to me. I got the call that water is all over the floor. My tank is in my 2nd floor office which is carpeted. Basement is unfinished is the only +.
  3. Thinking of ordering from them. Has anyone had a good or bad experience with fish from them?
  4. I have a 40 breeder that I need to use for a sump. If you have one for sale that would work also. The sump will need to fit the listed equipment. Skimz skimmer Dimension - 8.75" L x 12.5" W x 23.0" H ClariSea SK-5000 (so no filter socks) Footprint - 9" x 10.1 Vectra S2 Footprint - 3.8" L x 6.5" W
  5. Can anyone tell me where I can ge 1/4 inch glass baffles made between Stafford and Springfield?
  6. I am planning to build a stand for a XXL 750. This will be my first build and I would like for it not to be the cause of my divorce in 2 years or so. I mainly used the specs on the redsea factory stand with just a few changes. If there is anything that could/should be fixed please let me know. 3/4 Sanded Plywood (2) 2x6 #8 1 1/2 wood screws
  7. Thanks Lynn. I think all models are the same. Now I have to fix my sketch.
  8. Perhaps a parking lot fragfest is in order.
  9. If anyone out there has a red sea tank and factory stand could you please send me a closeup of the stand from a side view. I am building my own and I am trying to make sure I am not seeing an optical illusion when looking at online pictures. It looks like the front pane does not rest on the stand at all.

  11. I recently lost all my SPS and my guess is the drop to 6.6 dkh while I was on vacation was the reason. Just to be sure I have decided to order another ICP test and that got me thinking. Do we really need to get our water tested by mail? I would like to think there is somewhere in the DMV where we can get water tested without having to wait 2 weeks for results.
  12. I am thinking of switching out my rock for a branch design. Anyone have pictures to share.
  13. I am using the Milwaukee digital refractometer. I calibrate before use. I used a different reagent and still got the same.
  14. Mixed up red sea's sea salt to 1.025. CA came out to 410 (salifert) , but KH came out to 5.6 (hanna). Thinking this was clearly me using a dirty cuvette I swapped out and still got 5.6. I just recently started testing my water prior to changing it and I am glad I did. Is this something that I should expect to experience?
  15. What can I use instead. I am hoping hacksaw isn't my only option.
