Trying to catch a purple tang. Anyone have a trap near burke I could burrow. Would really appreciate it. -Andrew

Looking for buckets but will take boxes. Like 1-2. If I can’t find locally I’ll buy online

Does any vendor in the DMV carry this?

Don’t judge me. Bought this at Petco out of all places. Was a bit taken back they had this. Has about 20 polyps. Any idea as to what this is. Anyone have a name for this? Thought it was a good find.

I think I’ll just have to deal with. It amazes me that a tank with glass as thick as this has a water line that’s basically impossible to remove. Salt can do wonders.

Thanks for comments. I tried razor blade. And tank is really clean now. I’m surprised the water line won’t go away. Im sure once water is in the tank you won’t notice much.

Anyone know how to remove a hard water line on an older tank? Glass I have is in great shape but I can’t remove the hard water stain. I tried vinegar and citric acid. Didn’t do much. Was thinking about applying Muriatic acid. Any help would be appreciated.

Any one use Syn-Biotic Sea Salt Mix. I was thinking about using this salt to start new tank and then possibly moving back to TM reef salt mix. Wondering if the Biotic mix is worth it.

Sounds good

Is there anyone that can reseal a rimless tank and make it look unaltered? I’ve never resealed a tank before and want it to be clean.

Just wanted to share. Ran into a reef store in the Wilmington NC. The shop owner had all tanks covered with Viparspectra LED lights. Had about 20 of them and said he hasn’t replaced a single one in years. Corals looked healthy and had great color, LPS and SPS. I just thought that was unique. He did say all the big name brands are all hype and you really are just paying more. Interesting to hear and see this from a store owner.

Anyone have drill bit I can borrow for drilling brute trash cans, for 3/4 size bulk head and online suggest the drill bit be 1.5 (38mm). Could also use a 2 inch or plus whole saw for wood. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Nicrew does have a controller now. $40 on amazon

This is great info! I am amazed in how the market has changed since LED’s came out. I think I will try the Nicrew lights with a 48 inch supplemented blue LED light strip to reduce shadow. I also have had Radions in the past. 2nd generation. Nice lights but honestly not worth the money. If you have made light fixtures before and are handy you will find out it’s not rocket science.

Anyone use the Nicrew 150w LED’s? I do believe the LED prices for something like ecotech Radion is way to much as I have built LED’s in the past. I feel like these guys making and selling lights are like used cars salesman and laughing all the way to the bank. But in saying that the Radions seem to be the best, so people are willing to pay for that. I’m doing a build out for a Redsea G2 425 and came across the Nicrew 150’s. I will have a mixed reef with plenty of SPS in time. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried these and if you are not using Radions what you feel is the best light for good PAR.
