    Going Rimless....

    It looks great and very clean. I never understood the trend/fascination with rimless tanks though? They look neat but arent as strong as a braced tank. Whats the practical reason for them? What is a "Nem" ? is that an anemone? That tank really looks good!

    Skimmer Advice

    Need advice on replacing RSM130 glass tank

    At this point I would try a hammer. This will give you two reasons to replace the glass. Unfortunately your glass is etched/stained beyond repair my friend. Most people dont mention this as a serious drawback to glass tanks. Considering the cost of replacement, I would consider...

    Need advice on replacing RSM130 glass tank

    Over time glass can develop a cloudy haze brought about by calcium and lime deposits. This can usually be removed with a product called Lime Away or CLR that does a decent job. Beware, it's toxic to our animals! If you can use it without getting any near the silicone it might do the trick...

    is not using the protien skimmer bad?

    Great question and really depends on the bio load of your system. I believe in them but many do fine without them. Check out the You Tube videos by Leng Sy regarding the eco system method. They should answer your questions about the necessity of foam fractionation (skimmers) LOL. Hope this...

    How difficult is it to create designer clownfish?

    Im not really sure I do unless a decent profit could be made. Just at the information gathering stage now. When I see the prices that breeders are charging for them (very expensive) it translates to an under developed market with opportunity to breed and sell for much less. Supply and demand...

    How difficult is it to create designer clownfish?

    "Do you have a ready source of radioactive material to spur mutation? lol... sorry, just joking of course. " Probably myself, :snshne: LOL, funny you should ask. I soaked up enough of it when I was living in Japan closeby Fukushima in 2011. Operation Tomadachi disaster relief. GSE or GSM?

    Skimmer Advice

    I need some skimmer advice for a tank Im building around 2000gallons. Considering the simplicity of a skimmer and the cost for most MFGs want for an industrial sized unit to support a reef tank of this size Im contemplating using 2 smaller skimmers instead of one giant one. What would be the...
