Just getting into the hobby, brought a beautiful second hand 300 litre aquarium.
When transported the corner was chipped off, front of the tank. The silicon layer in the tank Is intact and it holds water as far as I can tell. Is this usable or reparable?
Thanks all!
Cleaned a recently purchased used tank and found these scuff marks.
I have never seen a scratch that looks like this as it almost appears to be a build up of some sort but I’m leaning towards it being a scuff right now.
Does not seem to be a crack as it’s on a single side (internal) and is...
Hello dear Community
I wanted to start up the aquarium today and rinsed it with osmosis water, but unfortunately the edge of the aquarium bumped against the bathtub. A crack has formed (See Pictures.. (third pic from the downside))
... now my question... the aquarium still seems to be...
Hello dear community,
I have recently purchased a used Red Sea Nano Max aquarium. Unfortunately, I am having difficulties cleaning the glass. (see photo) I can't get the stains on the top of the aquarium out. What I have already tried:
Lemon with vinegar and salt
And then water with baking...
These little guys invaded my tank out of no where I’m not entirely sure what they are I think some type of worm I don’t know what to use to kill them please help
Small fun tank that I wanted to put together and test some stuff out. Floating scape, 23k gold leaf logo with custom glass etching. Thinking of what to do next before I fill it up and pack it full of coral.
Ps. Light dead. Will be replaced with something else
Hey guys this will be my first post here and I’m really kinda sad it’s on these terms. I picked up a brand new 180gallon tank today and on my way home I’m assuming a rock or something kicked up and chipped a corner. Let me know if you guys think it’s okay or if I’m really **** out of luck. The...
Hello fellow reefers,
I've got a question about my Waterbox Peninsula 25!
For a while I've had this very cheap light on it. However, I have a RedSea Reefled50 plus mount lying here, which I want to mount on it as an upgrade.
However, reading into the mount itself, it does state that the...
Hi, I am comparing the Nuvo 40 long and the 50 lagoon and cannot decide. I read one bad review regarding the Nuvo 50’s build quality and was wondering if this is something to be concerned about? I’m mostly worried about the quality of the seams and water leaks, not so much the pump failing. I...
Just made a really stupid mistake when setting up my brand new IM 170. I added a Maxspect Gyre and now want to change is location, but I cannot get the outside magnet off of the glass because I removed the plastic over the adhesive! This adhesive is no joke!
Who knows how to get this thing off...
Hey Guys,
Currently want to start building aquariums and want to start off with an all-in-one 36x24x21.
The biggest issue has been sourcing glass to make this happen, does anyone have any tips on finding a glass supplier in the US?
I am currently in Central Florida. Any tips or contacts...
70 9/16" x 29" x 1/2" thick, tempered low-iron(starphire) glass. Was cut too long by the glass manufacturer and unusable for my build. $300 pick up in St. John, IN 46373.
Good afternoon all!
I was set to meet up with a buyer from FB marketplace to purchase his reef setup Fluval flex 32.5 gallon aquarium. Included in this kit was the tank, stand, Fluval 1 ps1 protein skimmer, Fluval p2 auto feeder, heater, power head and Green Killing Machine in Tank UV...
IN FORT LAUDERDALE 3/4" glass, front low iron, 48x24x22 high. Drain holes were for shadow overflow, but were drilled to high. They'd need to be capped or worked with. It's braced along the top. Must be picked up, no delivery.
*THe streaks in the pic on bottom of tank is the reflection of the...
I just picked up a 100g tank second hand for a price I couldn't refuse. The tank is in great shape but after cleaning it up a bit I noticed a small clamshell shaped chip on the bottom glass of the tank on in the inside just above the seam. There is a small hairline crack going through it. Is it...
Hello ... well, I knocked the top portion of my Red Sea Reefer 170 and voila ... I took a chunk out of the glass. Lord give me strength .... At any rate, thoughts as to the remaining structural integrity of the tank would be greatly appreciated. As well, any ideas on how to approach a fix both...
Hello,
This is my glass after only 24 hours. I have needed to clean it everyday. You can see where my turbo snails are helping. What can I do to keep the glass clean longer or what is happening here? Fish and coral seem happy. All parameters are in normal range except Nitrates are around...
What can I do? Can I do something? No idea where this scratch came from, its on the inside. But its super noticeable. No livestock just bacteria. I'm absolutely FUMING! This tank is less than a month old. It's hard to see but dead center. It's there. About 4 inches long.
Tank is glass
Hi everyone,
Does anyone run successfully a glass covered tank, using clear glass and LED lighting hanging over the glass?
I run a tank with little over 4 foot with 3 Kessil A360X and tank is covered with Opti white glass. I have a few SPS but growth is not optimal. I was wondering if this...
So I have a bunch of very light surface scratches on a glass tank. I've been looking around and it seems that a cerium oxide and water mixture is the best option for removing the scratches. However I tried it and since the scratches are on a vertical surface, it did not work too well, the cerium...
Hello fellow saltines,
I don't seem to have a problem with algae in my tank but this hard, green stuff has started appearing on my glass. I'm assuming it's algae. I tried scraping it off with an old credit card but it's really stuck on. Do I need something with a sharper edge? Is there another...
So in a previous discussion, I was told that sometimes leaving your glass alone rather than constantly cleaning it will clear it up.
It did not work for me at first so I went back to cleaning daily, sometimes twice a day.
this past week or so I have been busy with college finals, my birthday...
