    How long can fresh RODI water sit in my tank before I start the system?

    Hey all, So I just put my 150g 5x2x2 tank on the stand! WOO HOO! Exciting! The next step will be doing a water/leak check (couldn't have been done sooner) I will be using RODI water; assuming it doesn't leak I will thereby have my 150g of water and won't have to waste any by emptying and...

    Silicone Jeopardized

    So while doing a wc I noticed that the silicone around the inside joints of my aquarium is slightly curled. Should I be concerned about this? I would appreciate any input guys and gals. Thank you #ReefSquad #Help

    Hello I just bought a month ago from Aquacave. I have them stored in my house. I wanted to have one in stock when I start my tank. I just started my build and when I picked one up I saw a build up on the wood stand. Also the containers look swollen with pressure. I think that is the problem...

    Anyone use compressed towel "disks" or similar absorbent to protect?

    does anyone have experience using compressed towels or a similar absorbing material to contain leaks, or as a way of buying time? Even with leak monitoring, if I get a notice at work (and am ABLE to leave ) it could take easily an hour to be able to get home. I'm setting up as much...

    Salt creep on aquarium base. Has my tank finally come to its end?

    Hi Reefers, My beautiful 75 gallon marine tank is 10 years old but I fear that it is nearing its end. Recently salt creep began to appear above the liner at the bottom of the tank - so I'm wondering whether the seal is starting to go and I should disassemble. (see jpg) Question: is it...
