    Marbelite base rock?

    I'm currently busy with another little endeavour, and need some base rock/dead rock for that. I was wondering if marbelite would be a suitable cement to use for making base rock, as it should be a lot more inert that normal white cement, creating a rock that does not leech rubbish into your tank...

    Custom tank build cost calculator

    Hi all While having nothing to do when I ran out of cap again (spend less time on MASA) I found a glass thickness calculator that I downloaded a while back to determine the thickness of glass for a custom tank. I modified it a bit, to give total water volume and individual glass pane area. It...

    Spotlight lighting in nano?

    Will a spotlight work in a nano tank? The tank is about 120l capacity, about 40cm deep. Would a single outdoor spotlight/floodlight with a 97% daylight 24W energy saver globe work for lighting? My idea is to setup a reef tank with minimal fish. Cheers Adam

    DSB/sump filter combo design

    Ok, so I think I had a bit of a brain fart, and came up with this idea: The design incorporates a sump with a separate DSB. The top part, water flows in from the DT through some filter floss/sponge for mechanical filtration, into a chamber that houses reactors/protein skimmer/whatever else...

    Nennie in a 1 month old tank??

    So here is the thing. Went to a lfs to get a second opinion on the water in my approx 1 month old tank. The guy asks me what I am planning for the tank. I tell him a FOWLR, and after a year or so, put some SPS or anemones in, making a reef tank. He checks pH, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite...
