I never had a problem with sediment filters, but the carbon ones can have a bit of carbon dust when you first use them, hence "flushing" them.

I generally like to wait a week or so once I get "perfect" readings just to make sure everything stays stable.

All GE Silicone IIs have the bioseal, whether it's labeled as such or not, per GE themselves. There has been a big debate over this on all the dart frog forums, but people have used it there without...

The 1/4" is a real pain to work with without the tool, but 1/2" & up usually aren't a problem, unless you just have weak hands ;)

I generally don't like the spirals. Just by their design, there's so much restrike, and that adds to the heat, and subtracts from the actual light getting into the tank. I guess if you want to...

The smell from the freshly printed book was enough to give me a mild headache while reading. I guess this is understandable though, with...

20g long is a nice tank,and gives enough room for a decent small prop tank. I'm setting up one right now with a 10g sump.

The setup is also cheap enough that it's not a big investment if you...

I'll second that - it works great. I've never used it with SPS though, so can't give you any guarantees there.

The problem with it is that it kills them so well, that if you have a lot of...

I agree, 36" is a nicer height than most stands, imho.


Sadly, I'm 6'6" and for everything to be at eye-level for me, it would have to be a bit taller than just 36" ;)

Porcelain crab. Not a "true" crab, and coral safe.

Emeralds are not 100% reef safe. It generally is luck of the draw whether you get a "good" one or not.

Yeah, I think it would work as long as you had a clean hole. Since there's so little surface area to seal against, you want it as clean of a cut as possible.

If you're asking about salty child 79's tank, it's not a 40g breeder, it's an ADA tank, and comes that way. ADAs are all tempered though, so no drilling anywhere.

Looks good. I just bought a 20L today and drilled it, but ran out of time to do anything more. Constant power outages most of the day didn't help either (freak slush storm). It will have a 10g sump.
