    DBTC: Indo Gold torch

    Let me know when you would like to meet up. The sooner the better. The Torch started closing up the beginning of the week so hopefully you can bring it back. @popper

    DBTC: Indo Gold torch

    Update on the torch. It was doing great for a while but the tank has been neglected. It currently has 3-5 heads but is connected so can't be fragged. I would like to return it to the DBTC because my tank is not doing well and the torch would probably not survive. I don't know the rules to...

    Mandarin Preparation and Care

    Hi All, My tank has been fishless for the past 2-3 months due to velvet. Corals and invertebrates are doing well during this time. I have also seeded the tank with Apocyclops pods and fed Phytofeaast. I would like to add a Mandarin but not sure if the in-tank pod population will be sufficient...

    Any Python No Spill and Clean System users out there?

    Simple answer is yes. I am currently siphoning from my tank using the python 25 ft+ line attached to the garden faucet connector.

    Not the prettiest, but functional for now.

    The 1/2" acrylic tube is bigger than the 1/4" standard ATO tubing. This would increase the height of the output, and the gap in size would break the suction. I am imagining how to attach the ATO output tube to the 1/2" acrylic tube. It would most likely be inside the tube, how would you connect...

    Aww Man! ATO Siphon. Woke up yesterday morning to a sump filled with water and Salinity drop to 1.022. I have never thought about ATO siphon. I have used the same ATO setup on my previous tank but never experienced this. " I started the Google Search ATO Siphon" Why am I seeing this problem...

    I probably shouldn't call it a short qt process , since it's really not. Basically it is a 2hr bath in Blue Life Rapid Fish QT, followed by 2hrs of observation. I guess I have been pretty lucky with this process until now. I thought the Rapid Fish QT + oversized UV sterilizer would do the...

    Bad News: We purchased our first fish addition to our tank last week. We went through our usual "short QT" process but it failed us this time. The fish we introduced seemed perfectly healthy when visually inspected but after a couple of days it had Marine Velvet and it spread to our other two...

    Not my image; But will probably go with premade ones as they look better than anything I can make. For a torch dominant tank, will these work? I

    Plumbing: What is the best option?

    Thanks Mike. I probably should have asked that question first. I usually have the water line about 1/2 inch lower than the emergency pipe. With the current flow, it is either what you see in the picture or the water halfway down by adjusting the gate valve. If you think that is ok, then I...

    Plumbing: What is the best option?

    This is where it is at now, If i nudge the gate valve to the left, it will drop 50%.

    Plumbing: What is the best option?

    Hard to explain but I can compare it from past experience. On my old red rea 425XL when I turn the gate valve to the right the overflow water level increases when I turn the gate valve to the left the overflow water level decreases. The point is I can turn it either right/left and can...
