    Bro, I wish there was, because I fell in love with it when I first saw it online. Then I researched it and found a thread where they make fun of it and call it the Death Star from Star Wars. It's huge as big as a softball, let me find the thread so you can read it, you will laugh at the...

    Epoxy

    Sadie, Here is what my LFS recommended to me, the stuff works so well that when I flew down to visit Dragon79 I glued many of his frags with this stuff. I think you'll find this stuff really good for zoas since I used it on my award winning pico and never had problems. Mike

    Epoxy

    I have used epoxy many time on fastening plastic pieces on both my cubes with great success. I even used the waterproof epoxy for my ICA unit when it came apart, stuff worked like a champ. It's no different than superglue just a tad stronger in my opinion. Whats wrong with just using...

    New Setup - NC6

    Dragon, Show him your fuge light, he's trying to take apart a really nice coralife when he can get the piece he wants for 10 bucks. Keep that light for a future fuge when you upgrade to a bigger tank, I did and use it all the time on my 20 gallon sump. Mike

    Help Reefers, Like the title says, I did an impulse purchase at my LFS. Don't you guys hate it when you go for one particular fish and it's not there and they tell you come back on Tuesday for the next shipment. Then you walk around the shop and you see nothing you really want but don't...

    Yesterday night was when I placed red slime remover into my tank; skimmer and carbon are out. If you try running the skimmer while dosing you will pull it right out, in fact everyone says be careful when you turn it back on because it will overfill completely. You need to check it every...

    Hi John, Wow, so your friend lost her corals to bleaching using this stuff, that is darn scary to me. Can you be so inclined to throwing me a thread or two on such a disaster with this product? I have read much more negative effects with chemi-clean than red slime remover that is why I...

    Hey Reefers, My tank has been going through a red slime attack. I know that my tank is still very immature; but all culprits of over feeding, excess phosphate and high nitrate are under control, yet I still have this attack. I researched chemi-clean and red slime remover and went ahead...
