    What does your electric bill look like?!

    Very large house with finished basement maybe 5k sf. Multiple fridges hottub sauna pool and no central AC. I run about high 400s to low 700s at worst in summer. With the collapse of the 300g I am hoping things get cheaper without the heaters/halides and big pumps running.

    Life is hard

    About a 16 inch failed seam on bottom back. You can see little air bubbles when you peel back the trim, so there must of been something that wasn't visible till the failure.

    Life is hard

    Thank you everyone. Yes, another marineland 300dd. The first one had a lower front vertical seam go, and this one had the complete rear go on the bottom. It must of let go before I retired for the night and as luck would have it, I slept in late. I tried to save some Montipora , a bird nest...

    Paul B's thread

    Hey Paul, I think there is a product called "GitRot " or similar for that frame. You use is on boats with a wet transom to stabilize and solidify. Would likely work well for your project.

    tank crash, do you think my live rock is still good

    I would let it dry out for a few weeks, scrub, and then recure it. Wait till there's not nitrates in the water and it smells fresh before reuse.

    I am a meathead

    Rapid tissue necrosis....it's when the flesh peels off the skeleton leaving it white. Watching it happen is like a stomach bug making you wnat to vomit. So far, so good. Just that one green milli. Everything remains open with polyps extended. I smoked out the area, but caught my error...

    I am a meathead

    I was winterizing the boat right next to the basement window, fogging the engine, which if you have done it, it creates lots of putrid exhaust. I had a window, right by the engine, open 2". It filled the fish area with exhaust, so much so that both the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors were...

    SPS woes.

    There are always those odd possibilities...any metals in the tank? hose clamp, dropped something? Was the tank a former freshwater tank?? What about stray current from a crappy power head (I had that with a rio early on). How old is the tank? If it's not mature, that coudld be the problem...

    Red bugs

    My vote would be somewhere in between. I have a 3 tank system for safety, they go from my 52 QT to the 120 to the 210 over 4 to 6 months. If the seller knows the frag is going to someone who is good about dips and QT and gives fair notice, I see no problem; conversely, if it's going to a...
