Save money and just get the front and sides low iron/Starphire the back and bottom don't need to be. But any 10' x 3.5' piece is going to be $$$. Most likely going to be 3/4 inch thick. Freight will be a lot too. And you need like a lift/suction cup machine to move/assemble it. I would look into having one made. Try miracles aquariums in Canada. Last time I priced an 8x4x2 it was around 6500 shipped and that was Starphire

So you want to move fish with ick into someone else's established tank? Honestly, I don't know many people that would go for that. Was your other plan to get 5o lbs of established rock and copper it? That will destroy the rock. It will absorb the copper, so it will lower the copper level making it less therapeutic, and also destroy the rock. I always recommended keeping a sponge filter in your sump. Then it's always ready to go. If I had a fish break out I would do a water change into the new tank so it's the same water they are coming from. Add the sponge filter. Then copper. It's ready to go and the least stress possible. Then toss the sponge filter and start a new one. Cheap and easy. But in all honesty I would think of a plan c, because I doubt anyone would give up their established tank to be coppered. You may find someone with a big qt going already but moving the fish will probably make them break more.

My anthias loved that stuff

They also make digital timers that time down to seconds. You could have it on for 23hrs 50 mins. But you would likely need to feed the same time each night to make it worth it

Also don't make big adjustments. Make small adjustments and give it time to judge a reaction. If you have a controller. Set the ph to 6.6 or 6.7 or whatever you decide and leave it alone. Then adjust drip rate only from there. If levels start climbing lower the drip rate and give it time to see what happens. If levels fall increase drip rate and give it time to adjust and see. But I like to leave ph stable and only adjust one variable. When you start messing with both its harder to figure out what it working and what isn't. Also I have found that ph 6.4 and lower make media mushy and it doesn't work so well

Test as much as needed to maintain levels. More at first and less so once it's dialed in. Drip rate was whatever was needed to maintain optimum cal/alk levels. I liked about 425-450 cal and about 10dkh alk. Co2 bubbles per min was whatever it took to keep reactor ph about 6.6-6.7 when your drip rate it at proper level. Honestly takes a lot of testing and retesting and fidgeting to dial it in.

That fact that it comes and goes also leads me to believe it's your heater. When it's on it comes and when it is off it goes

You can cut any size whole in any thickness of glass really with the right tools. I don't think there is much of a correlation. Sharp/new bit. I have drilled 1/8 inch to 3 inch holes in glass that is 1/8 inch thick to glass that is 1 inch thick. Sharp/new bit is best. I like high speed. Thinner the glass the lighter the pressure. Very light pressure in the beginning of the cut and end. I like a foam or wood template the size of the bit to use as a guide to prevent walking of the bit. I use a spray bottle of water for cooling

It's 15-16 mpg just the truck around town. 10-12 towing heavier loads

Man this brings back memories. My buddies and I in high school had angels. They had LCD screens and were super high tech. We saved forever for them. It is a lot of fun

I drive a gmc 2500 hd with a 6.6L turbo diesel with allison transmission for work. Also has airbag suspension in the rear. I love that truck. Pulls 12000lb loads like there is nothing there. Has made me seriously consider a diesel once I am not putting in so many daily miles.

I have seen micro bubbles kill corals. At night when they feed they can actually ingest bubbles and cause embolisms that cause tissue damage. Yes bubbles happen in nature but there are also currents that clear them. I don't think non stop bubbles are a good idea. Keep bubbles in the skimmer and the sump is my recommendation

Kyle, do they make photometers to turn lights on and off based off how much sun you are getting?

Low pressure. High speed. Sharp bit. Let the bit do the cutting not the pressure. water the cut to cool it. I use a foam or wood template. I have drilled probably a hundred glass tanks all with a hand drill. Thicker glass is more forgiving but those are definitely doable.

I always ran it separately because my gfo would last longer than the carbon.

I doubt they killed it. They were most likely cleaning what was already going down.

That is great

It's not the right Avenue of change. It won't change anything. I wouldn't even call it a band aid. Attack the root of the problem. When guns are gone and they switch to knives, regulate or bans those? Then when they switch to bombs, regulate or ban all bomb making materials? There would be no end. How about investing in ways and ideas to make it so people don't want to do these kinds of things?

But you are still talking about firearm regulation so I don't think you really get it... I'm not even going to bother with analogies or comparisons. If it doesn't make sense to attack the root of the problem and not the tools used in a problem I guess you just won't ever understand. Taking away or regulating firearms won't stop the problem. And it seems people won't understand until firearms are gone and psychos find another way. Then it might sink in

Why is it always after an incident like this the talk is always over how people were killed and never the why? Stop the crazy not the tools they use to kill. Crazy will always find a way to kill. Take firearms away and they will use knives, poisons, bombs etc. Stop the problem at the source. Maybe post some facts about the US vs. The world in terms of mental health instead of firearms issues. Stop the violence at the source. Stop talking about regulating law abiding citizen rights and talk about fixing the problem about WHY these people do it

They aren't used under pressure. Just as a drain so I don't think there should be an issue.

I have always used purple primer and pvc glue and have never had an issue and I have done hundreds

How often do you feed them? They do get territorial but I have only really seen it for two reasons. Lack of available food and breeding. I really never lost any due to aggression. They would cohabitate peacefully for like 6+ months. After which they would start to pair off and I would separate them and mix batches from other bloodlines. My guess if at that young they are taking each other down they are lacking food. Stronger individuals are taking weaker ones out to limit competition. I would feed 4-6 times a day. Enriched BBS. And then start to mix in dry/frozen foods.
