Does anyone have a 3d printer design file for a Jerepet safety guard so fish don't get stuck in the back of the wavemaker? Thanks. Jim

Many of us have heard of a Palytoxin (If you haven’t, read this). Lionfish and urchin toxicity is also pretty widely known about. Corals and anemones have stung people badly enough to cause numbness, pain and scarring. Water and electricity…drip loops people! What are some other risks which...

Hey everyone running 80/20 BRS tv quarantine. Im on day 4 just did my 1st 100 % water change. My Nitrofurazone powder came in the mail. I dosed the tank i wore a mask and gloves. My concern is when its diluted in the water is it safe to make skin contact and what not when doing my next water...

Hello all! I'm starting the planning for my new tank build and accompanying fish room but there are quite a few things I need to solve first. I have two major issues however with my room that I would like some advice on for both safety and generally staying up to code. Luckily the room is...

How do you keep your equipment from failing due to salt creep? I’m looking for ideas after my latest failure

Generally when doing standard maintenance like cleaning the glass or sump components I just use bare hands.. Occasionally I use Nitrile/powder free latex gloves I have around the house/garage when handling certain coral or mixing epoxy, etc.. However the gloves fill up with water since they are...

Is there a way to make wave pumps safer for smaller fish? I have a smaller YTECH 6W wave pump that works for my 30gal, but a banggai cardinalfish (maybe 1" long including tail) got hurt after he got sucked onto the side of the pump and was stuck there for an unknown length of time (it was...

My home was built last year. I have a 125g display tank on the 2nd floor of my house. Would it be ok to put a 40g sump below my 125g tank, and would it be safe or cause problems? Approx Water volume: 105g Sand: 120lbs Rock: 100lbs Tank weight without water guessing 200lbs? Stand: about 40lbs...

So I’ve been reading about the potential dangers to caring for a reef tank and i have read about palytoxins and Mycobacterium marinum. These are things I will worry about because I am OCD and can’t help it. If anyone has advice on how to safely care for a tank without having to worry about these...

I have a titanium grounding probe that I always placed in my sump. Seeing as I am rebooting my 125 gal, I am wondering where everyone places their probes. My reasoning for placing the grounding probe in the sump is my hands are mostly in the sump during maintenance and so long as the main pump...

Hey reefers I have a question. I manually dose my 55 gallon tank every day/ every other day depending on consumption of alk/calcium, but would much rather get a dose and have it dose daily throughout the day for increased stability. HOWEVER, I'm extremely curious, how often have dosing pumps...
