I'm tearing down my tank due to a leak and started draining it and remove all the rocks. Removed all the fish except my Blenny. Can't find him anywhere. Checked all the rocks. Nothing. Do they hide in the sand? skeeter

I was told by my LFS that they keep their salinity low to closely match the suppliers salinity so it is easier to acclimate them quickly with less stress to them. At 1.020 it wouln't cause any harm. But knowing a lot of business people, any way you can save a little without causing a problem is...

What are your plans for the two bottom bulkheads? Closed recirc system? skeeter

You may also want to count your cleanup crew. They only last 1-3 years and will slowly die off with out you noticing sometimes. May need to do a slight restocking. skeeter

I was wondering if you could/should use Weld-on 4 to weld two pieces together, end-to-end, to make a longer piece. Say two 96"x12"x3/4" pieces to make a single 192"x12"x3/4" piece. This would be to make a tank 16' long but only 1' tall. I understand you could also use #40 but i have read that...

Prices look pretty good. $82 for 1/4" and $120 for 3/8". And that includes shipping.

Those prices online look pretty good. I have emailed for a quote with shipping.

I'm using two of these for my mixing station and top off system I got on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160-4200-GPH-Submersible-Water-Pump-Aquarium-Fish-Pond-Hydroponics-/281918770824?var=&hash=item41a3ab0e88:m:mO2VAxVHCNA6vdKiaGfn31g I was concerned about the quality but they have served me...
