00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[luis angel]

Couldn’t see anything good in the light washed western suburbs of Chicago, faint pink.

Does anyone here have a good trap method for a lovely little butt-wh0!e diamond goby? More expletives - has pretty much killed everything on my sand bed, so I thought I’d “rearrange” the rocks to get him out and that didn’t work which ended up having me kill almost all my torches and a few acro frags.

I'm sorry to hear that, one of the ways I've used is to put a net in the tank for at least 5 days and keep putting food near it but without touching the net so the fish gets used to it and when you see that it's not afraid of it then you put the food in and when the fish comes to eat you take it out, if that doesn't work you can use 2 nets, one in the place that you see that it always is and with the other net you push it to that place, preferably a corner, I hope it works for you.

How do I get these off ???

If they're glued, cut is really the only way.

What tool is best for the parts attached close to bulkhead. Do I cut in half to break it off the thread? Terrified of chipping the back of the tank.

They make tubing cutters. Usually you can buy them at any hardware store.

Is it threaded on the inside of the tank? Maybe you can unthread it and remove it from the tank to cut it?

An aurora night? I missed all the good ones awhile back. I hadn't heard anything about aurora's tonight

Welcome to the Smorgasbord @Nor'easter reefer !

Thank you!!! @00W looks great. Do you think it’s enough for an anemone?

12 inch deep tank my did fine.
But she's old, acclimated and not too picky.
You can try on the sps setting, or 100 percent both channels.
Sometimes anemones move around until they're comfortable, whether it be light or flow.
But secret to anemones is stability and age of tank, then light.
You can try an easy carpet anemone and see.

I’ll get another one off Amazon for the other side, snipping the rim was simple and not to anxiety ridden. I’ll dose CA and see if it takes off first!

Good morning Kipp!
First, what are they for and why remove?
Second, as Tim said I'd look inside the tank. On through bulkhead fittings they're usually screwed on with a washer on the inside, but people do weird jenky stuff.
Looks like there are screw fittings in the picture but more pictures the better.

 

[00W]

Would it be this?

You can use that on a drill yes.
The tubing cutters Tim's talking about are hand held, round and use no electricity.
You just put them around the pipe and turn.
They're safer and can get in tight spots.
Couple bucks and a must tool box item.

Anemones don't care much about calcium, or really much else we dose.
Light, flow, STABILITY, maturity of the tank.
A lot of them like to eat also.

I can try to take better pictures later.

That would work if you're careful, yes.

I use the ratcheting kind at work but they're pricier.

Looks like your overflow.
The black parts inside are bulkhead fittings.
They unscrew, unless someone glued the threads.

The black part is a bulkhead and "should" unscrew...

Morning folks.

I made it back home at 2 in the morning today.

We sat in Baltimore on the plane for over an hour and a half because some kid threw up everywhere and they had to clean it up.

Anyways, today's the day! I start to fill my tank!!

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Oh, and my stylophora roughed it in the temp drop, but everything else looks reasonably well. There are lots of dinos though.
