    Thinking of getting an electric flame scallop.

    Thanks for the input. I think I'll stay away from them.

    Thinking of getting an electric flame scallop.

    I'm thinking of getting an electric flame scallop. The just look so cool. I did some searching and kind find much mention of them in the forums. I guess that is a good thing because if people had lots of problems with them I would expect there to be some discussion about them. Anyway, for...

    210 In Wall

    Great work! I'm considering a similar project, a much smaller scale. Unfortunately, I don't have the kind of space that you do. If I manage to get my project off the ground I would be interested in coming by to take a look at yours.

    External Sump

    I really want to add a bigger sump and refugium to my system. However, I've very limited on space. My tank is next to an outside wall of my house. There is space on the other side (outside the house). So, I'm considering building some kind of enclosure for a sump that will be outside the...

    how to move your tank

    I recently did a similar move with a 12g nano even :). I moved my live rock inside a couple of IO salt buckets. That way I didn't have to worry about the rock cutting open a bag. The scew on lid kept the water from splashing out. A small pre-warmed ice chest with the fish in bags is a good...

    Tangs Tangs Tangs...

    Cool tank. I purchased a 210g system which included three tangs; blue hippo, mimic and a purple. They all seem to get along. I really like yellow tangs for their striking color. I have been worried to add one due to the aggression amongst all the tangs. I'll be interested to see how yours...

    Modifying an AquaController Jr.

    I've got an AquaController Jr. that came with a complete reef setup I bought a while ago. The guy I bought it from had the special serial cable, but it doesn't have the serial port connection. I think it would be cool to have this feature, but don't want to purchase a new controller with it...

    Cleaning magnets

    Easy Blade I'm also looking at getting a more powerful cleaning magnet for my tank with 1/2" glass. I've got a MagFloat 350 right now. Following the link to the Hammerhead at MarineDepot led me to this product, the Easy Blade (sorta sounds like a product name you would see on a late night...

    Lost and Found!

    That is amazing. Atleast they had each other to keep company. I had a percula clown a while back that seemed to really love the overflow in my old 72g tank. I managed to get it out a couple of times and always found it back there again after a few days or a week. I eventually stopped trying...

    Heat Reducing Window Film

    My tank is located in a room with a pretty good sized window that gets full sun in the late afternoon to evening. The tank doesn't get any direct light, but the room heats up pretty good. I've been thinking about getting a window/glass film that is supposed to cut down heat from the sun by up...

    neptune dx8 problems

    I've got the exact same problem with no power switching on the Direct Connect 8 unit. I also had a similar difficulty with the screw by the RJ-11 (phone) plug just spinning. After I managed to get it off I discovered that this is just a screw to connect a ground wire to the case. You should...

    Draining and refilling my tank

    Is a garden hose safe to use to transport salt water? Would I be better with a new one or one that has been used for awhile? Here's what I'm trying to do: I need to temporarily move my tank out of the room it is and then put it back. It will only be for a day or two. I have enough...

    Moving a 210g glass tank

    LOL, that's true. The current owner said he and a buddy carried it in, but it was tough. I'm planning to have four guys carry the tank. I think that should be manageable. We don't have to carry it very far at either location.

    Moving a 210g glass tank

    I'm going to be purchasing a 210 gallon glass tank and stand. I'm working on a plan to make sure that on move day everything goes as good as possible. I'll be renting a U-Haul truck. When checking into this, the idea of using a furniture dolly (or two) struck me. These are flat platforms with...
