    Rebirth of an old 300 gallon

    it is built to be free standing. I'm still not completly happy with it, the whole thing may yet be redone... just a little spray foam to keep it in place found it at home depot, Its filling cracks rather than polishing them out. It works ok on tanks, for the 5 mins it takes, but deep...

    Fish life span

    I hear ages all over the place for alot of these fish. In reality short of digging the orbital bone (I think thats the right one) out and putting it under a microscope its hard to tell how old any of these fish are. I know one thread over on RC lost a coral beauty that he had for 20 years. I...

    Wanna have some fun thursday night?

    Won't see it until tommorow but I'll let you know. From the sounds of it he got overwhelmed with emails, calls and no shows and pulled the add. Mostly, he couldn't sell alot of it until the livestock is gone. As I'm hoping to fix that issue, he called me. Depending on his price and how...

    Wanna have some fun thursday night?

    Nothing is completely set in stone as I'm going to check everything out and discuss money and details tommorow, but most likely I'm going to be getting the contents of a 280 gallon reef tank thursday afternoon/evening. There would certainly be beer and pizza involved, and most likely some...

    Rebirth of an old 300 gallon

    I have the bulkhead to mod it, never gotten around to installing it on the old one. I was actually thinking of running it outside to a 55 gallon barrel. would fill the 5 gallon bucket in less than a week, and I always manage to spill those.

    Rebirth of an old 300 gallon

    LOL... I got distracted and didn't... but the Polara is running... Really should have checked the skimmer though.. dialed it back even more.. And it is nasty stuff... its not like I'm skimming tea. I might look in to seeing if I can get another 6" of extention on that neck.

    Rebirth of an old 300 gallon

    Ever get nervous when a leak test goes well on the first try.... 30 seconds after fire up... and this is how much water it takes to fill the skimmer. Thats in an 8x2' 300 gallon tank. The fill line is where I keep the level at so I have enough room for all the water in the pipes to...

    Has anyone had clown eggs hatch in their main tank?

    I've heard of a Bangii cardinal hatchling surviving in the sump (on another forum) unknown so depending on the tank it *might* be possiible. I've never been motivated enough to try and catch fry.. but I assume they hatch w/ my screw ball pair of clowns. Never seen new ones show up in the tank...

    Who could take my tank continued.

    With any luck I'll live long enough to have that tank overflowing with coral... I'm sure things will go far and wide. Dave, careful, you're close, have space and a big truck... might give my mother your number.. You couldn't maintain this system any worse than I do and it seems to just keep...
