    Post Your Underwater Vids of Tanks, Tank Diving 101

    I tried this with my GoPro HD last month but the angle of the lens refracts light weird under water and it wasn't very sharp :(

    I've got a new project!

    Fun! Looks like you have a lot of stuff to start a great project. As for the tanks its not terribly difficult to drill glass, its just a bit nerve-racking the first time. You might be able to toss together a cheaper LED setup, it just depends on what kind of corals you want to keep. That would...

    For sale forum???

    I don't want to come across ungrateful because I know you guys put a decent chunk of time into the new classifieds section but I find it difficult to navigate effectively. The old forum style I could quickly browse things that caught my interest and I would check it out every day. It was a great...

    MrGone's LED build complete w/pics

    Thanks guys! :) It is great to hear and I am really happy with how it turned out. This whole tank rebuild has worked out really well. Cesar I was checking out some of your other LED build threads and it looks interesting, unfortunately I've only had time to skim. I'm hoping to read through them...

    Show off your clownfish!

    Here is a pic from my very first salt water setup 2 years ago, clowns eyes were bigger than its mouth :)

    MrGone's LED build complete w/pics

    So I have had this in the works for a few months and finally got it setup yesterday. I still need to do some finishing touches but for the most part it is done. I ordered all the parts from Steve's LEDs. For the price and this being my first LED build, it worked out well. I built it for my Dad's...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    Thanks! Unfortunately I wish I had more time to sit back and enjoy it all. That is the only downside to the room, you kind of have to go out of your way to see the tanks (compared to having a tank in the family room). Now if I could cram both a couch and desk in there, and even a bed as Dieden...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    I wish! I was trying to think of a way to label calcium reactor pH, you only get eight characters. I have two pH probes on the RKE, one for the system and one for the calcium reactor. Is there such a thing as a Calcium probe (and an Alkalinity probe)? I know once I get a feel for the...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    haha! I keep telling everyone when I'm finished (or at least get the tile laid and cabinetry done) but its starting to feel like I'll never be done :-/

    Mr Gone's filters

    Alright so I finally had some time to install the LEDs on the tank. I still need to finish up but it is looking pretty good so far. I'll have to start bringing some coral frags over once I recheck the calc/alk/mag levels. Here is the whites on full power, blues turned down Blues full power...

    Vodka Dosing

    Do people who carbon dose also run phosphate removers? I run GFO and read 0 phosphates but have a small level of nitrates and have been considering it.

    To have a closed loop or not

    I have a 2600gph pump on the 255g tank at my dads work, total system volume is probably around 320 gallons, I'd need to do the math to be certain. The sump setup goes filter socks, refugium, skimmer/other filtration compartment, return compartment. Having the high flow is nice because it enables...

    To have a closed loop or not

    If you can I figure go for it. You can always choose not to use it but having the option is really nice.

    To cycle, or not to cycle.

    The first tank i setup I wanted to wait a month, I lasted a week. Honestly I think it just comes with experience. I like to let a system run for a few days to a week to get an idea of what the temperature is going to do and such, but I have added fish the same or next day and haven't had a...

    Tropic Eden substrate

    It's more challenging than I anticipated to take pics of it! So here is my best shot versus here are the clams in the Carib Sea Ocean Direct And I used the Carib Sea Ocean Direct Oolite version in my Angel tank and that even still had some big chunks and shells which wasn't a huge deal to...
