    Taqpol's 120 gallon All in Stand Reef Build

    Wow! You got all the little changes! I switched the frogspawn and torch because I plan on putting one of my new acros above where the torch used to be, the big ball was a large Galaxea colony that finally started sending out sweeper and killing some zoanthids, and I knocked the brown digi off...

    Can anyone tell the difference? (Hint hint: there are a few corals either moved or removed, but take a look at that glass!)

    Hilarious Halloween Costume

    One of my coworkers found this and while browsing a "feminist blog" and thought I would find it funny since veryone knows I'm the "fish nerd". Here it is, the first ever sexy clown fish costume! I laughed pretty hard, is this sexy halloween thing going to far?

    Taqpol's 120 gallon All in Stand Reef Build

    The coast to coast overflow is great, and there is a lot of data showing that they skim the top layer where all the DOC's accumulate much more effectively then other types of overflows. The quietness, however, comes from the overflow configuration I use, which is BeanAnimal's Silent and Failsafe...

    Special Requests?

    I've really been looking for an Eibli Mimic Tang and a FEMALE Spotted Mandarin, but both of those can be kinda hard to find. Plus I don't think I'd want to pay the shipping to have you guys send either to me on the east side...

    After reviewing them, I'm not too happy with the quality of the above pictures. I blame it on too many weird and contrasting lights and the fact that the glass on both tanks is horribly filthy. I promise better pictures within the next few days after I change my carbon and get sand in the frag tank.

    Select new corals. The day lights had already turned off and I kinda suck at actinic pictures, but heres some I thought turned out all right: Purple and Red Acanthastrea: Pink Polyped Montipora Digitata: Christmas Wrasse: Picasso Clown (You wouldn't expect these fish to be so expensive...

    Taqpol's 120 gallon All in Stand Reef Build

    Big update time! With pictures! The lighting over the frag tank is my old Current USA Sundial 4x24w T5 fixture hung by the Current USA arms. Unfortunately the fixture did not come with mounting brackets for the hanging arm kit so I had to DIY my own. Basically I just unscrewed the plastic...

    Do Mimic Tangs eat Nori?

    I picked up a half black Mimic Tang from Barrier Reef's anniversary sale that is doing great. He's in a 20 gallon long QT tank with a pair of Picassos and has been eating mysis, formula 2 flake food, freeze dried cyclopeeze, and New Life Spectrum pellets with gusto. He seems fine, but he hasn't...

    Everything seems to be doing well in QT right now. The two tangs are already getting along with each other fine (Even in a 20 gal long), and the two picassos have started "hosting" a piece of PVC pipe and don't let the tangs in it! I'll try and get some pictures up within the next few days.

    Taqpol's 120 gallon All in Stand Reef Build

    Am I crazy for driving five hours one way for a fish store sale? Barrier Reef Aquariums in Seattle had a MASSIVE three year anniversary sale, and I walked away with a lot of goodies. 1x Half Black Mimic Tang 1x Baby Kole Tang (its smaller then a quarter!!) 1x Christmas Wrasse 3x Amazing looking...

    2009 3rd Anniversary Sale!

    Wow! This is the first time I've won something like this at a raffle! My fiancee REALLY wanted a pair of picassos and they are going in "her" anemone tank so maybe this will be her gateway drug. :)

    Show me your full tank shots

    Yep, the tank and the stand beneath it are custom built. Since this picture I've painted the entire back pane black.

    Livestock Arrivals 10/12-10/16

    Any idea what fish will be on the shipment that arrives for Sunday Morning? If it isn't set in stone yet, could you guys put some CBB's on it? Thank you!

    Livestock Arrivals 10/12-10/16

    I'm actually going to be coming in late Thursday night from the east side (not JUST for the sale, I'm also interviewing at UW) and was wondering if you've ever had customers set up a 10g tank in their hotel room for keeping fish over the weekend? I've been in the market for a female target...

    Wish Me Luck!!

    Following along on this because I am thinking of adding a CBB to my tank in the near future. Berghias haven't been working out for me ;) and in the very near future I'll be able to move my clams to my rimless display frag/anemone/clam tank. Plus, CBB's are just so dang pretty! Let us all know...

    Taqpol's 120 gallon All in Stand Reef Build

    So I've actually had another project going for awhile, here's some pictures: I built the stand too. It will be going over my external skimmer and sit right next to my main tank. I will use the tank as a frag/anemone tank and it will be plumbed into the main system through the sump...
