    My First SW Build

    Well, I'm finally getting started into the world of SW aquariums. I've been reading about it for a long time now and I'm slowly collecting the bits and pieces that I need to get my 90 gallon tank going. The BR sale was too enticing for me to pass up so I started up a 10 gallon nano a few weeks...

    Spring Sale 2010

    Sorry to hear about your loss. Great customer care with the credit back from BR. "Stay classy, San Diego..." I picked up an orange spotted goby and a couple of clowns and they are all doing great so far. For the first day or two the goby was skittish when we would enter the room but now it...

    Spring Sale 2010

    Thanks for the great sale! I really enjoyed the opportunity to be in the store today without much of a crowd. My family and I are happy with our purchases and we look forward to coming back soon. It was worth the hour drive out from Port Orchard!

    Voliton in a reef

    My dad had a 29 gallon SW tank back in the day that housed a lion fish. This was before live rock or skimmers were the filtration method of choice and he used an under-gravel filter. We fed it live goldfish but it got to the point that it would eat previously frozen pieces of fish from his...

    Friendly suggestion...if you haven't had a response to your thread you can "bump" the thread by commenting again on the same thread. You don't have to create a new thread each time you want to ask the same question again. Also, a more descriptive title may draw more traffic to view your...

    Project Frag 20L

    My wife is the same way. She's been a little tentative as I've been gathering bits and pieces to start my 90 gallon tank. She says that she doesn't want anything that looks "trashy" in the new house. I agree with her completely. I've even been able to convince her to come along with me to BR...

    Project Frag 20L

    Nice looking set-up. I've bookmarked the page as a reference for the stand I'm currently working on. The styling of your cabinet even got a thumbs up from my wife so I may get to put the tank in the living room instead of upstairs in the hallway.

    Used Light Fixture - Bad Ballast?

    So I just got my replacement bulb in the mail and the light fixture still doesn't fire up. How did you end up diagnosing the problem with your fixture? Any advice on how to systematically test the fixture? Thanks.

    Media Reactor Placement

    Thanks for the response and the pics! That's a good idea to use flow from the return pump.

    Media Reactor Placement

    Where is the best place to put a media reactor? I'm setting up a 90 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I plan on having live rock, macro, and a skimmer, when I can afford one, in the sump. I plan on making a reactor similar to the "Two Little Fishies Phosban Reactor" that I will run mostly...

    Used Light Fixture - Bad Ballast?

    Well, that's a relief. I kind of figured that was the case, closing the circuit or something along those lines. Thanks for the quick response. I should be getting my replacement bulb in the mail next week and I can try to fire it up again with two intact bulbs.

    Used Light Fixture - Bad Ballast?

    I'm in the process of gathering the bits and pieces I need to get a 90 gallon tank up and running. I purchased a used light fixture (Sunlight Supply T-5 Ready Fit Retro, w/ 2 54 watt bulbs) from Barrier Reef about a month ago and I'm not sure if it is going to work for me. It came with one...

    Fish Compatability

    I thought I overheard at Barrier Reef Aquariums the other day that lawnmower blennies don't get along that well with other blennies but I don't have much personal experience with these fish.

    Ultimate Clean-up Crew

    I "stumbled" across this video the other day and I thought it was pretty interesting. After seeing the bristle worm tat2z_21's coral banded shrimp caught, I was reminded of this time lapse video of the ocean's clean-up crew at work. Ever wonder what's lurking in your rock work...

    Coral Banded snack.

    +1 on the awesomeness of the photo. Pretty good size catch for that little guy.
