    Frag Tanks... Post up your pics

    I am trying to come up with my own frag tank design and I am curious to see what people have done for their own frag tanks. Anything from the small 5 gallon tank with a fluorescent strip to the elaborate systems, show what you've done. I'm sure there are others would like to see these too...

    Anyone every use a drip tray under their sump?

    I have a drip pan in my sump workbench. Even have a "bilge pump" with a float switch so any spills pump out to the drain. I just bought mine as a scrap pc from a plastic supplier. It was called fiberglass grating. Maybe this will give some ideas of what options you can do...

    Dosing calcium and alkalinity

    Here is a picture of my new doser set up for part a and b. Profilux doser and the Warner Marine Calxmax product. My tank is only about 70 gallons so I don't have a huge demand for calcium/alk...yet. :) I just set it up (after having it for a long time), so I will know more in a month or two...

    Ok...here you go. Just a couple of low-resolution cell phone cam pictures, but hopefully you get the idea. I just have the two containers there until I figure out something better. Also a full tank shot showing some good growth and the new 12K Reeflux bulb

    Quick update... I finally hooked up my Profilux doser! I'm dosing Calxmax (part a and b) a few times a day each. It was a lot easier than I worried about. I knew I put it off for way too long.

    good to see you guys last night at the Swinging Arm. What a great place. Did you say Eric was part owner or was he just involved in the Tequila tasting?

    Mystery crab

    He will move to get to the bait in the glass at night. Just lean it against the rock at a steep angle. You may catch other hermit crabs or critters too.

    Mystery crab

    I used a pint beer glass with a heavy little container of food (i.e. small pvc with net wrapped around to prevent bait floating away). Leave it overnight...crab falls in and can't get out.

    which auto top off to buy?

    I have Tunze and so far it is excellent. The only thing is the probe holders are kind of funky so I made my own.

    BobinCovington's new system "makeover"with sump stand, elos tank and...

    So just to show where I am at with this. Imagine how this will look when all the stuff laying all over is put away, the wiring is re-routed to the now functional electrical panel, and I have a garage sale. (oh and I just had to replace our house hot water heater in the garage, so even more was...

    Sorry for the lack of posts, we have just had everything imaginable happening these last three months in our personal lives. I just changed out lighting to a reeflux 10K (250w) and two T5 39W Geissman Actinic Pluses, so it looks much brighter and the corals seem to be coloring up even better...

    halide light schedule

    What photo period does everyone use for their halides and fluorescents? (ie 12 hours for T5 actinics and 8 hours halide during the middle of the actinic period) Cy or Tim, I am interested in hearing what you use on your display tanks at Barrier.

    What does your user name mean?

    I have had several screen names on aol and such but now mine is pretty basic... my name is Bob and I live in Covington. Actually I just wanted to keep it simple since there are so many "Bob's" out there. (and so I could remember my screen name easily too)

    DIY HOOD

    you should look at how DonW did my hood Adam...its a great design. Also the vent on top really cuts down on the heat build up.

    Plumbing a long run under my house?

    I went with a 2" drain using spa type flexible PVC. I went down through the living room floor, 20 feet run under the floor then up through the floor near the wall and out to the garage sump, which is about a foot below the level of the floor. I replaced an earlier 1.5 drain with the 2 inch and...
