    Sweet! I like that idea.

    That's a good idea. Right now I have 3 occellaris, a blue tang, a 6 line, a Christmas wrasse, a yellow tail damsel, 2 green chromis', and a ywg I moved from my BioCube 14 but I haven’t' seen him in over a week so I'm thinking the worst. I also have a cleaner shrimp and a coral banded shrimp...

    Well, I've finally had it with my skimmer and its time for a change. I pulled it out of the sump yesterday and brought it over to Frankie's Skimmer Body and Repair Shop for some modifications. I just can't get it set to where it can skim properly. It either immediately floods the collection...

    Yeah, the anthias are definitely colorful. I wouldn't mind having some but the ones I've seen and like cost an arm and a leg. Having to feed them 3 times a day would be difficult for me as well at the moment. Good idea with the peppermint shrimp. I tried to do the same thing in my 180 but...

    Now that's a nice list. I like anthias and angles. :)

    Nice, I like both of those fish. :) Ah, there are so many fish to chose from and so little water to put them in.

    Thanks. It is an nice center piece. I did have to move it over a little so the clam can be seem. My daughter wants to know if there is a pearl in there or not. I told her the clam was the pearl. :)

    Over the last year, I've been running into an algae problem. I've been doing water changes but I guess not enough. I got a Reef Octopus BR 140 reactor and some bio pellets from BRS. I was happy with my initial results as I could see the algae slowly deteriorating and disappearing. Then I...

    The next update is my aptasia zapper. I got the idea from Paul B. It was fun to make and it works pretty well. A lot of times though the aptasia goes back into the rock quicker than I can zap it. LOL Here is the completed zapper. It's not as good as Paul's but it's functional. I used a...

    Ok, up date time. First, lets start with the dirty water storage containers. I was using 2, 32 g Brute trash cans but I wanted to make my sw in 50 g batches so I started looking for 55 g drums. I found a few but they were used for detergent and I really didn't want to mess with it. Some...

    60 gallon frag system build

    The Gen X are like that too. I was finally able to get the impeller out of the Gen X 4100 and it was split down the center vertically and rusted. The lady I talked with at Gen X said the impeller should be removed every 3 weeks for cleaning. Oh, by the way, your Betta looks pretty cool...

    Better flow: Closed loop or power heads?

    Hi Nick, Thanks for your post and for sharing your experiences. That is definitely a lot to think about. I don't have any experiences with Tunze PH but I've read some nice things about them. There are a variety of pros and cons for both systems, I just need to decide which would be the best...

    Cool beans. Thanks. I'm about ready to need some more primer and glue.
