How'd you find us?
Caught a 3" trigger in a tide pool. Put him in an uncycled 3 gallon tank. Looking for info about him and stumbled here after a google.com search. Read a little and put him back in the ocean the next day :P- Porkfat

Canopy and stand
I just built a stand myself, you can see in the thread below. I found it easier to design it from the outside in. But build from the inside out. I don't have any design software so I ended up drawing everything on graph paper. When it comes down to it you can have all the fancy drawing and...- Porkfat

Not good.....

Today I mixed a 5 gallon bucket to 35 ppm (refrac reading) RO water, fed the fish soem frozen brine. Left it sitting while I ate breakfast ~30 mins walked back...- Porkfat

Not good.....

My DIY Stand Attempt
Thanks for the kind comments everyone :) Nikki, ahh yes thankyou for reminding me. Heat always a constant battle with me, without a chiller getting temps below 80 is a challenge over here. If I decided to make a door I'd probaly have to cut another hole to fit an exaust fan or something...- Porkfat

My DIY Stand Attempt
Just made a new stand for my future 20g nano I intend to build (as soon as funds allow). I only have a smaller tank ~10g atm but, I thought I'd plan a little ahead and start the process from the ground up so to speak. I really don't have much space and I never intended on having a sump or...- Porkfat

Opinions on Local Fish Stores
The LFS in my area is Pet Land and another one that I can't remember off the top of my head. They are pretty limited and only realy supply for fresh water fish. Salt water fish are available but not realy. I mostly catch my own and buy what I can't find. Corals I can get pretty easily since...- Porkfat

Queen Conach
I had a humpback cowry for a few years in my tank, he ate like a pig. They are both seaweed eaters though I don't know if they are similar in any other respects. I had to give him seaweed I collected from tide pools although he accepted leafy green vegies and nori. He didn't like sand very...- Porkfat

Opinion needed for fish capacity.
Nice, what kind of anemone were you thinking of? A hadoni, bta, somthing different? those I heard were a little easier to obtain and manage then another like a Ritteri or Sebae anemone. Was this going to be more of an SPS or LPS tank? What kind of circulation were you planning on doing...- Porkfat

Misbehaving Inhabitants
My tank isn't much, as all the stuff in it is what I've caught around my area but I used to have three urchins (don't know what kind) and I always fed them sea weed but any thing they could get including the ocational sick fish would quickly get eaten. We call them wana (vah-na), maybe that...- Porkfat
