    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    Scooty, my sump is your sump. Charlie, just put me on your itinerary when you come out for the PSAS barbeque this year, I spent five years in Great Falls, I speak fluent Montanan since I did make it through the sixth grade, although that was the hardest three years of my life....

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    The Bigger Day!!! My thanks to Jason Gregory, Owner of Clear Fabrications, and to Eric Dustin, Owner of Veralte Aquatics. You have both made my Wet Dream a reality. Also, the fish tank is really nice. My hood is in place and I'm on cloud 9. Photos are with the actinics alone (all 840 watts of...

    My Lifetime Dream from Clear Fabfications

    Jason, I can't really express my appreciation for the incredible job you and your team of craftsmen have done to make my fantasy a reality. I've been using assembly line tanks for over 30 years, I never dreamed such quality possible, thank you for creating this living work of art in my home. I...

    Anemone help

    Looks like he's gonna make it, when you do feed him try using food that is chopped up very fine and target feed him with a baster etc so he gets the nutrients quicker and more effectively, I feed all my anemones that way if I do feed them, never have the half digested large pieces of glop...

    Best item for a tank

    Hi Guys, what you are looking for can be found at any auto supply store, they are used to add acid/water to batteries, not so commonly seen in this day of sealed batteries, I bought two in case they become hard to find, you'll throw away your turkey basters when you get one of these, the bulb...

    Help Identify Material in Tank Please

    Not dumb at all brady, but there was just too much to have come from a ric or shrimp, a lot of the pieces were over one inch square before they disintegrated, hadn't fed nori for quite a while, they prefer chaeto from my fuge...

    Help Identify Material in Tank Please

    :lol: I think we'll go with that Mike, unless someone has another ideeur, I can't equate it with any of the critters, maybe I'll feel around inside the top of the tank and see if there is anything strange there....

    Help Identify Material in Tank Please

    Both good suggestions guys, but the only softties I have are a few rics and zoas, and I gots no wrasses, I've got three clowns, three damsels, 2 yellow tangs, 1 Vlamingi tang, 1 Naso Tang, 1 purple tang, 1 Azfur angel, 1 coral beauty angel, 1 Foxface, 1 yellow clown goby, and 1 lawn mower...

    Help Identify Material in Tank Please

    It broke up in a couple of minutes while I watched it in fascination, gone by the time I thought about pics. The only glue used was IC Gel to attach some zoas, that was over a month ago. I'm not really concerned about this being something pathologic, I'm just curious to see if anyone else has...

    Help Identify Material in Tank Please

    When I walked over to my tank last night I observed a large amount of wispy translucent material circulating in the water, some as large as 1 inch square, it rapidly broke apart in the current, so it may have been larger initially before I saw it. Within a few minutes it was no longer visible...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    Great idea Mark, I know they make a line of high heat paint that people can use on automobile engines, I bet that would hold up temp wise. I'll test some on an extra piece of ducting just to make sure it doesn't flake off when it flexes, if they make an epoxy based one I bet that would be...

    Finally, room for fish and corals

    Brilliant idea doing the 3 piece stand Matt, another example of a well thought out plan on your part. The pad is a great idea too, I bet a few folks will be using that one down the road. You won't be disappointed with the laminate, I don't know if you remember the laminate in my living room, it...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    Thanks Mark, I appreciate that, you are too kind, it's really not complicated, I just followed a few basic principles to ensure success that I have learned from others, good circulation, good lighting, good skimming, and a biga*ss fuge, these are things that can be applied to any size system...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    Got my ducting in place, never worked with that aluminum drier stuff, it's really cool. Now the $64 question is how long will it hold up in our pseudo marine environment, one would think that a bit of salt plus high temps would equal rapid oxidative processes, we shall see... Here's a few photos...
