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

    Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Kirk, my wife loves my equipment, she says the more the better. Hey Matt, I've gotta give Jason credit for the light combo, although I really would have liked to stick with my 10k's, I think they are at least partially responsible for my enviable ability to...

    Would a Copperband Butterfly eat zoos?

    Not unless you have a real rogue CBB at work, there are times I've wished I could find something that would eat zoa's, I've never had a copperband show any interest in them, and I've never heard of it happening, maybe someone else has a different experience...

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

    That's right Matt, I have been plotting my revenge over many sleepless nights ever since I found out you trumped me in the Bubble King department, ah, vengeance is mine!!! I'm starting out with 14k Coral Vues, do you have any experience using 14k's with actinics? Can't wait to get my light...

    Let There Be Light.... Great fun today, we got the hood wired and ready to go (As a matter of fact Jason & Eric, I do have a mouse in my pocket...). Here's a few photos of the progress: . . Here is the initial attachment of the Lumenarcs: . . . This is a close look at the optional cooling...

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

    They are on the way today Matt, hopefully it will be up and running this evening, if only my quality control supe could be here. I've got lot's of frags looking for a new home, my original plan to only have a dozen sps in there to have lot's of room to grow has gone out the window.. I've been...

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

    Though I'd just post a few pics of some of my tank critters.... . . Just picked up a pair of yellow tangs last Friday from Jeff in Oak Harbor(Jeffandlinda), they only took a couple of days to put the purple tang in place, crummy photo though... . . . . Here's a before and after of the Zoa colony...

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

    Well Scooty, I guess I did, I used google sketchup, which is basically CAD for retards, but Jason gets credit for fine tuning it and correcting all of my design flaws, the folks who made it at TRS construction get some credit too, they do amazing work...

    live sand or not

    If you are going with the real deal and want to save the max, check out foster smith, you can't beat them, they have low prices, but the cheap shipping is what really makes the difference with heavy items. I bought a few hundred pounds of seachem meridian oolitic, the whole works was shipped to...

    Thanks Chris, I appreciate that. It was a pleasure meeting you and the other Mikes Mike, I'm really glad the sumps will work for you, it was a shame just having them laying around. You are of course welcome anytime, when the lights are going I think it should be pretty neat...

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

    The Big Day!!! I've been eagerly awaiting this day, Patrick from TRS construction came up and installed the doors on my stand, I'd gotten used to the skeleton framework, as you will see this came out even better than I thought possible. The light hood was also delivered today, all stainless...

    Majestic Angelfish

    Right on guys, your experience has opened my eyes Kirk, I feel very bad for you going through that, but is has given me a serious reality check, thanks for your info Mike, it's folks like you that make this site such a wealth of info....

    Majestic Angelfish

    Scary stuff if true Mike, makes us all irresposible for buying fish that comes from certain areas, and makes a mockery of the oft repeated "reefkeepers don't have an impact on reef ecology, we actually encourage the preservation of these resources through our efforts", gives me a chill to think...

    Majestic Angelfish

    So sorry for your loss Kirk, helluva thing to go through, you certainly weren't doing anything wrong. I doubt it was cyanide, if I remember right cyanide collection leads to the necrosis of the interior lining of the intestine so no nutrients can be absorbed, you generally get a long slow...

    Pre-order the new illustrated Book of Coral Propagation!

    I got mine today Anthony, I had high expectations, but your book absolutely blew me away. Any reefer that doesn't rush out and get this ASAP is missing the boat, because I'll bet the farm that the first printing sells out in short order. Thanks for this and all the other amazing things you have...

    Where to find Calfo's new book on Coral Prop

    Got mine today, incredible job, well worth the wait, I'll give you a deal on my old one, just make sure you never see the new hardbound color illustrated one, it'll break your heart you didn't track down the new edition, although the info is still great...I'd PM Anthony if I were you Jimi, he'll...

    CFI - custom 155 Gallon - 60L x 30W x 20H

    Looking good Chris, you don't need a huge amount of flow, I'd use an MD-3 myself, I love Mag Drives, they last forever and do fine with back pressure, so your spray bar will be no problem, by installing a small inline ball valve, you can play around with different turnover rates and see what...
