    Woke up to an odd noise...

    I have some, I will probably make up something with it till I get the new tank running.

    Woke up to an odd noise...

    Yep, but every noise in the house after that mad me think I fish could be jumping out! No, but the two ibuprophen I took before I went back to bed mad me feel quite a bit better ;).

    Woke up to an odd noise...

    Well around 5:30 this morning my wife and I woke up to a strange clanking sound coming from inside the house. So I stumbled out of bed in quite a daze, since I had pretty much just fallen asleep after a big birthday party for a couple brothers of mine. At first I thought it was my dog eating...

    Help with clownfish agression.....

    Sometimes I think Clowns are the most aggressive "reef safe" fish we put in out tanks. Mine are pretty aggressive towards each other and have tried it on other fish but I haven't had anything turn and run from them so the clowns usually back down. Do they host the same area without fighting...

    I don't have hermits in my tank so it has always been pods. Oh and BTW I call all pods copepods lol

    found clear molts on surface

    I have seen some pretty large copepod molts before, not sure if they were quite that big. Could that be a possibility? Also do you have any cleaner shrimp? Sometimes when my fire shrimp molts I only see a portion of the molt making it look like something else at first glance.

    Salifert Calcium Test question

    This probably has no bearing on the color description we are talking about with the test kit. But the one thing I remember having drilled into my head during my chemistry labs was that the word "clear" references something being free of visible particulates. My teacher used to go crazy if we...

    Slideshow's anyone??

    Here are just a couple from me. One of my wife and I and the other is of my brothers. I live under the belief that the family you choose is easily as important as the one you are born into. The picture of my brothers is what that is about and is only a few of those people that are so...

    anchors for frogspawn frags?

    I agree with Sid, whenever I frag LPS similar to Frogspawn I do it with the intention of making a nice piece of the skeleton to stick into rock or use as a base for the sand bed.

    Rep Power??

    See now if I was a mod I would be pretending I was high up on Mount Moderator throwing down Ban Bolts on to these puny mortals! -2 Rep points for lack of originality :badgrin:

    Slate's 125gal build

    My eheim 1260 return pump came today! I am hoping to hit up a LFS tomorrow and get bulkheads. However, I still need to find an appropriate water container to make an ATO out of that fits under the stand. That way I can see where everything is before I work on plumbing.

    180 gallon dual octogon AGA

    I agree with Adam, if you made a rock wall for it to trickle down over it would look sick!

    SWC 250A

    Yes, you can use something under the skimmer to raise it. For my current build I made a stand out of light diffuser(egg crate) and zip ties.

    Need a good return pump

    Eheim 1260 would put out around 500gph+. Would be more $$ up front but less power consumption and they don't heat up the water as much.

    180 gallon dual octogon AGA

    Looks like you did a great job Ben! I bet you can find a way to suspend you T5s over that puppy for now. For an idea of future lighting that wont destroy the bank you should check out http://www.fishneedit.com/metal-halide.html I bet a 250w over each section would be sick over that bad boy...
