    Tank of shame resurrected

    Some mor with the lights on. cheeks69: I feed them gost shrimps that I gut load with cyclopeeze first. Has worked out pretty well so far. As far as stocking, I have changed my mind so far 3 times. I think I will keep it simple and just add an eel of some sort, maybe a trigger, and a...

    Tank of shame resurrected

    This is what it now looks like after the major clean up job. There is some minor amounts of macro left, but I will be getting some clean up crew and some form of a hervibore. These are my two angler fish. They both started out black with yellow markings ont hem, but somewhere alone the lines...

    Tank of shame resurrected

    Well, I had it for sale locally for a while as I was too lazy to clean it. Nobody wanted it even thought I was giving it away practically, so I decided to neglect it even more. It would evaporate 35g fromt he sump and would not get top off until the pump was sucking air, tc. You know the type of...

    Tank of shame resurrected

    Sadly enough, this is what the tank looked like when I first set it up.

    Tank of shame resurrected

    Well, after months and months of looking at the 60g cube in my office, I decided to take a couple of hours to tear it apart and start all over again. Water was drained, fish gathered, rock taken out and scrubbed, macro dispossed of, and the little bit of ricordias I had there collected and...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    I addressed this before. I have no crossbraces, but have a 6" all around eurobrace. If I put a traditional box there, I would not be able to get my hand in it with the euro brace above it. Plus, they take a ton of room and don't look very nice. I thought about an external overflow, but it would...

    Pictures Of Your Best Fish

    Of the fish I own, this is one of my favorite. Not rare, but dear to me. Mated pair of saddle back clowns. This is a close second favorite. My regal angel.

    Alternative Reactor Media

    Well, I just spent the last 2 hours taking apart my Ca reactor to clean the clogged pad at the bottom. This was even with the Schuran media. I think it had a lot to do with my pH probe crapping out on me and the CO2 being so high thinking I was not getting enough in. Tons and tons of tiny little...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    So sorry to hear about all of your troubles with the fish. I've had many foxface before and none ever picked on anything. Well, one ate over 1000 mushrooms overnight, but that was a blessing for me. I knew the regal would pick at stuff here and there, and it does. Not real damage to anything as...

    Alternative Reactor Media

    Looks like a Korallin reactor from his pictures.

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Let me explain this a little better with an example. Take a Red Dragon 14 M3 pump. It costs $1219 and it has an Output - 3698 g/h, but it uses like 80 watts of electricity. You can also buy a Sequence ReefFlo Dart Water Pump 600-3200 gph at 168 watts for $195. Now even if the sequence heated the...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    He is doing great. Eats everything including flakes and is fat. He gets alone with everyone. He is doing great too. Very very active fish. I had one before for years until I moved to FL. This fish is much more aggressive than any other tang I've had before. Has already killed a few new fish...

    A 750g SPS system is born

    Yep, the entire thing is completely finsihed now. All the pumps on the close loops are back and working, the intake for the pumps was re-done to accomodate bigger diameter pipes (better flow), and things seem to be doing OK. As far as fis, I have the following so far: -mystery wrasse -possum...

    Homemade Controllers?? Can it be done??

    Doing the controller thing is quite simple actually with already available products. You can get the controlling side done with just a software and aconnect it to your home's computer to control your entire tank and lots of home's things with simple X-10 stuff. The real problem comes with the...

    Where to buy dendrophyllia ?

    I may be wrong here and please someone correct me if I am, but sun corals are not photosynthetic corals. They could care less whether it is night or day. I had a large colony that did very well for along while and their polyps where out when there was something to eat. It is as if they could...

    Anthias behavior

    You know, this did cross my mind because in retrospect one or two had the slightly longer fins at the top. Their colors were completeyl orange then, so no question that if there was some males they were camouflaged very very well. They still don't have agression to each other. What is going to...

    I know I am, but the fish don't know it though?
