    PetCo

    Thats what my parents are thinking. Im going to be 17- and when college comes around I plan on majoring in business and minoring in marine biology. My dream for years has been to open a LFS. My parents think that if I get my foot in the door at PetCo, sooner or later Ill be a manager. They think...

    PetCo

    Oh Man.. I was in the area of a PetCo today so I ran in to see if they had anything for the reef Im setting up in a few weeks. Of course they didnt. But I was reading a paper they give away about fish. They had one for clown triggers and it said the Min. tank size for a clown trigger was a 30...

    What do you do for ....

    I work at my LFS.. Im 16 going on 17 in September so it helps me pay for what I need to do the tank/car. :D Once I finish highschool I plan on majoring in business, and minoring in marine biology. Then Ill probably take out a small business loan and open up a LFS. Thats been my dream since I...

    Designed My Sump - Need Input

    Thanks for all the help man.. Now I just have to figure out how I am going to hide the tank. Its going to be in my bedroom, so if I have the fuge lights on 24/7 I wont be able to sleep. lol. I need to build something around it so I can hide everything but still get into it often.

    Oh sorry. At first it looked like you didnt have any sand.. just coraline and rubble on the bottom.

    Designed My Sump - Need Input

    Yeah I thought about that after I was almost done. lol. Do you think I should put the pipe with the water coming out on the other side, so the pipe with the water going to the main tank has a shorter distance?

    Feather Dusters

    This isnt from my tank. But someone from another forum ended up getting these in his filter/skimmer a year after the tank was setup. I would seriously buy a culture or something.. lol

    Thats beautiful. No substrate? Maybe ill do that with my 44 gallon pentagon. The front is almost the same, the back comes to a point though. It will look like crap for a few months but what can ya do? lol. Great tank.

    Designed My Sump - Need Input

    Hey Guys.. Hes the run down. My 44 gallon is going to be turned into a reef in a few weeks. I am planning my sump as we speak. I plan on buying an overflow box from Dr Foster and Smith. Its going to overflow down PVC or a hose, and into the sump. The water will then be skimmed, and then it will...

    Glueing Acrylic to Glass?

    What would work best? I made a post in the General Discussion forums about building my sump. I think I know how I am going to do it now, so I will get a new redesigned diagram uploaded and I will make a new post here. For the mean time, what should I use to glue acrylic to glass? I need to make...

    Understand my Sump/Fuge

    Ok.. I work at my LFS so I get AGA tanks at cost with 20% off. lol. Im guessing the airline tubing on the overflow stops the siphon too? As for pumps.. Would a Quiet One 1200 (296 GPH) be alright?

    Understand my Sump/Fuge

    Ok.. I dont understand the entire reason for having airline tubing on the overflow. I read it and Im still like "..WTF". lol. Also. Do you think it would be easier for me to buy a 10-20 gallon tank and add baffles, or should I just build an acrylic tank and add baffles. I dont have a clue on...

    Understand my Sump/Fuge

    Explain head loss? And thats the overflow I was planning on using. Ok- Heres the fuge. Please excuse the fact that I have 0 Photoshop skills and that I forgot to add a heater (it will probably be in the chamber with the pump), and I forgot to add a skimmer. I wasnt sure if I should skim before...
