    Sitters needed for corals & fish while moving

    Sorry to hear about your story. You're pretty far away from me but on a positive note I have been amazed at how willing fellow reefers are to lend a helping hand at a time of need. I have no doubt you will get the help you need.

    Rescue Holly 911 Another use for Frag tools!

    You must have a much bigger dog. She is so food obsessed. The funny thing is the reason I found her that way is I was giving her my leftover vegetables from lunch and she was still trying to eat them with the bone wedged on her lower jaw.:lol:

    Rescue Holly 911 Another use for Frag tools!

    I posted this in my local forum and I thought I would share it here. I was not sure which forum to put it in so I put it in the DIY one. I apologize if I posted in the wrong place. I just thought fellow reefers and dog lovers like me would get a kick out of this! Okay so I'm cleaning up and...

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    Has anyone tried aluminum? Thanks for all the input and pictures and references. Wow so many options! Has anyone tried aluminum? I never considered it but this was one recommendation The concern is steel will eventually rust with saltwater and that the rust is often invisible and suggested...

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    Wow you guys are so incredibly talented! I am not handy this way at all! So what type of steel do you recommend? What type of treatment of the steel do you recommend. I think I have someone locally who can build it for me.

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    Wow, what a great idea! That stand is amazing. I would have never thought to use a skin like that and you can't tell the difference. That was my big concern with steel was the look. I agree awesome woodworking skills! Wish you were closer to me!

    Aquarium stands opinions?

    So, I'm going to start a new 150 gallon tank project. I was thinking about using old fashioned wood and still may but a good friend of mine suggested a steel stand. Has anyone used these? If so would you recommend it over wood? http://reefbuilders.com/2010/11/01/steelaquariumstands/ The tank...

    Problem catching your fish?!

    My tank is so crammed full of sps and other corals I don't like using a net. I just took the rock out that the hippo tang hides in to get her out. Worked like a charm.

    Which salt mix do you use?

    No love for Kent Why no love for Kent salt? I know a lot of reefers down in Portland use it! I use it and have had no issues with it.

    Loving the BRS Pukani Eco Rock

    Sweet thanks for the pictures Thunder. I don't actually have it in a tank yet. It was just too good of a deal to pass up for a future project. It looks great! And Tamarind you can get it at Bulk Reef Supply. I have a feeling it will sell out soon because it typically does.

    Loving the BRS Pukani Eco Rock

    Yes it is a good deal. The rock in the picture you see was only 20 pounds! It's very porous and lightweight. Dry weight makes a huge difference too. I read on the site that it can take about 3 months for coralline to settle on it. The only complaint I saw was that it needs to be rinsed as there...
