    davey's 15long peninsula

    It fits perfectly in my house, not too big, works with a T-5 light fixture, although not a great bulb selection, gives me the 3 sided peninsula style I wanted and a small display refugium so I can have some nice macro algaes and mangroves tucked in the corner. I cant wait to get this thing...

    But the german blue ram pair would be ok in 3gallons? I looked them up and like their color. Thanks for all the suggestions!

    davey's 15long peninsula

    I am gonna pretty much just move over the stuff from the pico. Ricordea, mushrooms, zoas, greenstar polyps, kenya tree, monti frags, birdsnest and purple haze. I have my eye on some more sps, and there are a bunch of lps I wanna try duncans, acans, and blastos, and maybe a torch if I have...

    davey's 15long peninsula

    Actually I think the flow is pretty good, and I am going to put a locline tube and nozzle on the end so I can adjust and direct it. I am also going ato dd a koralia nano on the opposite end, I plan on putting some sps frags in there and I want a strong flow. I have one 18" 40W T-5 and I am...

    I have seen others use metal conduit with a curve, but I preferred the sharp right angle with 90 degree elbow. Its pretty stiff too so it shouldn't sag once I get the lights on there.

    davey's 15long peninsula

    I got the false wall and baffles siliconed in and water tested in the garage for a couple days. No leaks and the flow is running really well. I used 1/4" black acrylic from a local plastic shop. The back portion is 6" wide, leaving me with 18" for the display. The back corner will be a display...

    davey's 15long peninsula

    I am gonna have a false wall in there too so it might give it a little extra support...a little bit anyway :?:

    davey's 15long peninsula

    Well, kind of. I have seen others do it, but I am pushing my luck maybe. I did a water test for a couple days and it held without leaking, but that was without the extra weight of sand and rock and pressure from circulation. I am gonna run it for a couple days full water test with the pumps...

    davey's 15long peninsula

    I thought I would start my thread for my new tank. Its an all glass 15 gallon 24x12x12. I removed the top and bottom rims. That is it so far. Hopefully I will get the false wall in tonight and water tested this weekend. My 3 gallon picotope's contents are getting dumped in here and then its...

    My new Nano!!!

    My daughter Madeleine is 3 1/2 too and I love hearing her rattling off the names of the fish and coral, especially the montipora digitatas and the capricornis.

    need help with custom refugium

    I wasnt sure about this either but I tried it anyway. I really didnt want that pump in the display tank. It primes but it takes a minute or so and makes alot of bubble which dont get through to the tank too bad. There is a siphon effect when the pump is turned off. I want to drill a hole...

    need help with custom refugium

    I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum or not but I could use some help with my behind the`tank style refugium. Basically it is a hob fuge that doesn't hob. I made it with acrylic, it is 11 inches long x 4 inches wide x 11 inches tall and sits on the stand behind my 3 gallon...

    The Machine - 3 gallon Pico-reef

    Yeah, I have researched that because I was going to get a pom pom also, the shrimp will be fine with the pom poms. You dont need an anemone, they will host ricordea and kenya tree corals, or just kind of hang out in the open. They like to be in groups, they will hang out in the open more that...

    what would be best to stock my 2.5 gallon pic?

    I love my sexy shrimp however they so like to nibble on my zoa skirts if I dont feed them. What kind of light are you going to use?

    How much weight can my floor support?

    I am an architect and could give you some guidance here. Adding proper support underneath the house is going to be difficult. I would think of it as a last resort. You will want a good foundation there to spread the weight over the ground otherwise the wall might just sink into the dirt...
