    new baby

    Awesome! Congrats, she is beautiful :) Molly is a wonderful name. Be sure to keep her away from the aquarium and the salt water in your aquarium. There are many types of bacteria and pathogens in there.

    Skimmer Recommendations

    Grumble grumble grumble... Check out the Tunze DOC Skimmer 9410 just to think a bit different here. Great performance and has a better air water contact time then most skimmers over $600 It is just under $400. Or you could make your own skimmer :D Frank

    60 gallon frag system build

    Live stock? I couldn't even keep a betta alive in that thing, LOL! The project has taken a bit longer then expected but I was not planning on showing the filtration like I am now, so the plans have changed. That and that stupid skimmer thread have really thrown me into a tail spin~ I am...

    Aggressive fish keepers.

    The Hawaiian Trigger did like to bit me a lot. He taught me good husbandry. I rarely put my hands in that tank LOL! I wanted more sps and the Navarkius went rouge on me. I would still do triggers in a reef though. They were some of the coolest fish I have ever owned.

    I hold the stick and load the compound up on a wheel buffer and use it that way. There's nothing left when I am done but smooth clear plastic.

    The overflow hookups on your tank look solid also. The bulk heads look well made. I would replace that metal ring clamp with something plastic in the future. It's going to rust from the saltwater.

    Oceanic 60 gal design questions

    Hello reef rider, That is a fine tank to start off with. I am sure we can do something with that sump. It's looks to be just a standard trickle system sump. It's hard to tell though with the smoked acrylic. I bet it looks just like this inside This one I had running on a frag tank I grew...

    Thanks Scott, yeah Jim, I don't think there is another reefing site with so many fine wood workers on it. I do get a bit intimidated by DonW and Peppie. Those two are way more advanced then me.

    Aggressive fish keepers.

    I had an aggressive reef for about a year before I went back to tangs and damsels. The Triggers were my favorite and the angler was the coolest looking. Never had trouble growing coral with them. My favorite angel was the Navarkius.

    Oceanic 60 gal design questions

    Hello and welcome to RF :) Yeah, that is a good system to DIY (do it yourself) and start off with. Go for it if the price is right. I like the 60 gallon displays and am currently working on one right now. Pictures will be very helpful in guiding you on how to convert it. Basically your going...

    Just to cap off the door project, here is the end result. I will get some shots of them up on the house as soon as I have time. Now she has me building built in book shelves. Hopefully it will happen at her house and I can get back to my aquarium build in my shop. I plan on wrapping up the...

    Never used Novus before. I use compound sticks and load up a buffing wheel with it. Works like a charm. I get the sticks from ace hardware for $5 a pop. Dico® Plastic Buffing Compound (531-Pbc) - Wire Wheels & Buffs - Ace Hardware If you have the Novus and have done it before then just go that...

    Who makes the best all in one tank...

    Solana is avery cool looking tank. My LFS has one on display. The only issue I have with it is the pendant light stand. Major trouble waiting to happen. If you go that route then be sure to drill a hole through the stand pipe and bolt it. The way they have it the pipe can slip dropping the MH...
