    Alright, I made a league "Reef Frontiers takes Baseball". PM me your emails if you want in! Edit: I will be travelling a fair amount today, so it might take a few hours for me to get you in. Sorry! (no internet in the sky) Edit Edit: I made another thread just for this

    ~~72 Gallon Tank Automation~~

    Alright, so being a computer science major and a tank enthusiast, I have decided to try and build my own "reef controller". I don't know if anyone is familiar with the arduino, but I think that is the microcontroller I will be using. Using this, I will write my own code to allow the tank to...

    My 72 Gallon Bowfront Reef Tank

    This tank no longer houses coral, however. Coral simply requires too much maintenance given I am gone for 2-3 months at a time. FOWLR is a better way to go for now. Eventually, once I finish up college and have my own place, I will get back into the coral game!

    My 72 Gallon Bowfront Reef Tank

    Serpent star has been gone for years, haha. I don't think I owned him for more than a week. I don't house small clownfish anymore. While I still haven't seen the eel eat a fish, I am playing it safe and housing larger fish. Right now I am housing a huge black ocellaris clownfish. Thanks for...

    My 72 Gallon Bowfront Reef Tank

    Always used a 10 gallon sump with this tank. Sump houses heater/skimmer/phosphate reactor/media reactor and all that kind of stuff.

    My 72 Gallon Bowfront Reef Tank

    Purchased a brand new skimmer and a new return pump! Excited to get this thing going right again. Will be back in Washington on Saturday, with equipment and parts arriving between Monday and Wednesday. A lot of tank work in the near future.

    My 72 Gallon Bowfront Reef Tank

    Alright, I left for college and the tank is still running. It has been having some issues, so I am going to work on automating the process. I am going to install an ro/di auto shut off that will fill up a 55 gallon barrel and an auto top off that will pump water from the barrel to the tank...

    72 Gallon Bowfront Aquarium -$1000

    Alright, here is the story: I have a 72 gallon bowfront aquarium. After leaving for college my parents tried to keep it running but it just isn't their thing, and from the sounds of it the tank is getting in worse condition. I just received news that the return pump went out, so I would like to...

    75 or 55 Gallon?

    Until the 90 is not a 180! Then you start seeing Surgeonfish that need 250 and suddenly 180 is too small...

    75 or 55 Gallon?

    With the 55, you will always regret the lack of depth. With the 75, you will regret nothing.

    New get together pig roast? frag swap? something?

    I would love to get to know some of the faces I talk to on here. I am heading down south for some tropical diving in June, but if this doesn't collide with that then I will certainly be present!

    New Fish

    I acclimated them over the course of a period and a half o.O I don't have an extra heater, but the tank water from the bucket (see I floated the bags in the bucket of pure tank water) was being replenished over the period of time the acclimation was happening once or twice to make sure the...

    New Fish

    So I decided to try with Liveaquaria again. I tried once before and the fish all arrived dead (I am assuming the box was shook too much; I remember there being evidence of internal bleeding) and this left me hesitant. But regardless, I decided to order a male anthias and a foxface rabbitfish. I...
