    softys in a frag tank

    quick one: what problems would I have keeping xenia and ricordia in frag tank together? I know leathers or GSP with pretty much anything else is a bad idea is this true of mushrooms / ric too? I'm guessing it's not as easy as just not mixing soft with hard, are there any major rules I should...

    prop tank lighting

    thanks for the input everyone - I've come to an informed choice... I'm going to go with T5's 4 of them in 2 differant units, so either around 110watts or around 220 watts depending. This would be over ~35 gallons at a depth of 12-14inches and would mean a max WPG (for what it's worth) of about...

    prop tank lighting

    thanks steve, The idea of a prop tank has really caught my imagination - I've been doing a lot of reading on GARF and I'm testing a small reverse carlson I've made from PVC pipe to give nice wave action in the tank.

    I'm new to the site!

    hey krish, can you explain how your overflow works with the airpump attached? I'm guessing it sucks air out of the top of the U bend so it doesn't break syphon but how have you rigged it? what's the black and silver blob thing do? :) dave.
