See title, I have a 30g that I'm looking to upgrade, but having trouble finding a decent price. Beital's right by Park ridge but in NY has one on display but they want 390 for it which I feel is on the high side. Anyone got any ideas?

Howdy, Getting the itch to upgrade, I currently have an innovative marine nuvo 30g with a 20g sump underneath, but I want to upgrade my display. The stand I currently have is 36x24, so I'm wondering if anyone knows where I might find something larger that fits in that general area. I am...

Just checked alkalinity, and it's pretty on. I used the API kh test, and I had a light change at 8 drops and a stronger change at 9. I know that is in the lower range so I added reeffusion 2 to bring it up slightly. Not really sure what the issue could be still, might lose the zoas and xenia :-/

I bought my silicone from Absolutely Fish in Clifton, and it was Aqueon Glass Tank Aquarium 100% Silicone Sealant Caulk/glue, so I can't imagine it's the silicone itself. I rinsed it out and tested for leaks prior, and made sure to use RO/DI water in the sump as well. I don't think it's going...

Added a sump on Wednesday, matched the temperature pretty well, salinity was a point off and the corals really didn't like it. It seems like the torch, hammer and most of my bigger stuff will recover, my xenia seem pretty miserable though, along with the zoas. I'm going to leave everything for...

Small update - I ended up getting the eshopps overflow from Amazon and it fits, so that's problem number 1 solved. I have the aquarium and all materials needed but just waiting on my glass to be cut for baffles. First time I cut I used the dimensions the tank had listed instead of actually...

I'm almost positive he is a sea slug named Dermatobranchus cf. semistriatus if you want to look up more about him

Howdy all, So I've had this guy in my tank for a decent amount of time now, but he's starting to do a number on my GSP. He's been in the tank for about 4 months, and he's survived a crash once so he's fairly hardy. He has munched a few of my zoas as well, but mostly he hangs out in his...

I'd like to add a sump to my setup, but I'm worried I won't find an overflow box that fits. I know Eshops makes a nano, and the dimensions will fit for the back hang of a Nuvo 30gallon, but the water level is my concern. I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have any experience with eshop's...

Is this store specific or will they all honor this? I would like to add a sump to my DT and this would be a great opportunity

Here is a little bit of a better shot of him

I definitely want to swap out the baskets relatively soon. I currently am running mostly filter, one carbon and phosphate pads, but the carbon doesn't fit properly. I'm looking into the squarer filter baskets and I'd like to set up an overflow box in the remaining chamber. It's all a long...

The back of the tank is glass as well. It comes with a built in "sump" but it's not really useful in any sense. I am pretty sure I could fit a pvc overflow behind it, but I like that it looks nice, and it makes minimal noise as is. Out of curiosity, anyone know any secret spots for LPS? I...

I tried the manual upload before, it didn't like my file size. I'll try playing around with it some more. I was looking at the yasha goby in particular. I'm still going to let the tank ride for another month or so to make sure everything is nice and stable. I'll try to get a picture of the...

Can't seem to post photos of the tank from photobucket. In the meantime maybe this will work: photobucket.com/user/notblue/library/Tank
