http://diyreef.com/shop/index.php Appears they're going out of business, some good prices on bulbs like ATI, Geissman, etc, the sump & skimmer prices look good to. Just a heads up as the listed quantities are low. FYI - sgarron posted this already here...

I'm setting up a tank for macro algae, shrimp, and maybe a few gobies, no corals. I'm just wondering what type of cheap lighting would work for this, do I want MH / T5 or can I do something cheaper? Also I'm assuming I don't need an incredible amount of flow? It's a 10 gallon triangle tank AIO...

Does anyone have any experience in building concrete furniture or countertops? There are places that build beautiful countertops, table tops, furniture out of concrete & I'd like to build a stand that is basically skinned of concrete / made of it for a custom acrylic tank shaped like a triangle...

I'm now upto 4x after last night's incident and it's getting reallllly frustrating. Last night I went to make Ro/Di water and the clamp holding the waste water line into the sink got jiggled, I wandered off and came back 4 hours later to find water shooting all over the basement and roughly a...

I have some rocks covered in Aiptasia, I know people boil, bake, microwave em but the wife doesn't want me to use the kitchen so I was thinking I could throw my rock on the grill. Any forseeable problems? Any precautions you think I should take? Roughly how long do you think it would take to...

I need some help Id'ing some things that came on my LR from the store ... I'm hoping hoping hoping they're some kind of zoa & not something bad, I tried getting a few picts, please let me know what you think.

I was sort of in the area so stopped in. Ugh. I didn't look at the dogs / cat section but the smell was horid. The saltwater section has shrunk alot since I was there 8 years ago. (rough estimate). The corals were overpriced though there were a couple that weren't too bad looking. (2 hammers & a...

Got home from work yesterday and my Plate was a little annoyed at getting slimed by my Flower Pot coral so he had moved over a bit. I have a loose clump of roughly 8 zoa's that float around the bottom of my tank & get kicked about by the hermits. When I went to bed I found the clump of zoa's...

I know Plate Corals can get large. Mine is in an optimal spot for pellets to land on it and it wolfs them down daily. My hermits will trample any and all corals in my tank to get to food, they will not walk on the Plate Coral however. Can a Plate Coral eat a hermit? I've seen pictures of a mini...

Cleaned tank last night w/ mag-float, noticed small scratch along front curve of 24 gallon aquapod, woke up this mornign, heard strange noise in basement, tank cracked right down the left front curve. Had roughly 19 gallons of water on the basement carpet, I have a 28 gal and a 2.5 gal but both...

Well just wanted to post up a few picts of my tanks. I have a 2.5 gall, 28 gall & a 24 gal aquapod. The aquapod I just bought off a fellow reefer a week ago so some of the corals went into my 28 & 2.5 & some are still recovering in the 24, hopefully all of them make it. Thought I'd toss up a few...

So I picked up my first corals last night, I really like LPS so mostly going that route. I currently have no fish but I'll be fixing that tomorrow (friday) when I pick up 2 clownfish. My tank is cycled and while I did a ton of research on my coral I just don't really get how to target feed them...

Just out of curiosity how many other UFC fans are out there? UFC 100 is Saturday night and it has a good line up. Talked the wife into letting me have people over for the first late night party since having our 2 month old. Having like 12 people, food, beer, etc, going to be a long Sunday I...

So I picked up a 150 gallon acrylic tank for free. This tank was setup by it's previous owner for a few years with a canister filter & just overhead lights. It's a custom built thing and is scratched up some because students kept it clean. I have it outside filled with water & it's holding fine...

Anyone know what a 1/2" thick acrylic tank, 72" length, 20" width, 24" tall would cost roughly? I have a good deal on one lined up I believe so just checking. I guess it's 150 gallons by those dimensions. Also I assume 1/2" thick is good enough for this tank? Thanks. -Ian

Well I've been keeping track of my setup on a blog made for my tank. I don't really feel like reposting everything right this second but if you scroll down you can see it from the start at www.ianinreefland.blogspot.com I've been working on making the stand and getting the tank up for hte past...
