I found a company right around the corner from my house that quoted me the same price without shipping as glasscages with shipping. Plus the guy said they will probably be ready by the end of the day or possibly the next. Can't beat that. The company is glass guys and they are in Glendora...

I knew of glasscages, but i did not know that their custom panes were that cheap. I've sent them an email. I'll probably call a couple local guys just for S&Gs too. I already have the tank, but thanks for the heads up.

I'm putting together a new 120G to replace my current 55G setup. I'm going to be using the beananimal tripple redundant fail-safe design in conjunction with a toothless coast to coast weir. So I need to find a glass shop to cut a few pieces for me to make the overflow box. Does anyone have any...

depends on how big a piece you are interested in.

I have a birds nest colony that is growing like absolute gangbusters. this is a pic i snapped (or uploaded to flickr) on December 16 2009 this is what it looks like as of January 17 2010. so as you can see I'll need to prune it in my tiny tank sooner or later. PM me if you're interested.

I recently switched to the BRS 2 part due to high pH from using kalk. i'm sure that everything enjoys both the lower pH and the higher Ca/KH. other than that I'm getting better at keeping the skimmer tuned and in the last 4 months I have started and am just now getting the hang of the amounts...

So whats new... I moved my 12G nano inhabitants into the 55G and shut down the 12G. So now i have a TON of rock in the 55, but i think it looks really good this full. I lost a damsel to what i have to imagine was some territorial dispute shortly after the move. So now I've got the BTA and...

I do hte same thing as Mr X. Kalk paste. That kills them, but there are always others hiding that pop out later.

i have a few adapters on my washing machine's source fixture. it is basically a Y adapter for a hose and then a brass nipple that takes the hose threads to the size of the RODI.

Hi all. Haven't posted status in a while. So how about some pics! I've been getting the hang of calcium/magnesium dosing and it has really made the Bird's Nest take off! I also had the opportunity to witness the lobo eating a mushroom that was a little too close.

i had them in my tank when i first added some of that caribisea? live sand. haven't seen them since.

I got a 20 for my standard 55G. almost wish i had gotten the 40 because i still have to supplement the flow on the far side of the tank with a leftover koralia.

do they look like this? http://www.advancedaquarist.com/images/sept2003/sesamethumb.jpg I have these, they are nerite snail eggs. About the size of a sesame seed.
