    Start of my Oceanic 215 build

    Hi Harry, Great looking tank and stand!!! I have an Oceanic 135 with oak stand and canopy so I am familiar with the large center brace..More times than not it gets in my way when tending to any rock/corals directly under or near it. My suggestion would be to keep much of the area under the...

    Curing Live Rock

    Hi Lou, I'd just remove the loose stuff and any obviously decaying matter such as sponges turning a "whitish" color etc. Since it'll take a number of weeks to fully cure, you could remove anything else that looks bad when doing water changes. Try to stack/spread the pieces in a way that will...

    Acrylic prices going up?

    Hi Any other time, I'd say it's a sales ploy....But with oil prices at $99 + a barrel, he's probably telling the truth... I've noticed that the prices of petroleum based products have gone up a lot recently, eg. trash bags, etc. Dom

    Does anyone use a mud bottom in their fuge?

    Hi..For what it's worth, I have a small (very small) fuge as part of my 9 gal Nano and I use Fiji Gold Mud and grow a little Chaeto once in a while adding some pods. The tank seems to be doing well with a couple of small fairy wrasses, a small blenny and a few zoos, mushrooms and blasto and...

    water proofing fishroom

    My experience with flooding is primarily with filling storage tanks. First, I had a shop some years ago and had a huge vat to store water for treatment and addition to both the SW and FW display tanks. On occasion I would forget that the vat was being filled and would go home only to come in the...

    A little disappointed with Dr. Mac Corals

    Hi All, A few obsevations based on this thread's contents.... 1...Buying livestock online is risky even from reputable vendors with good track records. Lots of things are at issue from differences over how large a "medium" coral should be to its actual appearance relative to the fabulous...

    Lighting Question

    Hi Nice canopy!! It seems to me that the mix of T5's and PC's is appropriate for the types of corals you have and want to keep. Also, the total wattage is enough given your tank size and height. On the face of it, I think there might be a touch too much blue for my taste. I'd be inclined to go...

    current setup

    Beautiful arrangement of tanks...like the idea of the cichlid tank...From the looks of the gravel (dolomite/crushed coral?) the tank is for African Cichlids. If so, very colorful fish with interesting behavior patterns, As long as the reef tank is doing well and maintenence is not too difficlt...

    Advice from big tank owners 150+

    Hi I have a 135 (72x18x24h) and wish it was wider every day. A 180 is 24" high and if you do not put a canopy on top, this depth is easy to work with even with a 33"h stand!!! Only afer I added an 8"h or so canopy for cosmetic reasons did it become a little more difficult to work on. I now use...
