Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
It's mocked up in the living room. I hate staring at an empty tank but it has to wait until I can at least order the GH overflow kit, drill and install. With the 20L that's being used as a temp tank for now, I MIGHT be able to put that under the Oceanic for a sump but not sure yet. That would...
Some inmates in the temp 20L. Yes, I need to vac the bottom.
The rock, a 3rd black and white (but a 4 stripe) damsel and a pseudochromi was transfered from the breakdown. The Gold Banded Maroon and the Staghorn Damsel I have had for 4+ years. The pseudo was out and about this morning but...
As some of you know, I retreated from the hobby last year due to unforseen circumstances. Last week, I had this Oceanic 58 with glass top fall into my lap. They got tired of taking care of it and offered it to me.
So my return journey begins...
Here is the tank as it sat in an office...
I was also used to the dursa overflow in my 75 that was DEAD quiet. I hear the GH ones can be quite noisy? For those of you that use this, how did you work your return line? Another drilled hole? Or hang over?
From Oceanic's site.
Is the glass in my aquarium tempered?The bottom pane of glass on all Oceanic tanks (drilled or not) is tempered except for the Ultimate series and custom drilled tanks. The sides, fronts, and backs are not tempered. Please keep in mind that any drilling of the tank or...
As seen in another thread, I have a 58 gallon that's not reef ready. I'm not fond of that at all since i'm used to a built in overflow that drains and returns from the bottom. I'm not too sure how I feel about aftermarket overflows. Can Oceanic tanks be drilled? If so, Which overflow kit...
I saw this earlier via this article. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japanese-aquarium-shows-off-mysterious-fish-with-clear-blood-8562479.html
Pretty interesting.
I have had no choice but to think about this since the system was thrown into my lap and it has to be out of that office this week. The plan popped into my head to sell off a rifle, "Jenny" that I built from the trigger up. Yes, I named an AR-15. Going that route would allow me to get...
Of course, my head is being flooded with ideas for this. Stopping the wheel at this second? LED's. Since i'm not made of money these days, i'm thinking chinese knock offs that some members here seem to be happy with. I'm no good with electronics so a DIY is out of the question (unless it's...
I appreciate that George. I will let you know. I'm actually thinking about selling one of my AR-15's (yes, all NJ legal) for funding a comback into this hobby. Not sure if I want to yet.
Or pick up an RR tank.. I need to check my shed to see what I have in there. I might have something I can make into a sump. I know i have a couple of small tanks out there. I just can't remember what they are.
