So I was thinking of getting a DSLR extension tube for fun- Who's used one? Recommendations?

My tank hood is great. I have access to the front, not much of a problem. But it has always limited me when I want to clean certain parts of the tank. I had access, but now I wanted major access, or at least try. I remembered my thread on RC, and someone had added a sliding rack to facilitate...

approximately how many drips/minute and how many bubbles/min do you normally aim for? Given the bioload and calcium uptake, what works for you?

LOL, it's a madhouse in that forum. Everytime I log on (every 10 minutes), there's 5 new topic posts, lol. Came in here for a breather, and then going back in again!

bored after I got home from work, so I took a few shots of the fish and a few coral tonight- enjoy! and a cut from the pic above- Two corals only:

I'm adding this thread here since even though Vodka dosing may not be considered advanced, it is to me. I will be documenting this thread with a pictorial, and posting along the way with my progress and or hinderances, my method to my madness of "unorthodoxness" and hopefully those who...

Was looking at some old pics saved on some discs and came across my efflo from december 2006 (was 6-8 months old already at the time) and was astonished to see that it's grown and then realized how slow it actually grew, lol. Here it is: DEC 2006 (6-8 months old) OCT 2008 (tonight, a little...

Yes, it is 4:20 in the morning. I finally had it with the hair algae. Months of watching the wavy green stuff and plucking every week for the past 4 months due to a bad batch of salt, snails dying, corals getting choked, I tore the tank down today after getting out bed still fighting mild flu...

The trees grow weird in La Jolla- they grow sideways?!? :D The seawall where the seals hang out. As soon as noon came, people came. As soon as people came, some seals left. As soon as Merv came with his camera, almost all left. I was left with 4. These guys were like, quit it already...

Just got back from L.A. visiting my girl- stopped by Long Beach, then La Jolla (apparently pronounced as la-hoya, LOL) and then San Diego zoo. This thread is for the Long Beach aquarium :D Enjoy! One of the first displays as soon as you walk in, a pacific coast biome 2nd (or 3rd?)...

My girl and I stopped at the Apple Store at the Grove in Los Angeles earlier today to exchange something. (I'm here visiting until Sunday). As I was checking my email on one of the imacs, we were gently asked by one of the associates if they could use the computer real quick to activate an...

I've been contemplating on going with a "generic" type bulb- just for fun From my general understanding, there are only a handful of aquaria type bulb manufacturers out there, and I would like to see if anyone has tried a no-name or less known bulb in the market specific to our hobby...

I just got back on Friday from vaca. Went to Grand Cayman. I still got a TON of photos to sort through and a handful of reef videos taken with my trusty underwater olympus hand held camera. For now, here are a few teaser photos of where we went.... more to come in the next few days... first...

My skimmer wasn't skimming as good last week. Same this week. Some days it was nice and rich, some days it overflowed back in the tank (I have the effluent dump in a 2 liter bottle inside the sump just in case it overflowed) since I have an autotopoff. I had the windows open both weeks since...

Would a mod please sticky what water parameters are supposed to be in range of- There are quite a few questions on the board about why is this happening to my coral/fish/invert and the initial responses are usually the same: "What are your parameters?" "Check your parameters" I think if we all...
