www.allelectronics.com sells cheap computer fans, can than just take a power supply from say an old cell phone or something along those lines, splice wires together, fan done. Good post outlining exactly how to do this here. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=202552

I don't know about the brittles but I think your tank has alot more color in those pictures w/ those new bulbs, I like it. Did you take that drive down to mr. coral this past weekend?

People ship corals & fish all the time so I wouldn't worry to much about the livestock, put them into coolers, transport to new home, toss a powerhead / heater in while you setup the tank. Keep the live rock & sand as covered as possible in water so you don't have much die off & start another...

Ed I'm sitting here doing nothing, if you need help this morning let me know, I have a few hours before wife & kid get home.

Sounds good, I was thinking dumping a capful of marine snow in and hoping it hits one of the 5 little corals was maybe not ideal, the hermits might enjoy it some but still not ideal. I'll get some mysis and a syringe / long thing tube thing and see if I can do it that way. I take it they'll be...

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...

I'm thinking of plumbing a tube out the side of my trash running to the sump in the basement floor, if I forget the Ro unit is on it will just fill to that point and start emptying into the sump. I already dumped 10+ gallons on the floor when the tube going into my trash can popped off and laid...

I feel the opposite for Lesner, I wanted him to win and the amount of trash talking Mir said before the match would tick me off to. Mir said all he does is two inch punches and hit's like his sister. Well Mir felt what Lesners 2 inch punches can do. I'm not sure what Mir's plan even was in the...

I'm running a Nova Extreme 4 bulb T5 on my 28 gallon using 4x GEISEMANN bulbs 1 Midday 2 Aquablue+ 1 Pure Actinic It's like the sun is in my basement but it's very very white, I'm not sure I really like it. These are brand new bulbs, when they die I'm going to switch to the Ati/api (forgetting...

I don't believe Mir has a chance. Lesnar is just to big & strong for him and I'm sure he's been training submission defence constantly. Cool on your partner fighting, my friend does alot of crossfit workout in south jersey and one of the guys he trains with does MMA as well, fought 2 months...

Tropic Marin regular was 60$ at allqautics in Hamilton 51$ after 15% club discount. They didn't have Pro while I was in there atleast. Not sure if that was a 160 gallon or 200, it was a heavy buckets worth is all my arms remember.

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...

I've read conflicting things on the water change during the cycle, I plan to do a small one on Sunday because I plan to add another 3-5 lbs of rock, 4 lbs of sand and swap the pump at that time, figure it's as good a time as any since I'll have my hands in the tank. I have my skimmer running to...

Heh, talked to you on Saturday Sunny, I purchased live rock from Phyl on Saturday as well, put it in the tank after the meeting, I'm running ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 5, ph: 8.2 my first tank as well. I can't wait to get stuff in but personally am giving it a few weeks. I've seen some...

I just figured 150 from garf's website plugging in the #'s. I'm getting the tank for free. Where I work has a marine display and is upgrading it so they're giving me the tank. I know the tank held water for a few years until it was just recently taken down. It's very hard to tell the condition...

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...

My stopping point will be time, space & spouse. Once the maintenance time is to prohibitive, I run out of space to reasonably place tanks, and my wife is starting to mention moving so justifying spending money on a huge tank that I'll have to figure out how to move is out.

ricwilli: It's ok, I think my wife would murder me if shot electric bill up w/ the 2x250's anyways, keep posting :) Ed: Yeah my wife told me allquatics was near the circle to, looking at their website it sounds like they're moving, are they still open at the moment? I didn't know about icecap...
