    Supplemental Lighting

    I have a 30L with a black box 165w- lighting on the ends are low- don't want to buy another big light ( another Bb won't fit anyway ) suggestions, or a light you're willing to sell at a deep discount - or for free- just see nothing on amazon

    Oops I did it again

    I don't know how many times I've said- that's the last one- coral or fish. Then I get an email that the one I wanted is available again- But I can't justify the shipping cost for just one- by the time I get to checkout my shopping cart is over $100- or I spend another $30-40 so I get free...

This time of year temps are right around where you'd want them, some bubblewrap will help keep temps from getting too high or low- I would think that the hardier corals- zoas, palys- especially frags with a few heads would ship fine...

    In Search of....

    I know we all have certain fish we want in our tanks and we visit local shops as often as we can- yes need to support them, but I realized that the fish I'm looking for aren't what most of you guys want- you got much bigger tanks lol. So I thought I'd start a thread with my wish list- If you...
