Anyone got one? We just rearranged the living room and theres a small open space a tank would fit nicely in.
Might even consider flake/frozen eating dwarf horses.
Little 7g for a beta, 10-12 neon tetras, a crazy plecki that Sponge hooked us up with, and a few snails that have now turned into 100.
Few small pieces of driftwood and a couple of no maintenence plants.
Although they've fallen out a bit with all the new tech out there, I can't recommend Sea-swirls enough.
180 degree rotating pattern driven by your pump of choice. I've got 2 on my back wall pushing in 500gph each to create some chaotic flow.
Don't think I'll ever run another tank without them.
I...
Welcome aboard!
Dave and I are the good looks and intelligence of the crew, you can tell because we respond first, as all good looking intelligent people do.
Sponge gave a thumbs up, but he's sorta on the outskirts trying to get in.
Seriously, we have a great community here, wide and varied...
Troubleshooting my RODI today and found my in water to be 147tds. Further investigation regarding town water showed it to be in a pretty sad state.
Decided to run a new RODI for drinking water under the kitchen sink with an 8g upgraded holding tank.
Figure this will supply enough drinking water...
Grats on the save!
I propose that while netted it will settle exactly where you like it then, within 48 hours, it will migrate to the least visible area in your tank. ;)
This is sorta cool. Apparently models aren't just models anymore, a load of kits offer 'serious modeler' upgrades.
In my case I piked up an upgrade kit for the D-7 that included the LEDs, modified plastic parts to diffuse the light properly, and photoetched parts.
With some research, seems...
Kit 2 just came in. :)
Its a Klingon D-7 at 1:350 scale, which puts this puppy somewhere around 3 feet.
Picked up the LED lighting and effects kit as well.
Had a similar situation with introducing a gladiator quite a few years back when they were the fashion. NIce as they look they're quite aggressive (guess its in the name). Lost a 3yo clown to one, same deal. If you're going to keep the gladiator be aware that she'll probably be hyper aggressive...
Mmmm.. Cheato needs space to tumble a bit and needs a good source of direct light. I'm concerned that putting such a small amount in the cage will cause it to brown and release phosphates, which sorta defeats the purpose of cheato and may harm the horses.
Any artificial alternative?
Maybe a base...
Happy to see this is coming to fruition!
Still wondering what jabbing you're going through as your wife won the tank, but as a married reefer I can speculate and sympathize ;)
Hoping to see an epic build thread.
OOOH! Thats Nice! Can I have it!?
:)
Seriously, I've always been a softie/zoa guy. Mainly because I'm a lazy chilled out reefer.
I follow a pattern that many here who know me know, where I go from multiple nanos, very successful with zoas and shrooms to a larger tank or two where I expand out...
So, this is a bit odd.
I woke this morning thinking about the tank.
I've been through many tanks over the years and have always preferred nanos 60g or under.
And I've always loved zoas.
I go through cycles of going bigger then downsizing after 1-2 years. But, a decent sized zoa breeder with an...
My gift is a quick scan of the smilies and sending all the ones I saw and initially thought 'WTF is that?'

Heya J,
Been down with potential surgery myself and tank has gone to pot as I haven't been able to do water changes in 3 months, nevermind that general feeling of illness and disinterest in more trivial things outside rest and recovery.
What type of algae does your tank have?
I'm over-run with...
Got a 5g set up and cycled and invert only. Decided that, as its going to be sorta dirty, maybe I can try to get back to some zoas.
As many may know I had massive zoa colonies and during an ill run of events, they were reduced to nada.
I'm running sps now but to be honest, I'd drop the 120g SPS...
