Read about this on another site. Apperently you upload all your tank info and it helps keep track of your tank and keep it healthy. You can even input into a controller. I am sure some of you reef geeks will enjoy this.

So we picked up our new tank today form AO from their tank promo. It has a center overflow and is drilled with 3/4 inch and 1 inch bulkheads. The stand is pretty cool and has doors on three sides so you can access it from any side. We are breaking down the 20 gallon tank and everything will go...
We live on the second floor in an apartment that is over a business. This essentially means that we cannot reinforce the floor at all so this has pretty much kept us in the nano range (nothing bigger than a 30). Of course this means we want a bigger tank and we just saw the deal that AO is...
So this past Saturday Nicole (NikkiT) and I got married thereby establishing year 0. We are now down in Disney world enjoying 10 days down here. We will post some pics when we get home of their fish tanks in Epcot. Our camera died because it sucks, so there is not a ton but we got some cool...
We just picked up a beautiful gogonian from trop (The sale was still going on). We have it in the middle of the tank under a 250w MH and have two koralia 2s on either side of it to provide flow. So far so good as the polyps have full extension. We noticed though that the tip have no polyps and...
We had a mini meeting today at Trop where they happened to have a 325% sale off of all livestock including corals. We were there with Reefernets, Whitebird1, jonathon, and of course harlequinreef who was working. Had a great time and talked up MACNA and the club to someone not in the club who...
Our BTA had found a nice home in a cave in a piece of live rock, but then we reshuffled the live rock. Apparently he did not like where he was so he took a walkabout. I came home from work and saw him trying to decide if the glass or the live rock was better to mount too.
Just remember every coral you are putting in your tank, is like putting every tank it has ever been in into your tank.

Many people want to know what the difference is of appearance of 10k vs 14k bulbs. Recently I upgraded from 10k to 14k phoenix MH bulbs. Here are the pics of the tank with both bulbs so you be the judge.
10k Bulbs:
14k Bulbs:
Well there you have it, and if the glass looks dirty that...
We have a 250 double ended MH pendant and are trying to take out the bulbs. We cannot figure out how to do this. Is there a trick or are we just that mechanically disinclined? Can someone out of the kindness of their hearts please help us out with this.
In our 30G we had a pair or picasso clowns, an orchid dottyback, a mandarin, and a goby/pistol shrimp pair. They all got along just fine and the orchid was never ever ever ever aggressive. In fact he hid most of the time whenever we were around. We added a coral beauty angelfish to the mix and...
So we have had the BTA in the tank roughly 2 weeks. It has settled into a nice piece of live rock with a big whole in it so it is very secure. We started noticing that it was looking a little funny and then we came home to this.
We are pretty excited.
Basically I wanted to start a thread to help other people who were interested in building a salt water tank but did not know where to start. I will start.
Tank stand lights: juice44
Fish: Tropiquarium, Aqua Oceans
Corals: smcooler, GregW, jonathon, Mr. Coral, Aqua SD, Dr. Mac, OG II...
Why do we feel the need to constantly upgrade and add things to a system that is pretty much perfect in the first place? Our 30g has been up and running for a few months and everything was going dandy, hell the mandarin we put in there is fattening up. So our Picasso clowns started to host our...
Random maybe stupid question:
I put a small zoo colony on a piece of live rock (about 20 polyps) which has now grown to over a 100 polyps and takes up a few square inches of the live rock. I know live rock hosts bacteria to help in filtration and the more surface area the better. My question is...
