    Sump improvement

    Personally I think substrate in the fuge is just something more to clean. Mine has a piece of eggcrate on the bottom with some live rock, a couple of snails, a small hermit or two, and some macroalgae. Light-wise I was running a clip on fixture from HD or Lowes with a 5500-6500 CFL bulb. I just...

    Skimmer discussion

    So, in researching my next moves on the new tank I found a few interesting items on skimmers and how they relate to the system’s return pump. In general, most say that: 1. You should have a skimmer rated (at least) to your bioload 2. You should match return pump to the skimmer rating...

    Tom's 250g+ System Build

    I think it fills the whole addition. Those aren't windows, they're viewing ports.

    Anem question

    So, upgraded to the 90. Moved 70# of live rock over from old tank and added about 40# that I had curing for a few months. Totally new water. Would like to add an anem at this point for my clowns. I know the tank needs to be established but am curious on the exact definition. So, is the tank now...

    What is your favorite fish in your tank???

    I had a lawnmower blennie a while back and loved his curiosity. He'd sit on his rocks watching me as I watched him. Unfortunately I was pretty meticulous in maintenance, too meticulous I think, and he went bladder up. Once the new tank is established a bit more, I'll pick up another. The rest...

    Urchin & mangroves

    Shortspine or Rock urchin. Like this... Saltwater Aquarium Inverts for Marine Reef Aquariums: Shortspine Urchin About the size of a tennis ball. Love it, but I put a lot of tall arches in the new 90 build, hate to see one come down onto the glass. 3 rooting mangroves, about a year old, leaves...

    Shallow Reef Tank

    Deep Blue 65g shallow reef-ready rimless. Made a great reef, would make an excellent frag tank. Perfect condition, no scratches. Includes plumbing and 3 chamber 20g sump. Will throw in unskinned 40" stand if you'd like it (if not its my new chopsaw table). $150

    No idea what this is...

    I fixed your post for you. Wonder if I can break out the 10g and grow a tank full of this stuff...

    No idea what this is...

    I was sifting through the sand in the old tank (hoping to find my giant spaghetti worm, which I didnt) and found a small rock with a few zoas on it as well as a few things I initially thought were some form of red bubble algae. But, they appeared to have some sort of lighter pink mottled pattern...

    Raising Blackworms

    Yep, plain old gravel. I picked up a bag of natural gravel at Petco for a few bucks.
