Thanks all. Picked up the Eheim feeder and built a RFBF-ring. Joy in Mudville.

Having seen your work I'm looking forward to watching the stand come together as much as the tank. Please keep pics coming. Also, you should tell everyone that you killed those animals in close combat with the hatchet thats hanging above them.

Here's what info I have on the 10g sump fuge... And a vid of it working... http://vid1328.photobucket.com/albums/w540/Ozone001/MVI_0535_zpsjragj5gr.mp4

We put the feeders out last weekend in Brick and already have a few regulars.

Thanks for the info gents. I'll go pick up an Eheim this weekend.:)

I interpret that as four to five days sans food is not an option and I should either buy a device to feed the wet-ones or ask a neighbor to drop a pre-determined chunk of stuff in the tank.

Hey all. Hope everyone's enjoying this weather. I've been feeding the kids on a daily basis for the past few weeks and they seem quite happy with the arrangement. Next week we're disappearing from Tuesday afternoon to Saturday night/Sunday morning. Four to five days without food shouldn't be...

Welcome aboard. I've been doing this for under a year myself and have been on a considerable learning curve so I can't offer too much practical advice for the long term. Matter of fact, half the following advice may be garbage. But, I'll try. The sooner you get to that sump with a protein...

It has taken offense and is currently fashioning a ladder from the fuge eggcrate. I'm going to leave the front door open for it tonight as I can not afford door repairs at this time. Be alert.

He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones! - Tim the Enchanter Emerald crab hitcher, big guy, like 2" round. Will get bigger as he has apparently eaten, or at least killed, in the past week: 1 smaller emerald crab, 2 ceriths, and 1 turbo. Deaths were a...

Gone.

These, model 4102, adjustable from 36 to 48" (though I wouldn't go more than 42"): http://current-usa.com/aquarium-led-lights/orbit-marine-fixtures/orbit-marine/ Had one on a 40b and was doing well. Added a second and was doing great, some decent growth on zoas (all I had in that tank was...

Well, that was quick...pending

So... 40b (back painted black) 20L 10g converted to sump Stand for 40b (the vertical slat type, modified top to fit 40b and put 3x coats of stain into it, it looks good) Want a 40b setup? Take the 40b, 10g sump (that fits in the modified cabinet), the modified cabinet, and I'll throw...

With spring approaching the tank is taking a back burner at the moment so I can foucus on the garden. I'll keep the stand skinning for a rainy day (along with changing the sockets, painting the bathroom, wallpapering the hall, etc...) Saying that, finished the aquascaping and have a number of...

Thanks for the replies guys. Figured it was probably the epoxy and glad to have it confirmed. Bag of carbon going into sump as soon as I finish this message. It's nice to have a 'WTF now?' moment that doesn't require towels and/or credit card.

Hey all, I have a reef octo 1000 in sump. Its been running great since the start. Yesterday I spent some time with the tank. I had a rusty looking mold/slime over everything in the sump, oddly enough it wasn't present in the main tank. Did a major clean (it cleaned up very easily) and got it...

Stopped by Rob's earlier tonight. He was overly generous insisting I take all the frags 'so that the other nut-jobs won't show up'. Great guy, had a blast and could have hung out longer had I not had my 4 year old in tow. Beautiful home, family, and a couple of great tanks. But I'm sure you guys...

Gyre :) Put a 130 in a 4' tank a couple weeks back. Have 2 rock islands with alcoves. Frag with 5 Xenia heads and a Green Star Polyp placed on bed for acclimation, in second alcove, 3' away from Gyre. Gyre set at 80%. Next morning it had blown off 3 of the Xenia and ripped about half the GSP off...

Looks like a stomatella, a snail with a soft 'shell'. Good cleaners, reef-safe, nocturnal, hunted by peppermint shrimp and 'lined' wrasses in underfed tank, easily reproduce if they survive long enough, if threatened they drop their hind end like a lizard dropping its tail. Source: did some...
