Wow! Mark here, new guy. Looking forward to watching this come together. Good luck!

I'll see if one of them wants to become a shop rep then offer healthcare and coffee. Chalk bass or fairy wrasse, which is the weakest negotiator?

Its been a week now and they still haven't constructed anything out of the PVC.

They've been in there 3 days and are already coming to the glass anticipating food. They've got as healthy an appetite as my 4 year old. Thanks for the advice. I'm with 9 on the non-medication front if at all possible, but I'm not skilled enough yet to pick up on any subtle indications of...

Residents are a small fairy wrasse (1.5") and a small chalk bass (1"). Tank is 20L with hob filter (no carbon), UV (as I had it around and I'm not medicating atm), heater, airline, powerhead, some filter material from main tank, and some PVC so they can build things in their free time. Thanks...

Hi all, hoping for some advice. I just picked up 2 new mouths to feed and they're in the QT at the moment. Fish were picked up at Tropaquarium and both seem to be visually healthy. They've been in for 3 days now. I dropped a line in RC and the advice I received back involved the tank transfer...

2x Maxspect Mazarras. I ordered an over the tank mounting kit for them, I'll post a pic when I have it set up for a test run. No idea on corals yet. I have a few zoanths right now. Once the tank is set up and all residents are in I'll start doing my research (I'm a bit uninformed on the coral...

Slowed down a bit this week. Made a light purchase from a fellow member (thanks!) and am awaiting delivery of a new mount, and have QT'd two new arrivals to get ready for the new tank, a fairy wrasse and a chalk bass. 20L with 30g rated HOB filter (sponge with no carbon), media from...

Just picked some up.

New skimmer, a Reef Octo 110 classic in sump… Had the lumber cut for the stand today… The frame completed about 2-3 hours later, lying on its side, the 10 inch panel is for a dedicated electronics compartment… Tank on top and sump under to ensure all will fit OK...

BAckdated as I've just got my pic posting clearance... So, here’s the 40b I’ve got running atm. Tank is nice but it does not suit the room and the stand is OK at best. With renovations to the house being done, I decided to hit up the tank as well. Here’s some stuff. The new...

I've been looking for affordable and reasonably reliable LEDS for a couple of weeks now. I've read all the posts, seen all the sights, and am now thinking myself in circles overanalyzing everything and in a rut on moving forward. Many of these Chinese based LEDs appear to be exactly the same...

Hi. About to make the jump to an LED purchase early next week and was wondering if anyone had anything available. I'll be lighting a shallow reef 48x24x12 and was looking at a few of the Chinese makes for the time being due to budget restrictions (I'd like to keep around $400). Looking for at...

Someone drops a gallon of milk on the floor and you scoff and say, 'Amateur'

I was going to begin a 500 word TotT post on starting my new set-up, but am being informed... So I removed any curses, leaving me with 27 words and a few pics. I'm guessing I'm unable to post any pics or links to pic-URLs as a new member? Can anyone enlighten me? Cheers, M

Wrote up a tale of the tank post with 3 pics from Photobucket of the current and future tank. Unfortunately I was unable to create the thread as URLs seem to be restricted with new members. I'll keep a journal and when I'm allowed to post I'll just backdate it. And hckr, I'll see you tomorrow...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'll look into starting a 'tale of the tank' soon, as The new tank is about to become a big project. Empire, I couldn't find a stand tall enough to display the tank properly so I'm going to give it a shot building my own. Nice to be onboard

Mark here. Brick, NJ. Been roaming about in here and at Reefcentral for months, if not a year, while researching and building my first reef tank (40b). Now I'm lurking about a bit more with a transition soon to a Deep Blue 60g shallow reef. Just wanted to introduce myself.
