I was expecting you to do an entry.

I would think you would want to reuse the water at first or 50% new to keep the bacteria in it . Then probably move half the rock over and start your rockwork with the rocks you want to use as the base, and then work your way up. After the rock is in place, move you filter equipment and then...

I decided to replace the glass with a grate. The front section on each side is separate so I can lift it out to feed or place my hand in the tank.

My tank came with 2 glass tops and a T8 florescent fixture. I replaced the bulb with an actinic bulb and supplemented with two 36" Orbit Marine light strips that sit just over the tank. Unfortunately, algae grows on the glass to reduce the light getting to the tank. The glass does tend to...

I feed lightly 2 times a day, but occasionally omit the 2nd feeding. I feed a mix of pellet sizes, with some flakes and coral candy mixed in. With the power filter and protein skimmer, algae growth is limited. About once a week I place some pellets on different corals. About every other week or...

Who doesn't like a good nudibranch picture.

I like the idea of building a stands you can move it on.

Double spigot and wide top. I like this build so far. The 2 biggest problems I have had so far are spilling the water when I put my hand in and reaching to bottom to place corals. Cool location.

I finally figured out how to do the custom white balance. In these pictures, everything looks a tad red. You can see some of the diatom bloom. I had the ISO way up, so the pictures are very grainy.

Did the tank cycle first?

I have now placed a few mushrooms into the tank. I have also had a diatom bloom and done my first water change as seen in the first picture. Top spigot worked, although slowly since there is little water pressure at the top. I placed some mushrooms in the tank. Due to the light color, it will...

Maybe a horn coral.

I know how much it costs to run my tank, I don't know the costs and risks of those who grow and sell corals, but I suspect it is high. Like any other job, if you can't make enough money to live on, you won't do it. As a result, I feel it is reasonable for vendors to sell items at prices they...

I spent so much time looking for a dispenser tank. The clearest glass one I found was at Target. It also looked like it had a decent spigot. Unfortunately, by then I already purchased my tank. It looks like you had a few dispensers outside that didn't make the cut either.

Please tell Marissa for me that her tank looks a little dry.

Saturday at noon sounds good.

It must be that special Texas HOLEY Rock I heard about.

The water is clear after running for 24 hours (I stir the sand and it clears in 1 hour). Ammonia is high. No Nitrite or Nitrate. I had to braid my light goosenecks to get the bulb high enough. I will also need to remove some material from the rear cover because of the spigot. It looks like I...

I plan on helping. Is there anyone else in the Toms River area that could help?
