Are those white lines always there?

It is kind of funny seeing your tank on Facebook. This is my tank now, a year later, almost 2 years old. I changed to flow direction from my canister filter and lost a few of the Ricordeas. There is a harry mushroom there now that loves the location and has split 2 times. I still have some of...

Today is the start of this challenge. While I don't expect to win the challenge, I want to participate in this club activity. I am not sure if your 1st post should be in by today or not, but I would think you should, even if not fully cycled to let people know you are in it. I know there were...

Here is my tank as just about 1 year old. And a night time photo.

In the last full tank shot, you can see 2 circular sponges around the return from the protein skimmer when it was ne. That is to keep bubbled from entering the tank through return slots. There was another above the water to allow bubbles to pop without splattering. I only use that one now as...

I drilled the second spigot hole, but can't do any more on the tank until I have spigots. I found out my wife has Amazon Prime and I could have had everything here by now. I went coral shopping today. I got a blue Zuma from Tropiquarium and several other mushrooms from Mark at Ultimate Corals...

One last shot to elicit some responses. Blue Ridge Brandy Starfish Sangria Elegance Wine in a Chalice Low Fat Frogspawn Goniopora(r) Protein skimmer float (aka. Reef muscle milk)

Speaking of this purple sponge. It is my first NJRC coral I won at the raffle from my first NJRC meeting at Anthony's house. I also got my first asteria with it as well. You can still see the plug. It has attached to several rocks now. Again, this one taken with the shades up. I guess I can't...

The tank is where a desk would normally go in what was my son's bedroom, but now more of my office/library/man cave. The window is close, so I have learned to photograph when it is dark outside, shoot from the window side, or shoot close to the glass to avoid the reflection. Occasionally I use...

If you look in the picture above, you can see the yellow tang with a fire shrimp, possibly to get groomed. The first few weeks, this shrimp would come scampering over to take food from my hand. After the tank matured more, he could get food on his own so he now comes out when I feed the fish. My...

Yes, one thing to remember is that when they get clogged, water goes over the top. They now have LED lights on to warn you before it spills over. I have a 2nd one if the first dies as it is a primary aerator. Plus it is the only mechanical equipment I have attached to my battery backup in case...

I realized that I hadn't started a tale of the tank thread. I will add a few shots one post at a time until I catch up. This picture was taken (Dec 2015) after the cycle and the introduction of my first fish. I went with a 65 gallon tank as it was the biggest I could find for a 3 foot wide...

If you want to try and set one up, this is the person I spoke with last year (below). But since this is on their schedule, I think you are much more likely to have one of their aquarists conduct these tours. We didn't have that on our tour, although the guide was pretty knowledgeable. If you...

Yeah, a response. Surly someone can do one of the pests. Favia Fermentation Kenya tree cooler.

I know this stainless will rust to an extent as it is not 316 grade, probably has not been passivated, and the salt water will have oxygen in it, but seeing how flimsy dispenser spigots are, I decided to go this way.

If you missed the club behind the scenes tour last fall, you can attend a behind the scenes tour on November 5 or Dec 2, 9:30-11:00 AM. They probably will have them monthly during the off season. These are not club activities. You must preregister with the aquarium. Cost $15 adults, $10...

Just to clarify, the rules say 2.5 gallons.

In trying to control costs, I orders my spigots using free shipping. They have not even been shipped yet, so basically free means free to take their time. I did decide to use another low spigot in front. I decided to go with a stainless steel spigots as I don't have much confidence in the...
