That's how Brian's tank is done, Merv's too, I think. Tiler & 68 have both done DIY versions on tanks as well.

On the external overflow the tank itself has teeth cut into it that allow water to flow into the "built on" overflow box that is adhered to the outside of the tank. The drain lines come down off of that. So the teeth in the tank allow for gravity fed, no risk of failure, drain of the tank water...

I have 1 RR (180 tank/500g system) and 1 non-RR (65/10g sump). I wouldn't own a non-RR on purpose ever again. I think ideally I'd have an external overflow on my tank. That's the best of both worlds, IMO. No loss of tank real estate and without the risk of flooding

WOW! Amazing to see it all in the wild like that. Thanks for sharing them.

Based on what we saw at The Hidden Reef, they have one rock system and 2-3 SW fish systems (I could probably tell you by the count of the vats in the basement from my photos). Aquatic Obsessions has several separate fish systems (each pairing of 2 columns makes up one fish system). Those are...

My solution to a similar situation was to pick up one of those recirculating skimmers you mentioned!

It was written way too amusingly for it to have been for real! I did cringe at the first few mentions of cleaning solutions though. ::shudder::

I kept a cap quite happily under PCs (the growth wasn't great, but the color was). It bleached and died when I went to MHs. :(

Tank looks good. Nice and full. The rock looks real close to the side walls, is it really close? How do you get that part of the glass clean? That's gotta be one of the challenges of a nano... using the real estate without impeding the cleaning process. I keep all of my hydnophoras (4 different...

Very hard to keep. Nobody knows exactly which exact species of sponge they feed on. As beautiful as they are, and as much as I'd love one... *sigh* I'm hoping Eric has long term success with them though. Then he can teach us so that I can have one!

Wow. I just must be way conservative because I wouldn't take my 7yo let alone my 5yo to the HP movies! Sierra saw the first one, but after that they just started getting too dark. I wouldn't even listen to them on audio-book in the car while the kids were there listening! ::shrug:: The least...

Find and download IRFANVIEW. It will also resize files, in batch when necessary (which makes putting up meeting photos, etc much easier).

Re: Newest additions (Actinic shots) Chalice Chalice Plategyra Those blastos again :) My piece of the Pineapple Aussie Acans

We light both of our tanks from 2pm to midnight, give or take. Our halides are on for about 6 hours and our PC whites (on the other tank) are on for 8 hours.

I'll let you all know when I'm ready for you to update your profiles with your zip codes!

Got this one from Trop a couple of weeks ago. It is a type of Hydnophora that I've never seen before. Its just STUNNING. This one I got from Eric (Crystal Reef). A real beauty at a great price. This we picked up at Dr Mac over the weekend. The picture doesn't do the colors justice. I...

Yup, just move that bad boy around to each "zone" and you'll have the earth's rotation going on between the 2 tanks. Now to get it on an automatic slider... Way to be creative, Francis!

We have the ability to map our coordinates if we put all of the members' zip codes into the members table.

Regional trips would be a good idea. I know there are a cluster of folks up in the Washington area (where this month's meeting is). We tried to get them to do a tank tour for a meeting earlier in the year (April?) but it didn't pan out (too hard to schedule). We also have another cluster around...
