    Brando's Red Sea Max 130D of Fun

    What kind of corals are you looking for? I'm sure I have some zoo frags laying around in the frag tank. Also a neon green Candy Cane with 5 or so heads just sitting in there too. LMK

    Just paid my membership... Saying Hello

    Hi! Welcome! I'm right down 22 in Bridgewater so I'm pretty close too. Unlike Brian I would be totally useless with the LEDs but once you get things going I would be happy to get you started with some nice frags.

    Start of my new 50b

    I was also considering Eurobracing for a bit there. That brace is killing me! What would you think of a DIY Brian? I literally would have NO idea where to start with something like that. Would it just be cheaper/better to buy them?

    OK, new question time. The new prices on the AI Sols has me thinking. For another $40 or so I could get the Sol instead of 2 of the Chinese fixtures. Would that be better? Would a single Sol give me enough coverage on a 36"x18" tank? Keep in mind the tank has a center brace too.

    57g deep blue rimless break down

    Tony, I have your frags. The question is, how bad do you want them? Just bring a duffel bag with unmarked 20s to the next meeting and maybe we can work something out.

    My New Cone Skimmer is Beast!

    That thing IS a beast. In the pic with your old skimmer it looks like it wants to eat the old one! That is some skimmer. Can't wait to see how it works. Very well I imagine.

    Need some help on ATO

    Just run a hose into the tank! I saw it on "Tanked" on TV so it must be OK right?

    Thanks Tony but I have the bits already. I will let you practice on your tank with the hammer and chisel first. If it holds water you can help with mine. I will give you a call tomorrow and maybe we can meet up for a few while you're up here. I'll tell ya..... I've been after you to come up here...

    Hello NJRC

    Sorry, that really sucks! It's more likely that the Hippo was either dead or very close to it before it got stuck on the overflow.

    What size is the one you got already? I got the 5.0 because that was the only pump I want to run for reactors or anything else. ATO will need one but that's an easy little pump.

    Start of my new 50b

    It was just barely over 1/4". It's been so long since I have seen a tape measure with inches it took me a minute. Too used to my surveyor's tape with tenths! I'm going to order the returns tomorrow so hopefully they will be here by the weekend. What's the difference between the flared and round...

    EcoTech Marine Radion XR30w LED Light

    I'm having a hard time seeing why this is worth $250 more than the new AI fixture. I really like the inclusion of green and red LEDs though. Am I missing something that makes them so much better? It seems to me that AI caught everyone by surprise with the Phoenix's low price.

    What type of algae is this??

    I have the same thing in my tank. Just one little tuft all the way at the top of the highest rock. Oh, and that would be green......

    I think my time is up with the hobby

    Despite the long and grueling trek I would be more than happy to help you out if you need it Olivier. I used to do tank maintenance at the LFS I worked in and there are still 2 guys who do it at the store I worked in. The one guy has been doing it for about 20 years at this point and knows his...

    Start of my new 50b

    I'm still waiting to get my returns. The whole "let's just buy everything" tactic hasn't worked well for my bank account so I'm going to have to wait a little bit for them as well as the lights. Probably next weekend. Drilling party????

    Yeah, I had read that but that's OK with me. I'm OK with him popping out every once in awhile. He isn't nearly as expensive as I have seen them either so I figured it was worth it. I like my little Gobies. Thanks for the warning though.

    Hire CJ to maintain your tank! Seriously though, we would all miss you and your blowtorches! If it's what's best for your family then it's the right choice. If you leave and ever get back into it you know everyone here will have plenty of stuff to get you back on your feet!
