    Tang stocking suggestion.

    First of all - having a QT is great. a lot of people skip this step because they deem it "expensive"...which makes no sense when you consider how much money is being invested in the display. obviously the bigger the better. Personally I think the 24 should be fine.

    120 Tank Build Thread - Lots Of Pictures

    Another great 120 tale to tag along with! The dj panel - did you screw that into the top or front of the stand? I was going to do the same thing but wasn't sure how best to secure it.

    Useless and marginal products I have purchased over the years

    The Hang on the Back Refugiums. First off - maintenance is a huge pita. Second of all - the amount of "refuge" is limited and by it's design - not optimal (small surface area). Save your money and use it to set up a under the tank sump with a fug. Finally - in my opinion the fug should be...

    Help with aquascaping

    in my opinion - even the "best" architect is going to have a tough time 'scaping a 55. At 13inches front to back depth - you just are going to have to compromise on certain areas. Do you have a sump? I'd see about moving the big piece down into the sump if you find it awkward to aquascape.

    Next Step

    haha - or it can be the most stressful/annoying aspects. After countless numbers of crabs, whelks and mantis shrimp from the gulf-of-mexico, I am looking forward to getting some Dry LR to cure.

    Next Step

    I agree with wendy. I'm glad you are enthusiastic - but I think your tank is not ready yet for corals. As you are new to the hobby - I'd much rather see you in a Fish only tank for a few months or so before introducing any corals. As you intro corals - the costs for maintaining your tank will...

    Coralife Light question

    Generally speaking - there is no need for the blue bulbs - but a lot of people prefer to have them so that the tank has more of a "pop". That stated - I don't believe PCs are known to have good quality "blue" actinics. One thing to realize though is that power compacts are an older technology...

    Tang stocking suggestion.

    your bi-color may be more aggressive and chasing the firefish. They both inhabit similar niches but perhaps if there is enough space/places to hide - the firefish are ok. pseudos are a pit pugnacious though in general towards fish that are similar in size and shape (e.g. firefish). can't...

    What's your current ride?

    sorry to hijack - but I am so green when it comes to understanding cars. I went to get my oil changed and the mechanic suggested I change out the transmission fluid and the fuel injection. I had both of these items done about 13 months ago. Since that time I've put on 6,000 miles on the car...

    MACNA XXI 2009: NJRC has been awarded ! ! !

    That would be awesome. In terms of software - don't we get a discount for being a non-profit?

    Lots of miniature starfish

    depends on who you ask. google up asterina starfish and see if that is the image that matches your tank inhabitants.

    MACNA XXI 2009: NJRC has been awarded ! ! !

    Why not just leave it as is and then a separate jpg file listing the vendor next to the number. It's not ideal but it's no different than what we get at the Mall. needless to say - the dedication the officers have shown in getting macna truly is inspiring. Big kudos to phyl!

    water quality question

    I am assuming it didn't just shed its exoskeleton and is hiding...right? Sorry to ask the stupidly obvious question.

    Well water TDS and RO/DI unit

    My tds is horrid before the softner. I personally find it strange your numbers are "backwards"...but then again maybe mine are.
