    Would this be possible?

    Personally I'd just stick with your existing tank and start thinking of buying an upgrade that is pre-drilled or comes with an internal overflow. Then migrate everything to the new tank and sell off the old one. oh - and if it were me, I'd spend the money on a QT before a sump.

    My Still up and running 180g

    You probably already mentioned this on another thread - but can you post what kind of lights you are running? Also - what kind of camera you're using? The old adage - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...and while I don't think I can imitate, I can at least know what you're using! ;)

    Sand Question

    Cuke-nukes are overstated/overblown... Sea Cucumbers Everyone talks about cukes as possible causes for tank wipe-outs like everyone talks about every single bristle worm as a coral eater. Just cannot generalize like that. Do you need a cuke? Nope. Personally I will be stocking my tank with at...

    Tunze nano or Koralia 4?

    or you could wait until fall - when the 6105's come out and all the tunze fanatics dump their existing tunzes for the new ones. You know there are always the folks who want the latest and greatest...(you know who you are if you're reading!). ;) From Tunze: Eco-energetic The innovative motor...

    June meeting wrap up.

    Thanks Ralph. My daughter really enjoyed hanging out with your kids in the pool. She was very difficult to get out of the pool!!! Oh and your son followed us out to the car...! I sent him back when i told him all the brownies were on the table, not in my car anymore. ;) It was nice catching up...

    How to treat Ich in Reef?

    you should try and avoid any kind of meds if at all possible- copper included. I don't have studies of ornamental fish handy - but I was under the impression that elevated dosages of copper does cause issues to the fish. Let me go and refresh myself with some books from calfo and fenner...(be...

    How to treat Ich in Reef?

    nope. In essence you are breaking the life cycle of the parasite by leaving the tank "fish-less". The life cycle that we (the keepers) notice are when the little things are piercing the flesh of the fish and their white bodies appear against the fish... Sometimes people report - "oh the white...

    How to treat Ich in Reef?

    you'd have to leave the tank fallow - so you'd have to find someone with a QT to hold your fish... otherwise i agree with matt. Why plan for disease when you could be planning to prevent it with a QT? Is it financial? The cost of QT is easily made up for compared with all the meds needed for a...

    R.I.P. little guy...

    Technically they are just "pre-pubescent"....but I believe your order is correct... so there's a big-dame female, smaller guy-male, and a bunch of small juveniles. If the dad dies - one of the juvies steps up to be the man. If the female dies, the male steps up to be female, and the juvie steps...

    First tank 29gal

    feather worm. depending on where your LR came from - could be a species from the pacific or atlantic. Keep in mind if you like it and want to keep it - it is a filter feeder - doesn't matter what kind of light you give it - it wants phyto. per wet web media: Daily to a few times weekly...

    Totally not subject related- congrats on the pending boy! - back on topic - the link doesn't work. You cannot copy a post from RC and post here. The links do not work... I have no experience with that type of ballast - in fact i'm looking to purchase some kind of MH set up in the future...

    Vitamin C - Anyone tried dosing this yet?

    LOL - I noticed that too - but to be brutally honest - what it lacked in content -I thought it made up in the title alone "C the difference". At the very least it provides a great framework for the other teens on this board to piggy back off of and present at school... Yes - should I bring him? :)

    Vitamin C - Anyone tried dosing this yet?

    I don't get dosing something that doesn't naturally occur in the ocean. Vitamin C is a big thing to us because we're the only creatures on this planet that cannot manufacture it. Us and Guinea Pigs (hence why so many cavies were used as lab animals for scurvy). Oh total off-course- if anyone...

    Start of my Oceanic 215 build

    nice. Are you thinking of chaeto? or maybe something more exotic like mangroves? or a mix? Have you decided whether you will have a sandbed in the fug section or not?

    First tank 29gal

    Looks like a harmless feather duster/worm. Pops out of the LR right? Same Spot? If it moves around - it's something else....but hard to tell from the pics.
