Happy Birthday have a great one!!!

You are such a tease :P

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Nope it is from Catalina Aquariums. It comes with the bulbs for about the same price as Tek without. Very good warrenty on the ballists. The bulbs I have been swapping out as I go. Not sure exactly what I want yet. Won't confuse you with all my...

Better in the PVC then on the floor. Cukes are cool, when they get bigger they hang out in plain sight more. Never really pretty or anything but useful. You going to run a chiller? How about some pics?

Rainbow poccillopora is really nice. Everything is coming along really nice.

Well as you move into new tanks you can add the new fish first and then the fish you have. That will help. You can always do the rock rearranging thing to confuse them. What kind of fish are you importing?

Sorry I misunderstood that makes sense.

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax How reliable are they? I would hate to see you get frustrated because the motor froze up or something.

Well a 3-4 hundred gallon tank with give you a lot of room that is for sure. I understood incorrectly that you had multiple 125s. I would hold off adding more tangs or angels even in a 125, what you have should be fine but if you add more you are taking a chance...then when you really go huge...

Wow they are looking great!!! Hey hope you can come down to the meeting this month. James

I think voltage like calaxa said is the major thing I think. I disagree with not doing the smaller water changes, but it is just my opinion that more smaller water changes are better. Could still be overcrowding....you say they get along but the number of fish you mention is packed for a 55...

I would say Wendy has one green thumb one orange one purple one red ...wait that is too many thumbs but you get the idea. My T5 work well and as I get them fine tuned ..better bulbs they are doing very well. I really get a mininum amount of heat if you overdrive the T5 you will get a bit more.

I used eggcrate with zipties to create a platform with rubble rock below it. I left a hole on one side to get a siphon hose down in it to get some gunk out. Those lights look pretty decent. I think a red and white one would be a good combo. We have a sponsor Wingo here that makes LED lights. You...

Re: Here's my now 375 (was 120) by Bax Well it looks like you better get your butt in gear Baxter :D running all the tubs is the same as a tank more or less right? Just a thought I know you run MH lighting but what if you run a combination under your canopy of T5 or VHO and MH. Sam used to have...

You and I would be happy if Will were to take a fish off our hands...we also drive family trucksters. This guy probably is buddies with the local zoo/aquarium because he is the chairman of their board or largest donor something like that.

There are a lot of ways to run a reef tank. mynd might have a strong opinion but I followed his advice and it worked for me. His nano is very very nice and is always stable so it obviously working for him. IMHO a nano will get out of whack easier then say a larger tank so all you can do to...

Sorry I wasn't to detailed before. You have a lot of options. I wouldn't go cutting the back of that tank given the price of it ;). I used a LED light bar, there are some submersible options, some pond lights...though they generate heat, maybe you can even find a little florescent light that is...

Using RO water will make life easier. Less crap that goes in the less you have to worry about. The smaller the tank the faster it can go wrong. If you have a great source of water then you might get away with it, but as a newbie try to follow the rules. Guys like Matt can get away with what they...

Now a personalized dive tank that would be cool ;D

I have to agree with everyone. A plain FOWLR system would have been much nicer. I mean with that much live rock you can end up with some interesting hitchhikers if nothing else.
