    Tanks stand about to go - do I upgrade now?

    Why don't you put a WTB thread up and see if someone wants to make one for you? I doubt the cost to make it would be negligable from a 90 to a 120. I seem to remember some guys making some nice stands. Also I think Jim sent me the link where he bought his stand and it was pretty nice too.

    Refugiums

    I don't really know what it looks like but if you can put some of it to act as a screen door it works well for me.

    Question on Hard Wood Flooring

    Pergo or laminate floors are messy with any water that might stand on it. The bamboo floors are really cool and a great green idea I second rfbf idea.

    plant light

    I have 2x54 W T5 got it from AO it is the one with the Nova Extreme FW has growth bulb....I don't do CO2 though. I am too old school for that I guess. Better results then old fixture. Makes the house look pretty funky at night cuz the SW tank is blue glow and the FW a redish glow...

    Tanks stand about to go - do I upgrade now?

    Very understandable...hope that one of the skilled craftsmen here can build you a kick butt stand. Win win for everyone. For sure some of the stands built are better then the store made ones.

    My first saltwater setup

    http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=143&Itemid=43 For me ... certainly a personal preference here that T5 lighting is going to be the most economical way to go. My two suggestions, I guess your tank is 24 in long right, would be either the T5 lighting from...

    SPS Filtration

    Hawkeye beat me to it. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. For sure it is running great. ;D A TLF reactor is an easy solution for phos..I just put in one but one in and am using Seachem SeaGel which is both carbon and phosphate remover. I didn't really have a problem with my new tank with...

    Should I get Ricordeas in my new tank

    Most of the T5 fixtures sit on top of the tank or if you get what they call a retrofit you build a canopy for them. I did the third alternative which is to hang them from the ceiling. I wanted that particular look. I did have a 55G freshwater tank that I put a duel T5 fixture on top of the...

    Pygmy Angels and Clams

    I had a Centropyge argi(smaller angel) that never ate any corals. He ran around picking at everything and anything. Did it bother my corals or clam no not usually unless he got a hold of a hairy mushroom hair then it would ball up. Great little fish till he decided to jump. I do wonder if their...

    Should I get Ricordeas in my new tank

    Don't go to fast. Read some...talk to long term reefers like Mike...I think you will be happier if you take your time and decide for yourself what you want first then make a plan to set up you tank. Like REEFLECTIONS said learn how to keep things stable first then start adding stuff. Good bio...

    My first saltwater setup

    Looks like a common type of mushroom...the anemone I have no idea. That skimmer gets very mixed results. If you go with a low bioload fish wise and don't go SPS now then put your money into lights and a decent RO/DI unit, and keep up with very good water changes. I will post up AWI group buy...

    I have no business having more than 1 (maybe 2) tanks.

    I don't know how you keep all the animals/fish fed, cleaned and any time for yourself. I catch heck for having two tanks, with some house plants and a yard and not having time. Would suggest some sort of risk reward analysis for all your tanks. If you can think of any you have not sat in front...
