    Mark's Pico reef (6g)

    Thanks all, 1. Beer always helps. :) 2. Didn't build the stand, bought the wood to build it myself, but decided to buy one as I wanted it to look good. 3. I thought pipefish, especially as I raise pods, but they would quickly outgrow the tank. I like the looks of the jester goby, might pick...

    Mark's Pico reef (6g)

    With plague rampant in the house, I spent Saturday doing a bit of set-up. Few more bits and pieces salvaged, plus just bought a new heater and pump. I plan on filling the Aqueon with some rubble, a sponge, and a small bag of Phosban. Stand and tank in position... Kitchen Aquascaping...

    Up-Sizing My Tank (FOUND)

    If i understand you right and the tank had only water in it and no livestock, i'd ditch the old water (and definitely dump the old sand if there is any) and start with new aragonite, add rock, add all new water, and start your cycle. Best to start from a fully clean slate.

    Jellyfish

    Looked into it a few months back as I was looking into dwarf horses. They need minimal to no light (though LEDs are fine and accenuate the colors), need a constant gentle flow to bring food to them (like seahorses), are extremely sensitive to parameter changes (minor rise in ammonia could be...

    Non-reef related sales forum?

    Going to be running a few Craigslist postings soon and am looking for a few items myself (including a 97-00 jeep wrangler ;) ). Bumping this post for committee consideration.

    FS: JBJ 28 LED PRO, Acans, Zoas

    I'll be in Clifton possibly on Saturday afternoon. If I am and they're still about I can pick them up. I might be able to use one of the zoas for a new pico build and can hold the others for adoption if you like, or I can put them into the frag raffle at the next central meeting, which will...

    How does food equate to health

    I'm in the choir. Back room is a zoo of various phytoplanktons, a blackworm farm, and a bucket of copepods. Still making my own frozen - shrimp, clam, krill, seaweed, wild salmon, soaked in Omega and garlic, then frozen. I thaw this out in a small cup of mixed phytos, coral frenzy, a shot of...

    Stock a nano tank

    Grats on the tank, they're quite nice. Looking forward to your build thread :) Also, Brick is nearby (and I work in Jackson). If you need RODI lemme know, i'm happy to make some for you. Can also hook you up with a hermit or two and a bunch of Florida dwarf cerith snails for your cuc

    Best prices on new tanks

    +1 on Tropaquarium in Ocean, the savings may be substantial enough for the trip. I got a reef ready Deep Blue 90g for just over $200 a few months back, way below anyone else's prices.

    Mark's Pico reef (6g)

    Sale of the species specific didn't work out, and as I was looking at the tank (which was going to be seahorse specific) I thought, its Saturday, off work as wife is sick and watching kids, I don't want to work on the floors, I'm a bit bored, and surely I don't have enough stress. I should make...

    Mark's 90 upgrade

    As I'm uploading some images, figured I'd post a pic of the tank. Three months in, all's going well, stable, solid growth, and am now successfully keeping SPS :) Looking forward to what this thing will look like in a year (knock on wood)

    Possable way to enhance live Blackworms

    Cool deal, thanks for posting. I'm raising blackworms atm, I'll start to soak them in oil the night before I serve them up.

    Hanna Alk checker users.

    Timing is everything. I was just about to release details of my Alk checker. Operation is simple: Dip Quadra-Alk (pat pending) Sensor into water. Manually kinetically charge the Alkalinity Indicator. Note reading. Dose accordingly. I was planning to market these at $329.95 but as some of you...
