    Hawkeye's AGA 120

    Hey Phil sorry to hear about your fish's. Have you tried making a cover for the overflow? I'm thinking of doing this as well as closing the top of the tank with a net. I've had a few carpet surfers myself. Why do you think you need a bigger sump? OH, whats CCB.

    Thanks Mike, Phyl OK, trying to get back on track. I've always had a bare bottom tank and just got tired of it. So now I'm going to try the sand thing. I had 3.5 gallons of bucket full of used sand in the garage for a couple of months. I thought cleaning it was going to be difficult, but...

    40 Breeder Reef Plan

    Is the stand included in the price? I would look in the for sale forum on this site or other sites for used equipment. I wouldn't be buying anything new on a tight budget. You can also check craigslist.

    26Gallon Rimless with new Picasso pair

    Nice tank. I like the top down pic. I had the Grade B clown once but they never made it. I think they were wild caught. I do miss them. They don't need an anenome to survive. You can also get a frogspawn.

    Video of Crinoidea - Feather Star at Feng's!

    Is that reef safe? Man..... the things that they bring up from the ocean. I would think that something like that will need at least a 400 gallon tank to swim FREELY. Junk, how big is your tank?

    Things haven't been doing so good. I have no time to do anything. 80% of my sps has died. I stoped dosing the tub full of rocks. Had problem with the Kati Ani (I generated incorrectly). The TDS in the water is over 100. Phosphate is 2.69. I haven't checked nitrates yet. AAAAAHHHHHH I feel like...

    need help in suggestion of sandbed or no sandbed

    I'm starting to get tiered of the BB thing. I'm looking for a different look now on the tank that I'm setting up now. So I will be adding at least 2-3 inches of sand in my tank. I will be putting strong pumps as well. I'll see how it goes.

    Skimmer and Controller comparison chart

    I think there are just to many skimmers to review. If I'm looking for a skimmer, I will ask questions here and other forums about skimmers that will be a good fit for my setup. Once I get a couple of models, than its time for me to do my homework and search the net about the models that were...
