    Complete DB 10g rimless

    Another project not getting off the ground. Ready to be filled and cycled. Had this ready to go for dwarf seahorses (though I was planning to replace the small filter with a sponge filter once cycled). Newborn, 4 year old, 90g tank - I have enough on the plate atm. This will make a nice small...

    Current USA Solo tanks

    I bought 2 at a good discount and decided not to set them up. I have to start getting rid of crap, not expanding. $60 each. $110 for both (or $100 and a frag or anem). In Brick. Mark (201) 467-1771 Here's the F&S link... Current SOLO Desktop Aquarium: Aquarium Kits

    Gamers? I need help........................Again

    Both Xbox One and PS4 are relatively new but in the gaming battle the Xbox is going downhill. More developers are focusing on PS4 and the Xbox is probably going to be a struggling system soon - think Betamax. But, not doubt the system will be supported for a long time. This is non-scientifically...

    bucket uniseal

    Any homebrewing supply store will have them. Putting spigots on 5 gal buckets is a regular occurrance in the brewing hobby.

    Urchin & mangroves

    Bumping for the urchin. (S)He's still doing great but adopter backed out. Though I love him/her in the fuge I feel guilty.

    Anem question

    Yeah, been about a week with the new water and sand. Was hoping for experiences of 'Sure! Its all good', but expecting advice to hold off a bit. Thanks for the reply, you've confirmed what I was thinking and I'll give it a few months.

    Melanurus Wrasse behavior

    I've bought most of my stock from ACC. I tend to drip acclimate for an hour or so, then empty half the water and continue the acclimation for another 2 hours. Of all the fish I picked up from them most are still going strong. A recent purchase of a purple firefish didn't go to well, as even...

    A discussion on Immunity

    No worries on the plankton. I've got it bottled and labelled and am selling it through a couple of shops, plus I'm planning to get up off my arse within the next 2 weeks and begin selling on ebay/craigslist. I'm a horrible businessman so as I know you I'll send you some on the cheap, drop me a...

    Sump improvement

    Personally I think substrate in the fuge is just something more to clean. Mine has a piece of eggcrate on the bottom with some live rock, a couple of snails, a small hermit or two, and some macroalgae. Light-wise I was running a clip on fixture from HD or Lowes with a 5500-6500 CFL bulb. I just...

    Skimmer discussion

    So, in researching my next moves on the new tank I found a few interesting items on skimmers and how they relate to the system’s return pump. In general, most say that: 1. You should have a skimmer rated (at least) to your bioload 2. You should match return pump to the skimmer rating...

    Tom's 250g+ System Build

    I think it fills the whole addition. Those aren't windows, they're viewing ports.

    Anem question

    So, upgraded to the 90. Moved 70# of live rock over from old tank and added about 40# that I had curing for a few months. Totally new water. Would like to add an anem at this point for my clowns. I know the tank needs to be established but am curious on the exact definition. So, is the tank now...

    What is your favorite fish in your tank???

    I had a lawnmower blennie a while back and loved his curiosity. He'd sit on his rocks watching me as I watched him. Unfortunately I was pretty meticulous in maintenance, too meticulous I think, and he went bladder up. Once the new tank is established a bit more, I'll pick up another. The rest...
