    Heater education and recommendations?

    Thanks all. Well, I don't believe I need a controller right now as all of the equipment I have is automated and none of it is crucial to my being in touch with it. But, I did however buy a small heater controller to get things started with and will eventually look into wiring up a two channel...

    Heater education and recommendations?

    DANGER! RAMBLING POST! So, with summer approaching I've decided to focus my concerns on heating my tank (it's like I'm from Bizzarro world). Recent winter state: Leftover heaters build. I thought - One 200W and two 150W heaters, all adjustable, they'll all monitor each other, prevent...

    I need some opinions (help)

    Dude. You're making this WAY too hard. There's an easy way to get to 200g with each tank bottom within reach. Just keep the 90 as is. THEN, use tanks you have lying around, hell I can give you some, and ADD to your current setup. This allows you to achieve a split level effect AND...

    Gone a few days - feeding?

    So, returned from the trip and, all in all, things went relatively well. Algae bloom beginning so the reactor gets dropped in with some GFO today. Autofeeding worked well for all with the exception of the new kid, a Darwin Clown. Small when intro’d to the tank and, seemingly, being unable to...

    I went to that big store

    I used to go to the orange store. One day I was making a large purchase and asked the man at the register for a military discount. I showed him my card and he said the same thing. He then told me that even though I 'didn't deserve it' he would ask the manager. I simply told him not to bother...

    'The Beast Behind the Rabbit' - free

    It is. It seems content in the fuge atm, though I have found my car keys misplaced in the morning and blood trails intermingled with little dotted footprints leading to the doors of the root cellar. I did not have a root cellar before owning this crab and I believe he architectured it to hide...

    I'm so confused on powerheads

    Had a couple of Jebao 10s in a 40 breeder and they worked fantastically, nice as they come with the wavemaker controller and its pretty cool getting a programmable and powerful powerhead so affordably. Treated myself to a gyre 130 for a 4' shallow reef and have to keep it between 40-50% -...

    Thanks all. Picked up the Eheim feeder and built a RFBF-ring. Joy in Mudville.

    Rob's time for an upgrade 180

    Having seen your work I'm looking forward to watching the stand come together as much as the tank. Please keep pics coming. Also, you should tell everyone that you killed those animals in close combat with the hatchet thats hanging above them.

    Gone a few days - feeding?

    Thanks for the info gents. I'll go pick up an Eheim this weekend.:)

    Gone a few days - feeding?

    I interpret that as four to five days sans food is not an option and I should either buy a device to feed the wet-ones or ask a neighbor to drop a pre-determined chunk of stuff in the tank.

    Gone a few days - feeding?

    Hey all. Hope everyone's enjoying this weather. I've been feeding the kids on a daily basis for the past few weeks and they seem quite happy with the arrangement. Next week we're disappearing from Tuesday afternoon to Saturday night/Sunday morning. Four to five days without food shouldn't be...

    Lob Stark's 20 gal Reef Tank

    Welcome aboard. I've been doing this for under a year myself and have been on a considerable learning curve so I can't offer too much practical advice for the long term. Matter of fact, half the following advice may be garbage. But, I'll try. The sooner you get to that sump with a protein...

    'The Beast Behind the Rabbit' - free

    It has taken offense and is currently fashioning a ladder from the fuge eggcrate. I'm going to leave the front door open for it tonight as I can not afford door repairs at this time. Be alert.

    He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones! - Tim the Enchanter Emerald crab hitcher, big guy, like 2" round. Will get bigger as he has apparently eaten, or at least killed, in the past week: 1 smaller emerald crab, 2 ceriths, and 1 turbo. Deaths were a...
