I scrapped the typhoon and went back to the emporers. That thing sucked. Maybe in the future I'll buy a 20 gallon tank or something and make a sump out of it. Not sure yet...will probably see how far i can go with my current filtration. Seems to be working great so far, although my bio load is...

So, I bought this skimmer: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=13910&Ntt=typhoon&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1 Finding a good HOT skimmer seems to be a little tough. This is my second one, and I can't get this one to work right either. It's...

Is it just me or did your avatar picture get WAY hotter? ;)

Yeah. I have a Seaclear acrylic tank, which has a 'hood' which houses a 36 inch flourescant. Just one of them, and that's all that's in the hood. It's 36x10ish. I guess I'd probably be better off building something that extends the entire length of the tank.

would it be way too little light for a 55 gallon setup that I'd eventually like to stop with corals? Any suggestions on a route that'd be better? http://www.hellolights.com/362x39wt5hor.html

Man...you guys have beautiful tanks!

My hobbies include: Home Theatre... Currently building a 'tv stand' (even though the tv is really on the wall, i'm building a stand for the cable box, amp, center channel, etc...Here's the sub I just built: Car audio has always been a fun one for me. Here's from a sub install in my old GTP...

The only person I'd really ever want to see in concert is that blake dude. He's a good singer, great stage personality, and the beat boxing thing is pretty sweet. When he did his one censorship on the words in that 311 song, that was great. PS - My wife makes me watch it. ;)

How hard is the acrylic to work with? I understand the glueing process works great and actually 'welds' the acrylic together, and is super strong. Is it hard to get a good seal, or do you just pretty much lay a bead, smooth it out and clamp it together? Also, how about cutting? Take any finesse?

Hello from 'the new guy'. ;)

Planet Pets is a great store. They don't keep a terribly large stock of critters in the saltwater department, but Howard (store owner) is a very knowledgable and friendly guy, and he'll order anything you need.

Hey guys, I've been buying a few fish at Precious Pets on 33 in Hightstown. The staff is very friendly, and somewhat knowledgable. The fish are really healthy, and the prices are decent.

Hey Concept, Could you elaborate on this a bit? Thanks! damon

Thanks! I'm trying to wrap my mind (and camera) around shooting the fishtanks. I haven't quite gotten it yet. Here's a few from the other tank:

Hey...where'd that come from? ;)

Well, the point and shoot is proving a worthy advisory, but they're getting a little bit better.

I need some fish, some lights, some coral, a bigger tank, a sump/refugium, more fish, an even bigger tank, a RO setup and a hand when I go on vacation. ;) Actually, I'm trying my best to take this slowly...

Pictures? Not very good at taking pics of the moving fish, yet, but here's a picture of the tank that i took right after I set it up: A picture of the damsel...which, after reading a lot, may never EVER leave the tank. ;) My crab. He rules. Freshies...

Hello everyone, Long time freshwater, n00b to saltwater. I currently have a 29 gallon freshwater cichlid tank that's been established and running (relatively) maint free for years. I've just changed my 55 gallon oscar tank to a saltwater tank. About 2 weeks ago, I filled the tank with salty...
