I like cake. ;D

Ok, so I bought them an anemone a few weeks ago. At first, they ignored it. But, when I moved them to the temp tank for the move, they hosted immediately. When I moved them to the new 90 gallon, the stupid anemone crawled all the way across the tank around the rocks and wedged itself in the back...

"A Clockwork Orange". Absolutely the worst I ever saw.

Ack. That sucks. I'm almost dreading my vacation in august... (Think I can get my 90 gallon in the back of an SUV and take it along for a week??? ;D )

Looks good! Definitely heading in the right direction! Keep your parameters up and with those T5s, you'll have tons of coraline in no time! ;D

Mike, my father did it for years while I was growing up. We all joked that he is part gypsy and part packrat, so whenever we moved, he kept the old house! You couldn't pay me enough to put up with that! At one point, he had 6 houses PLUS the one we were living in. I'm 35 now, and I just finally...

Ouch. Thank God it wasn't worse! From the looks of it, honestly, those power strips appear to be little more than extension cords. I picked up one of the GFCI 6 outlet boxes from Lowes, and that thing trips at the tiniest little thing. I didn't even realize I had a problem with my small light...

Jesus, dude! You need a LOOOOOOONG vacation! Go play ball with your kids, that always cheers me up! ;D

I think I'm gonna have nightmares now...

That's too much...

Wow, I wonder how much they paid Gene and the boys for THAT licensing! LOL!

I was a little worried about the anemone. He's been through 3 moves in the past couple of weeks. But, he has himself wedged in a corner in the back of the tank (his choice, not mine). I put him in the front under a rock over hang, since I learned from the last time he doesn't seem to like the...

Wow, that is pricey. But, just about everything else good for this hobby seems to come from Germany, so it probably is the best! (I think I could settle for second best at half the cost! LOL!)

Looks good so far, Jazz! Keep the pics coming! ;D

Candi, I've heard the same things in other forum posts about tropic marin. Since you've used all 3, here's my questiona: My tank stays a pretty constant 430 calcium level, and I do about 10 to 15% water changes monthly. How often do you water change, and do you see a significant drop in...

I'd say if it wasn't working and your tank is healthy, don't fix what aint broke! ;D (er, or what is broke in this case ;D ) We use a UV sterilizer on our freshwater system at "the store", but that is because it is over 1700 gallons and has a constant in-flux of fresh city water into the...

I've always used instant ocean, but switched to reef crystals (by instant ocean) when I started getting more into corals because of a recommendation from a fellow reefer. My calcium levels and PH stay pretty constant with the reef crystals. I've never tested for magnesium or iodine, but I think...

Thanks guys. Yeah, the plumbing had me going for a while, but $7 worth of parts and a jigsaw and I was able to use most of the existing plumbing for the return pump. Just had to step down the 1" pipe I was using back down to 3/4" to accomodate a barbed fitting and run a short length of braided...

Ok, everything tested perfectly, so I went ahead with the move. Everybody made the trip without issue. The wrasse is in there somewhere, but he is hiding. Also got all me critters from the group buy today too (Thanks Rich!), they are happily munching away as well. Sump is plumbed and...

You know, I haven't really noticed it being that much larger than the Tunze. Side by side, the Hydor probably protrudes about an extra inch, but it is egg shaped, as opposed to being round. I really don't think it's bigger enough to be an issue. At least not to me. As for the flow, I'm probably...
