Chad Awesome looking tank and loved the videos! What kind of ATO are you using?

Currently I am doing a 10% (one gallon) water change once a week. I use an old one gallon milk jug and a water bottle. I first remove my glass cover, then dip the water bottle between the tank lip and my Current USA Orbit light and fill skimming the scum from the surface. Remove the water...

Jesse, just finished scanning your thread 20l/20l fuge..... excellent looking tank, hard to believe it is only 20 gallons. I am also considering using a closed loop system with a SCWD like this http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html with a 3 inch PCV vertical tube near the pump to...

Yes Jesse a 40 gallon breeder is one the first small size AGA aquarium to break the 12 inch depth mark. I am hoping to reuse my 20" Current USA orbit light fixture, the 40 gallon 35" wide breeder would break the lighting budget. :cry:

I would like to do some background work before I reinvent a square wheel :cry: . Most of the posts/pics I've found so far divide one side of the tank, however I would like to divide the back. I seem to stumble on some here and there but don't know if there is a defined name for this type of...

Yes Tim, I am familiar with these two tanks. I am looking to DIY something similar using a 20 gal long or something similar.

I am looking at up grading to a slightly larger, cleaner looking tank. I like the JBJ style of tank with the false back with overflow that flows into several chambers (fuge), then back into the main tank. Does this type of tank have a common name? Any links to users tank pics...

It took a week for my new Peppermint to roam the tank. During the first week he was mostly active at night, must have gotten hungry enough to become social?

I have the same heater and the documents are very vague as to the placement of the heater. It is submersible. Mine is in the tank vertically (I wanted to hide it horz. behind the Liverock pile) some heaters can not be place horz. not sure about this one. Nice heater, got mine through a...

These are the LR I purchased from Primium Aquatics last week. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthrea ... did=935327

If you are going with a Current USA Orbit fixture (2x40), I just purchased one from PetMountain.com. Had them do a price match with another site, they beat the price, and them lowered the price of all their Orbit fixtures on the site. Shipping is also free on orders over $99... very sweet...

Thanks Jesse, love the moving pix. Too bad Dave had to leave his own show. BTW Pet Mountain didn't have the DT brand so I went with Kent. Thanks for the info.

Is any kind of reef food recommended. Also, if I am planning on have some clown fish in the future what kind of food do they need. Just asking as I need to pad an order I am placing to get free shipping. I am ordering a Current USA 20" Orbit (80 watts plus moon lights... sweet). Two...

Cool So I would assume that all the 'stock' Aquaclear stuff has been removed from the right chamber. Did you need to make anyother mods to the filter? At 500 gals per hour, how do you keep the smaller stuff from flowing out of the chamber? I have a used Skilter 400 (protien skimmer...

Thanks Karen I've heard many good things about Foster & Smith. I guess we are lucky to have then relatively close. Ebay offers some interesting LR's but the shipping is rather pricey and the laws of supply and demand seem to be working against me right now. It would be nice to see...
