Mike...if you don't mind me asking what did the setup cost you?

where did you find the Tru-Vu aquarium? I am looking at setting one up at work and trying to find a tank and this one looks to be the perfect size.

not a problem. Just anxious to see the competition.

Any idea when we will be voting on these?

almost as funny as asking the deli clerk for 1 piece of shrimp to cycle your tank.

Looks a lot like the CurrentUSA Orbit hoods. The only thing that I don't like is that it looks like it sits on the inside of the aquarium. Maybe it's just the photos but if that is the case then you can't put down any type of glass top to prevent splashing onto the hood. Edit: Nevermind...I...

Nice tank...

yeah if no one wants the calcuim tester i will take it off their hands...lol

That is true to a certain degree. Most portrait photographers can adjust their WB with their cameras once and never have to change it for that session. I shoot mainly weddings right now and everything changes with every shot so WB is the last of my worries on the big day...lol

Personally I would stick with Auto on my camera and then use the RAW format photo. The RAW format is in an uncompressed file format that is pure algorithims (sp) so i can adjust the exposure, saturation, white balance...etc before it is converted into JPG. Ofcourse I am a photographer so that...

i was feeding my LPS's squid, until they both ended up with Brown Jelly infection and died...

You could reduce your light cycle a bit if you want. I run mine for about 13hrs and have some algae. I look at it as food for my turbos. I only clean the front glass about once/week and it hasn't gotten out of control yet. The mandarin might be of some concern though. (Unless there is a...

Re: I just got... You guys are seriously paying $40 for moonlights? What a rip off. LED's run less than $.50 ea and can easily be put together for very very little effort.

you can build one for like $10.

Well I just got back from the LFS and had them test my water. Everything was good. I spoke with the owner and he said that they had those shrimp for about 3 weeks and that they don't even acclimate the shrimp into their tanks. I spoke with him for about 15 minutes trying to narrow down what...

Are you talking about high levels in my tank or the bag of water? I was always under the impression that trates under 20 was acceptable. All of my coral are doing great. They are expanding, growing and spreading as expected.

aight...i just tested the water from the bag that the shrimp came in. Will nitrates sky rocket if the bag was just sitting around for about 26hrs? Everything is within reason except for the nitrates. They are completely off of the charts, yet I don't know what the effects are of leaving the...

I'm going to see if I can locate some water from the bag and test it. I know that I can't test the salinity since I have a floating tester but I might be able to test the ammonia, trites, trates and maybe enough for pH. Yeah it can be frustrating when you plop $30 for a shrimp and it dies...

Yes I have other inverts in the tank. (2 hermits, ~10 assorted snails) I am using Aquarium Pharmasutical (sp) Master Testkit. I am located in Indiana. The weather was a bit chilly yesterday but in a heated truck they should have been fine.

I'll see if I can get some water from the bag for a test. It is now sitting in the bottom of an empty 10g tank that I set my HOB breeder bucket on for acclimating.
