Welllll... Want to hear something totally hilarious? I had earmarked $1500 for my aquarium project. I had cash in hand. Well actually, in the small safe located in my home office. I left said safe open the week before Christmas, because I was getting in and out of it so often for my business...

By the way, they are adding a real wood (oak) stand to their inventory instead of the MDF. I'm not certain which tank this is for, I am guessing the 35 gallon unit. MUCH nicer, IMHO.

OK... here is a REALLY stupid question. Regarding ACRYLIC tanks. Have they gotten any harder to scratch in the past 12 years? Seriously. The only disadvantage to the Finnex I can see at this point is the fact they are made of acrylic. (cringe) I always swore if I did this again I would get...

Oh, gotcha. Yes, I'm aware of it. I'm the owner and administrator for a PNW Scuba Diving forum and work directly with forum software all the time. But, back to Reef Tanks. Did anyone check out the "Finnex" products or have first hand experience with them...

Wow, just looked at the site. With that much traffic, I'd charge too. Personally, I prefer smaller sites like this one.

Sorry... I don't even know what RC is. However, I can assure you that this is only one of the sources of information I am using to educate myself, and I am doing a fair amount of reading before posting, as much as time will allow. However, when framed within the context of a contiguous...

Of course the finnex rely on a protien skimmer, which I have ZERO experience with and I hear can be a bit cranky.

Nope all of the information is great, Skip. You should write a book. Reef Tanks for dummies, I see it in your future. I talked to Chris today. He's really hot on a product by "Finnex" http://nanotuners.nanocustoms.com/nanot ... cts_id=155 which comes in both 20 and 36 gallon models...

OK then Skip... you mentioned that 290 GPH is "getting by" as far as water exchange. So, what I would like to know is, what is optimal? Is there a calculation or calculator out there I can use to determine the optimum number? Another question qoing back to RO/DI Water. Now, I am assuming that...

FYI, the correct English is "Octopuses" not "Octopi"

another question. (3) 24 watt PCs is the same as the stock tank (2) 36 watt lamps. No? Yes? Or I am assuming PC is different than CF? or is it PC/CF? What about T5 or VHO? I know, I'm blabbering again... and 290 GPH is not enough exchange for a 24 gallon tank? Assuming 6 gallons worth of...

Now keep in mind that I am the noob enthusiast around here, but I am also an experienced diver, and I have observed seastars for years in their natural environments. I can't say why this guy has put himself in the hole, but trust me, he isn't stuck. When he's ready to come out, he will. Then...

I thought the new model came with a surface skimmer? The promotional literature clearly shows "surface skimmer" is this something different? http://www.jbjlighting.com/sys_24g_nanocube.html

Well, that and I may get into this and discover that it's really quite a PITA for my current lifestyle. Small steps, ellie... small steps.

Yeah... the closest thing to a "local" fish store that I have is in Lewiston, ID. I am in Pullman, WA. (About 40 minutes) they recently purchased a bunch of these lights. Man I really want those nano cubes to be the solution... but sadly, it sounds like they just aren't. Well, I am going...

Regarding water... do all of you use Reverse-Osmosis filtered water? What's the advantage? We have poor water in our area. It all comes from an aquifer and has lots of mineral deposits in it. Very "Hard" as water goes. Currently, I do not have any water softening system at my home. When...

Here's a photo and some basic specs on the new hood http://www.petsolutions.com/Info.aspx?id=402

Yes, I saw that thread. I also posed this question to the folks who manufacture the Nano. Here's my question and their response: "My first question is... Is there truly enough light in the deluxe hood to sustain certain types of corals and anemones long-term? I know I have seen some sites...

But still, what do SPS and LPS *stand* for?

Now THAT is what I call a FRICKING AWESOME link. Perfect. Nice photos and everything. Bookmarked FOREVER! You guys should have this on your site!
