    2005 Tank of the Summer Contest

    It's about time, I saw this setup back in December and I had to be quiet about this contest. Still too bad I can't enter, I'm a moderator and my tank is 2x too big! Maybe if I took a pic of the left 20gals, and then a pic of the right 20gals? ha ha sucks to be me :sad:

    how big

    Here's a thought. Are you going to drill the back of the tank or the bottom? If you drill the back, get at least two holes put in for skimming via a cup. I only have 1 hole and I really really wish I had two put in to double my surface skim capability. Live and learn, of course I wish I...

    Phischy's Quest: Pt IV

    Well, the yellow clown is alive, he moved downstairs and was chillin' in the sump, I bet the ride down the rabbit hole was fun. He hasn't done it again. I also got a new fish, be dammed if I know what it is though, some sort of blenny. He's white with brown tiger stripes and has decided he...

    Cause and reason for deforestation

    It can under the right enviornmental conditions and the wrong harvesting practices. There are two instances when this can happen but in both the following environmental conditions must be met: Conditions: Clear cutting, root systems are still left in the ground and when the canopy is removed...

    Cause and reason for deforestation

    Ok, well without getting into specifics deforestation covers a huge swath of territory. The problem as I see it can be catagorized into two main sections that do overlap. They would be causes due to natural ebb and flow in the ecosystem and problems due to man. Both are found in all forests...

    More Flat Worm Problems

    I should have a QT tank as well, I may get one b/c this is a real pain in the butt. The LFS told me a 5 to 10 second freshwater (RO/DI) dip would kill most flat worms. I haven' tput a new coral in a long time so I'm thinking one egg survived and they just keep coming back. I'm going to dose...

    The Goniopora Secret

    http://www.thevl.com/gallery/reeftank/a ... _22_05_web Although I think it's much bigger now. It touches the LR and even some shrooms without any apparent damage/stress/fighting. I really like it so I hope it is able to stay alive for a long time.

    More Flat Worm Problems

    Dammit...theyyyyy're bacccckkkkk it! I'm so mad, these little boogers just won't die and leave me in peace! I heard something at a LFS and I wanted to bounce it off the board. I was told that they are photo synthetic and aside from hoping FWE works, the other three options are...

    The Goniopora Secret

    Is there any major difference between the goni's and alvi's? I bought a pink avli off of a friend and it's been doing fine in my tank for 5 months and he had it in his for at least 6. Skimmer full bore, nitrates/nitrites near zero. The thing is huge and doesn't show any outward sign of...

    Cause and reason for deforestation

    Are we supposed to post our thoughts on the subject? I do not want to do a students work for them. However, if they are looking for ideas for areas to research then I don't mind downloading my brain here. FYI, I graduated from Texas A&M 1999 with a BS in Forestry Science. Now I garden...

    Phischy's Quest: Pt IV

    I'll move him tonight and see what happens, it's only been in my tank 2 or so weeks so more observation is warranted. Just really strange that my zoas and shrooms are propigating like mad and yet I can't keep a candy cane alive. My colt and xenia are doing well as with everything else, just...

    Phischy's Quest: Pt IV

    My tank has been up for 5 months now, everything seems to be going well. I've got it moderately stocked and no real desire to change anything on it other than to watch things grown. One interesting thing, I can't keep LPS. Both of my Candy Canes were receeding so I sold one off (with full...

    Battery Backup

    Beats me. I know the guy now, he's on sdreefs and I'm going to put my anoreix purple candy canes in his tank this weekend. HOepfully they'll recover there. I'll ask about his battery backup system again.

    Fish ExpressWay.. ( FEW),, Check this out ....... expressway

    For all that effort you'd think they'd have something a little more exciting than a couple of 40 gallon tanks on either side. It just looks rediculi.

    I've been around. My tank is sort of on auto pilot for awhile, trying not to dump too much cash (yeah right!) into it as of late. Had a big problem with flatworms until I dumped in 1/2 the bottle of FWE. HOpefully that'll take care of those little boogers. Otherwise I spend more time...

    shitshitshitshitshitshitshit

    Ok, Major problems with my tank. All of my candycanes are receeding! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong! I've noticed it for awhile but I didn't know what was happening b/c I've never had this coral before, I though things were splitting. It's about 14" down from 220w of PC lights. 1/2...

    Overflow slots

    How high the water will get will depend on the volume of water that can flow through the area you've cut depending on how many gph the sump pump will be returning. To my knowledge it's a trail and error type thing. On my overflow it is well above the grooves I've cut, it can't pass through...
