    Dual 10G Back-to-Back Acrylic Tanks

    I was going to run a SCWD until I read more about 'em. They really kill your flow, so if you do decide to use one, I'd have some sort of polybag in your rear tank to trap crud and then get a pump that's way beyond what you need b/c the SCWD will just eat up flow rate. But...on the flip side if...

    What's the better buy in moonlights?

    I stand corrected, that r2 moonlight looks really good, I may just have to get one for my tank! I keep adding powersources and I think I may have to redo my powersetup in my stand, I need another strip for more stuff!

    What are your New Years plans?

    When people talk about me they always say, "There's something not quite right about him, he's just a little bit Phischy"...

    Cheap sumps & Negative health effects?

    I was just curious, that's all. I know it's been done often and for a very long time I just wasn't sure if there were any health problems long term. Now that I know this, I'll probably get a tall kitchen garbage can to use for my topoff. thanks

    Cheap sumps & Negative health effects?

    I've got a question for people who use rubbermaid (or equivilant) plastic tubs for sumps. Each and every type of plastic is a different grade depending on what's going to be stored in it. From basic plastic to food grade plastic. When I brew beer, I use food grade plastic 5 gallon bucket to...

    Phischy's Project PtIII: Actually have corals!

    Does anyone know why? It seems to be doing very well in my tank and it's actually growing. I wonder what it's lifespan is? This one I got out of Nate's tank so it's been in captivity for ballpark 4 months now. Sad if it will die, just means I won't get another one. Is it true that...

    Phischy's Project PtIII: Actually have corals!

    Good news and bad news. Bad news is I think I've got at least 3 more aipastia in my tank, and they're in really tough places to treat. Dammit! Two are on one piece of rock, and I really don't like that piece anyway so I'm contemplating just removing it entirely, the other one is near the...

    Looking for red or purple mushrooms

    I'll be sending you some pink ones as soon as the smaller ones grow out a bit more.

    What's the better buy in moonlights?

    The bar one that lights up to 3' (I think I linked to something similar) will be alot of light for a nano, the rest are spotlights, so you'll probably have to go through trial and error. I've got 1 watt units in a 40gal, so you'd probably want to go with 3/4 but it'd have to be mounted high in...

    Open Green Brains

    They reproduce sexually so i don't know what it's deal was, all back to normal today. I had some music playing so maybe it was just dancing.

    Open Green Brains

    My brain (not the one in my head) is doing something funky, maybe it's starting to split? One end of it is really puffed up big and the whole thing is twitching and moving about. How do these things reproduce? I fed it cyclops-ese via turkey blaster last night and the whole thing doubled...

    Chemi-pure...

    Ok, I see what's going on now. I was confused just scratching my head trying to figure out where the pollution was coming from. Thanks!

    very sllloooowww day

    All I can think about is the fun to be had this weekend and I'm still stuck here at work. This is killing me. My coworkers and I have come to the consensus that this is the slowest day on record. Ever.

    Chemi-pure...

    I'm confused, what do you have in your tank that would predict the need for carbon or chemi-pure? Is something producing waste, more than the live rock can handle?

    Phischy's Project PtIII: Actually have corals!

    Well I'll have to think about it then. My hookup for wholesale prices is now gone so I'd have to pay retail :x On the plus side I was at happy hour last night with Nate and a few of his coworkers that are major reef addicts and we were talking about crap in general when Matt told me he was...

    What are your New Years plans?

    I'm headed down to the beach area, I 'll park my car and then hide my keys until the next day. Last night I went down for a happy hour/going away thing and I couldn't believe how many cops were out. No one do anything stupid this new years. I'll be party hopping or something with friends, and...

    help!

    Thanks! My CA levels are fine right now so that would explain some of the rapid growth, I do plan on putting it in a fuge at some point. I may put it down on the sand just to keep it off my rock per incisors suggestion. Thanks everyone!

    Phischy's Project PtIII: Actually have corals!

    The brain was receeding, the rics were almost dead and the frogspawn already had 2 heads that died. Everything else was ok but is still doing much better than when it was in my tank. The brain came back, the rics are on their way and in the pic the purple shrooms I had distrubed while...

    Phischy's Project PtIII: Actually have corals!

    I told ya I'd send 'em to ya. Just let the temps across the nation come up a bit more and let things in my tank grow more so they are hopefully heartier. Then we'll swap! I'm also going to find that other guy and hopefully get some dark purple shrooms. Fragging is the only way to go!

    help!

    What I really want to know is this 'bad' or not? In the first picture the green piece on the right was nothing when I put this into my tank and it litterally grew overnight! Everything else seems to be maintaining it's current size. Although the green piece on the left has been bleaching a...
