You'd think by now i'd have new critters in my tank. AFter battling the evil pods and winning (hooray for the home team!) I've been waiting to get together with Nate to make a transplant of his tank inhabinents to mine. We keep getting too busy due to the time of the year but this Friday we're...

This was a ready to run unit off the shelf, included housing, LED and powersupply. Maybe I've got too much cash to burn (ha, not really) but I would have had to go buy a sodering gun and everything else to do it so I went the easy route and just bought it ready to go off the shelf. I may try...

When I was buying mine a guy at the store recomended taking a small diameter white PVC pipe and cutting it lengh wise to give you a 'half piple' and mounting the leds into the axis and toward each other so the light would be dispersed along the length of the pipe and the white acts like a...

I've got a titanium heater in my sump, question though, should I keep the therometer in the sump or in the display tank? Both are in the sump right now, but it's a much smaller volume of water. or should they both be about the same? I really should have used two smaller heaters so if one goes...

I've already got adaware running, have had it for a year or so. My problems started as soon as I installed SPII. All my previous shields were up and SPII took some of them down. Don't ask me how cuz I don't know. Competition inspires quality so I encourage everyone to support 3rd party...

That's not the point. Prior to installed SP II everything did work peachy keen. I was using the built in XP firewall and a 3rd party antivirus. I think follow MS advice and install SPII and then everything goes to hell. This is why I'm so sick and tired of the total crap product Microsoft...

Conn-ban Memphis. It's as easy as that. There's not a lot else you can do. I would suggest formalizing the agreement on the site so everyone can see and then not to ship before you've recieved payment. It's not full proof but what else are you going to do? That and everyone else should...

I checked all the settings, visited MS website for help etc... now I've got popus when I shouldn't and the damn blocker blocks the ones I want. Arggghhhh...very frustrating. Plus for whatever reason I'm getting alot of error pages these days, also not an issue before the install. Firefox...

I never had problems with popups until after I went with MS SP II. Now they're a huge problem! So for me, SP II was a huge step backward. Firefox is the way to go.

The good thing about refractometers is that they are dual use, you can also use them to determine the alcohol content of homebrew beer! This is now 2 reasons why I should buy one!

It's a setting within the program. After you've made so many posts you get another fish colored in. And the little title under your handle will also change. Just little things to show how often people post etc...

I've got a 40gal with a 15 gal sump with about 10gal of water in it. My main source of info for tanks and I want to build my tank into a reef which should start happening shortly. I've been cycling and dealing with pests lately. I do want to add fish but he's dead set against it. But...

No evil pods to report, I'm hoping they're all gone/starved to death. I think my tank is uber clean as the crabs are eating the snails and it's more than just for their shells as there are plenty in there of varying sizes. Bad news: my atinic bulb went out, so I had to replace it. I hope...

It's my understanding the only way copper would be added is if you medicated some of your fish in the tank. I would make sure to wash out the tank throughly and to not reuse much equipment. I think a skimmer is going to be necessarly to remove fish waste, BUT if you do water changes 2x a...

I'm not the biggest expert on fish in nano's, but I think two clowns will be way too much for 5 gallons unless you're incredibly efficient at maintence. You will need a skimmer, espically if you plan on putting fish in. As much live rock as you can cram in there as well (within reason). I'm...

That sun coral is breathtaking. May I ask what you need to keep those alive as far as lighting is concerned?

I know, it is probably a good idea and I know the worst thing you can do with a reef tank is to jump the gun and rush anything. I'm thinking I may pull some of the rock out and sort of blast it in a 5gal bucket to see if I can't shake any of those buggers loose. My moon lights look...

Ok, water parameters are all pretty much A-OK. So today I went out and got two 1watt LED moonlights and installed them. They do have a spotlight effect and one guy at the store mentioned that if you cut a piece of white PVC pipe lengthwise and aim the led's down the 1/2 pipe it'll be much more...

I'd really have to buy that harpoon to get that SOB out of my tank. Of course, 1/2 my water would be on the floor if he crawled in there. That thing creeps me out man, I bet I'm going to have my first nightmare in 20years.

Jimminey Christmas!!! I was spying on my tank last night and I saw a swarm of little squigglers crawling all over my rock. I guess something just hatched. Dammit. The problem is I don't know what they are and if I should get up in arms yet. There are litterally so many there is no way...
