I took my Dremel with a disc tip today and cut off the inner lip of the tank's rim...the black piece that the hood itself sits on. The lip was going to be in the way of the acrylic plate, so it had to go... I then spread a very thin layer of aquarium sealant over the inner shelf of the tank...

*bump* How about an update? How's it all working for you? Any more problems? -Flame

There was a LFS back up north where I used to live that would regularly sell LR for $8.99-$11.99/pound! The rock wasn't even all that great...oftentimes, it was base rock with a little bit of coralline and sponges on it. Talk about raping the consumer, huh? -Flame

You know, you really can't go wrong. Combined with a decent editing program, like Photoshop, and a web publishing program, like Dreamweaver, a digicam is a wonderful tool for documenting the progression of a salt tank from beginning to end. Thank god for them, I say :wink: -Flame

I'm still trying to find a good local dealer to buy my live rock off of...I'd much rather not go through all the hassle of having some shipped. Unfortunately, there aren't many good marine stores in my area (southeast New Hampshire), or if they are, they're expensive as hell. -Flame

If anyone is ever looking to buy a cheap, fairly decent digicam for taking shots of their tank, try out the Fujifilm FinePix A205...it's what I do all my shooting with. It's pretty much an entry level cam, but it works rather well (at least, better than my older digicam...hadta hook it up...

*serves up a tall, smooth glass of sparkling grape juice, ice cubes twinkling in the opaque liquid* Your drink is served, young man :D -Flame

It's a good start! :) If your crab isn't doing much of anything, he probably doesn't have anything to work on. After all, your tank is awfully small. Could just be that he powered through whatever stuff there was in there for him to work on, and now he's bored. Try switching him out for a...

*UPDATE* Alright, here's an update on the tank. My lighting plans have changed...instead of the 32W CSL retrofit, I'm going to do a suspended 20" Coralife 96W Quad hood. I'll remove the top, and epoxy on a custom shaped piece of acrylic over the top of the hood. No more wires hanging down...

It'll work, but you'd be much better off going with a 13w 50/50, like I showed you in your other post. Good luck with it all, btw, and be sure to keep us posted. -Flame

Clownfish know no boundaries when it comes to things they'll host in...if it has any semblance to the tentacles of an anemone, they'll host in it. I've heard and seen one that hosted in the antennae of a shrimp, if that tells you anything...try out anything that has somewhat long tentacles, the...

Maybe add a video section once the site has more people with vids to post? -Flame

2 Perculas in a 20g might not work out too well...they can be rather temperamental with each other, unless you get an already mated pair. Just my two cents. -Flame

I have the filter and light pieces for an Eclipse System 6, unused, if anyone's looking for it. The filter is good if you have a System 6 and want to keep the standard fitlration, and the light....well, you may be able to salvage some decent wiring and stuff from it :wink: Make an offer...

My friend Jeremy and I found them purely by chance one night two years ago, and we've been hooked ever since. We've only so far been able to drool over the corals...never had a decent chance to order any. -Flame

Anyone been to the Boston Aquarium since they revamped the whole thing? I've been dying to go there, but I haven't had a chance to yet... -Flame

That's exactly where I got mine. And thanks for not calling it Death-Co...I work at the Portsmouth Petco in New Hampshire, and our store is most certainly not like that. I hate how people generalize because of a few stores. While their methods may not be the best, we do try to take care of...

I was never a big fan of Friends...it was always too trendy for my tastes. I was always too busy watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 :wink: -Flame

For those of you who are also on nano-reef.com, you may know my tank...a 6g Eclipse. Well, if you know of the tank, you also know it's in the middle of a major custom job, and I'm going to chronicle that here. Here are the specs so far: Tank: 6g Eclipse Lighting: 2 13W PCs (one Actinic...

Actually, wiz, I've kept a setup exactly like that before. As long as you mark off the water level when you first fill it, and make sure it stays at that water level, keeping the salinity constant isn't a problem. As for the other water parameters...you just have to be careful. Don't put...
