I was actually able to move my tank a little. I used my super human strength. lifted with my legs. I cut a little off the T and a little off the back of the bulk head as well. now I've got about an 1/8th of an inch between them and the wall. Works almost perfectly. I also swapped out the...

Well the crab dissapeared. found his shell last night. I'm freakin out that my tank is infested with copper. I know there isn't anyway to get ride of the copper if it is infact there, but do I have any hopes of it ever diluting enough that I can turn this into a reef someday? I'm gonna try...

have you tested your ammonia and nitrites yet? Keep us posted.

you have some really cool looking rocks. What are your plans for the tank?

I heard similar things. I think it depends on your setup and the skimmer that your using. Curious to see what people say about this topic as well. I have an ASM mini G and was looking for info on the proper height, but couldn't find anything. The directions just say put it in your sump and...

Re worked the rocks

Thanks Aaron. I don't know what kind of Anemone for sure. I like so many of them. I would eventually like to have a carpet anemone. I know that they are difficult though so I'll start out with a bubble tip or something. I had a bit of a scare yesterday. I bought a maroon clown and...

thanks for the inspiration. your tank is indeed beautiful.

Here are a few more pics

Here are some updated pics of my 12 gallon.

I like your rec for the Durso overflow. I hadn't seen that before but it looks like the easiest fix. my one problem is the bulkheads are one inch ID but the OD is like 1 3/8" 1 1/4 is too small and 1 1/2 is too big. I might have to swap those out anyway so I can get something that will fit...

I could only attach 3 pics to the first post for some reason. I guess those are my limits huh?

OK I've finally decided to post a few pics and start getting some input for my new 60 gallon. Let me know if you see anything off the wall. Remember I've only been in the hobby for 2 1/2 months and this is my first project. Be honest though. Thanks. ASM mini G. up to 75 gallons Mag 9...

look up the K2 Viper MH. I've heard people complain that the hinges come loose and it falls in their tank, but one guy said that's because they probably just weren't using it correctly. maybe he was just trying to sell me. anyway it's the cheapest MH I've seen and I've done a little...

Aloe is good for guys too. If your dehydrated and lost in the desert you can get water from it. put it on your skin to protect you from sun burn and all kinds of things. I've even used it for hair gel. I think if you drink it's juice it will even act as an appetite suppressant. That is one...

Jesse, It's funny that you say that about Coral Oasis because everything that you didn't agree with above was from Ben the owner of the store. They're nice people but they're inconsistent. The only one that is really helpful is Danny but that's because he just says I don't know. Kathryn or...

I have a 2x54watt tek T5 retrofit kit. I'm embarrased to admit this but I forget what the lamps are that I put in it. I know that one is blue and one is white. Anyway..... My LFS said that the blue actinic doesn't count as far as watts on the tank. It's more just for affect and the corals...

I don't think your calcium level matters because your not going to have hard corals that depend on it. phosphates are bad. get something to get rid of them and that will help with your algae problem. I take it you used tap water? the two tests that are most significant at this point from my...

It's only been a week right? the algae will go away if it's diatom. you can stir the sand a little to get it off but your hermit crabs will clean up the rock real well. Mine were like little lawn mowers. there were lines cut through the algae and they'd just keep going back and forth till it...

I figured you were just relating to my experience. My addiction came up pretty fast too. I've only wanted a SW tank since my honey moon in fiji, July 06 and my wife got me one for Christmas and has regreted it ever since. Now she hates my 60 gallon. hate actually isn't a strong enough word...
