Hello all! I'm glad to see all awesome tanks! I am on a short break as I am getting some of my ducks in a row! I have it setup to when I get a pm I get an email so pm away if need be. :wlift

A great suggestion came in where as if you put a link to you tank build in the signature line it will be easy for someone to see your tank and what you have gone through. It can help us find each others builds with out having to search through out the forums. It's quite easy to do as well...

So it's finally here. I purchased this tank to downsize my 90 gallon due to my move into a condo. I choose this tank due to the integrated HQI and my experience with the smaller cubes. My hopes are to not have to modify this too much. I may invest in a chiller (only summer will tell), upgrade...

Well I got this setup up for a killer price - free. I am 99% positive that this is the 12 gallon model. I had to replace the pump (an equivalent to the maxi jet 600) and I'm sure the lights will need replacing (it has two power compacts, stock lighting I'm sure). But it has the surface...

Ok I seem to have a bit of ... tension in the tank. I have a school of 3 firefish and a pair of ocellarus clown fish. The firefish where in the tank first and chose their home. Waited a week or so and added in the clowns and they took the firefish spot. Actually the clowns seem to own the...

I have my 90 gallon up and running and it currently is a FOWLR. But, I always knew I wanted to have coral so I am looking at lighting and think I have found a rather nice retro kit to install in my canopy. But I would like all of you thoughts and opinions. I am thinking 2 x 250 watt MH...

I trusted my LFS guy.... I am not too savvy on fish compatibility and asked if this Flame Hawk would pose a problem in my tank. Of course he said no, but I did some research and apparently I have a buffet for a Hawkfish. The tank is 55g but the current and future inhabitants will be/are: 2...

Well I finally started the 55 gallon. I got the tank and stand in a trade and they were both that fake ugly oak trim so I painted it black :) Painted the back dark blue and put in some pink fiji sand along with about 60 pounds of live rock. I know I haven't topped it off yet, but I am...

Ok. My freshwater lobster (Ramon) passed away. And now I have a 30g oceanic hex tank that is empty (well I have freshwater plants in there now). Any ideas on a non-coral theme tank? The reason I say non-coral is because I can not spring for the MH that I would need for this tank, so I will...

Ok stupid question. Egg crate. Where in the world do I buy just a small section (online vendors sell by the carton, at least the ones I've found). I've heard home depot but couldn't find it. Is it called something else to the non-fish world? :turnip

I am a bit concerned about the flow in my sump. I have a 10g display and my sump is a 10g as well. I've drilled two holes in my display, one for a drain and the other for my return. I'm using 3/4" pvc on the drain and flex on the return with a T section. (the T section returns to a refuge in...

Been doing a bit a research online and was hoping to get a bit of help from you all. Would like to find a digital camera that can: 1. Take pictures in both JPEG and RAW formats. 2. Has at least 4x optical zoom (12 would be better, or at least the ability to add an attachment later) 3. Has a...

This is the frag swap area I know but i have no frags (or corals at all for that fact). But could I purchase frags off of people here? I would be looking for the odd mushroom, ricordia, or zoas. My tank won't even be set up until April 13th (house closing :thumbup: ) but just kinda curious...

Well this company has a wonderful to deal with customer service section. I purchased a light (2x40 watt current CF) and it came with a bad bulb. A simple call and I had a free replacement that arrived in two days free of charge. They even went through a couple troubleshooting steps to ensure...

Ok I'm doing a 10g with a 10g sump and want an Indo-Pacific reef tank with a max of two fish, one that swims more towards the top and one that stays on the bottom. I have been reading online and reading books and now have TOO much info and am having trouble sifting through it all. HELP...

I just got my orbital 80w fixture and love the way it looks but I am a bit concerned about how this amount of light will affect my 10 gallon tank. The LFSs say I'm going over board and won't be able to keep a lot of corals due to the large amount of light I'll be using. Now I've seen great...

I plan on having these corals: Sun Coral Frogspawn Red open brain Colt Soft Coral Yellow Leather Soft Coral Xenia But I am a bit stumped on the phrase spot feed. :isorry Do I get an eyedropper like item and squeeze shrimp at the coral? I know how to feed the Sun Coral...

Hello all, I have been reading up on reefcentral on nanotanks and was directed to this site (which has been very helpful from just reading other posts). Here are a couple of questions I have about my first setup. The general layout is a ten gallon tank with a ten gallon...
