Does anyone do water changes using a simultaneous pump in/out method? Basically what I want to do is simultaneously pump out where water enters my...
Welcome to 3reef. Where are you from in NC?
That flood light I linked is a CFL and uses only 23W. It is equivalent to a 90W incandescent, but doesn't get hot at all. I think you are thinking...
I've got a few mantis shrimp I could send you. (If I succeed in trapping the buggers.) :)
This + That = good
Ok, I broke down and ordered the Ice Cap ballasts today (along with new bulbs - both PC and MH). Since my unit is brand new, I'll really get to see...
Oh, to be fair. I should include shipping and box charges. I got 200 lbs of very nice rock and 60 lbs of live sand for $700 + $90 box charges...

Just order it from one of the florida aquaculture companies. Several years ago, I ordered about 30-40 lbs from Tampa Bay Saltwater. Last week, I...

Ok, i'm "this close" to getting the ice cap ballasts and may as well get new bulbs. What temp bulbs and brand are you guys running with this fixture...

I don't have experience with acrylic, so I'm not sure (could be though.) I was sarcastic in my post. I would find it plausible that silica sand...
Hmmm, my tank is made out of silica. I guess I'm in trouble! ;) (Silica is glass. Glass is silica. Silica play sand is fine.)...
I put pieces of it in the sand as a foundation for the rock so that the rock would have a good foundation. I should have put the PVC pieces in before...
I was playing around with my camera today and decided I could get could some better pics, so I put them in the first post. -Clayton
Very nice pics! I especially like the one of the hermit.
Ah, I posted a pic after I got the live rock in yesterday in a separate thread. (Sorry, I should have just put them here.) Anyway, the thread is...
Yeah, i'm expecting it.
