electricity for the tank and maintenance costs probably run about what I was spending for my mortgage 10 years ago.
It is a slightly different story if you find a good deal on a tank that you want and are going to keep it set up and enjoy it now. Of course this...
Glad to be back. As to whether the tank is still up... not exactly. Here is my tale of woe: round about the end of March I had to attend a...
In the mean time, this is a great opportunity to read, read, read, and ask more questions. Stay active on 3reef and maybe see if there's a good local...
If you are really planning to not set-up your new or upgraded tank for 5 years, I would suggest against buying things now. Financially, it's...
For those who haven't given up entirely on the thread, yes I'm still alive. The fish are too (at least the 14 bullet-proof souls that survived the...

I couldn't figure out a way to add a poll to the great thread started by OTTY...
I use a Rubbermaid tub for my reservoir. I think it holds in the 15-20 gal range and it does fine on a system a bit larger than yours.

I have several species that I particularly fond of but on the rare side it's the Borbonius anthias [IMG] [IMG] and on the more common side...
