That rock isn't going anywhere but with me to San Fran (if the job comes through). I'll drive it out myself if I have to!
Well... I get attached...
So... I think there is an 80% chance that I need to break down the tank :( The reason is that I think there is an 80% chance that the job...
Is there any uplifting news on the site? I get too depressed reading all the global warming stuff - especially about people who don't give a crap or...
I recently posted a message about UV sterilizer power required to kill ich. Basically you'd need probably six times what you've got now to have a...
Some blennies (and the midas is one of them) will dramatically alter their color when they feel threatened. If they feel really threatened they will...
For those of you in an earthquake zone, do you take any special precautions with your tanks? Any horror stories?
I agree on going with reflectors. Painting is better than nothing, but not nearly as effective as a good aluminum reflector that will reflect back...
Look at the smaller 4-cycle generators like those from Honda. They are quiet and have power inverters to keep the power clean for electronics....
That's what you'd have to do to get the required exposure, but on any decent sized tank running ~100 gph isn't going to cycle enough tank volume...
I have the Reef Octopus Super Reef 5000 - happy with it.
I've been in this hobby for nearly 30 years and as long as I've known about UV sterilizers I've been under the impression that they will kill ich in...

Here are some initial aquascaping shots. Still some additions to be made here, but this is the beginning. Not happy with the left side of the tank at...
Honestly, when the tank was empty and the T5s were on I couldn't tell much difference. More to come when corals are in the tank.
A few more shots - I'm not going to post a full tank shot until I get more rock in. Here is the final base plate shape. We cut more from the...
So it's been a marathon... My friend from Maryland came in this weekend to help out with the move. Without him it would have royally sucked. We...
So the aquascaping started today! First step was cutting the PVC plate so it was no longer square. I'll probably be cutting more off prior to the...
You're going to have to wait until Friday. Aquascaping begins then! :)
So with the exception of cleaning up the wiring under the tank and programming my Neptune Apex, I've got the tank wired! Pics: Here is the full...
