Hello all. Here is my latest project. It took me a couple days to plan it and get everything worked out and maybe an hour to construct. First...
Thanks for all the replies guys. I got my DIY refugium up and running! I think this might be the 3rd or 4th time I have actually finished something...
Very much a newb question but I always buy my saltwater at the store because I am lazy. I am mixing up 1 quart of saltwater though for a refugium...
Alright guys I have another pump question. Mini-Jet Powerhead claims to be adjustable from 18gph to 108 gph. How safe are the adjustments on these...
Super nice 10 gal. Shame you are taking it down. Why not just have two tanks?
Welcome to 3reef. I am on the other side of Orlando from you in Kissimmee. How fast did you drive that it only took you 4 hours? ;D Or does that...
Welcome to 3reef. I grew up near pittsburgh, and am still a huge penguins fan. Tanks look great so far. The planted one is really nice. What are...

Hey guys. I am building a small DIY refugium for my mantis tank (20 long). The refugium's approximate dimensions are 7.5" long 3.5" wide and the...
horseshoe crabs are one of the coolest things IMO. It is really cool to see your baby hitch hikers. Thanks for posting.
I have to say no on the anemone if you get a clown mantis. O. scyllarus (clown mantis) requires very dim blue lighting, as they occur naturally in...
If your getting live rock I would put it all in at once. You don't want to add live rock after the first time as it may stretch out your cycle....
Looks really good man!
Video is ridiculous and does not accurately represent pistol shrimps. They are scavengers and use their claws for defense.
Second. Having extra shells will not stop crabs from killing snails. Put them in the fuge or something.
Definitely viewing from the inside. Figuring out a way to not obstruct the swimming line and getting people inside was the tricky part. I would put...
