    Hey everyone, well now that life has settled with the baby and universe is once again aligned in my world so it's time to get back into reefing (on a very small scale!) My son (now almost 3!) has become very interested in fish, corals and the like and it's the perfect excuse to get back...

    Hey everyone! Looking to get back in with a FOWLR type tank

    Hello everyone! Long time no post/see/chat! Hope everyone is well! The "first baby" craziness has subsided, the house is set, the yard is done and everyone is happy. I finally have a little time to put up a tank in our new place! As much as I would love to setup a full reef like before, I...

    Run an airline outside now that it's cold to keep PH up?

    So now that it's getting cold outside I can't keep the window right next to the tank wide open like I normally do. I've noticed my PH dropping A LOT. Before it would never drop below 8.01 at night and now it's going down to a new record last night, 7.66 Would running the air intake line on...

    Do you mount your MH ballast?

    Just curious what people are doing with their MH ballasts. Are you mounting them in the stand? In the canopy? sitting behind the tank? etc... Right now I have my 2 sitting on little plexi platforms I made inside the stand. They are sitting about 3" above the floor of the stand in case there...

    badbread (Jay's) 40g breeder

    Here we go, finally doing a tank journal for the new tank. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Moving the tank went very poorly. I setup everything, had containers cleaned and ready to go but thanks to a real piece of shit landlord situation (trying to keep my security deposit for...

    Marineland fish tanks

    Anyone have experience with these? Where to buy them? They sell an 18" x 18" x 18" cube that I *THINK* would make a great sump for my setup.

    Is my indo acan spawning or is it pissed off?

    So the girlfriend was checking out the tank tonight and called me over to it. She's yelling one of the corals is spewing out brown stuff. The tank move went pretty bad and I'm losing a few SPS but tonight it was LPS. I go over and check it out and I see brown wispy blobs literally shooting out...

    OT: Was going to install an HDTV on the wall until I saw this....

    Here is the wall I was going to mount it on: So I get out my stud finder, electrical wire detector, level thing and try to find the studs. Whilst trying to find the studs the little light indicating electrical wires or current was going berserk. I'm tripping out thinking this thing is...

    Building a canopy, this is my last construction question, I promise.

    So the last step in this tank build is a canopy. I've been playing around with Sketchup and came up with is. I am doing this totally blind, I don't even know where to begin but here is what I came up with: 2x4 frame Plywood skin Closed top: Open top: Open...

    Please take a look at my stand, not sure if we did it right (lots of pictures)

    So my GF's dad and I built a stand this weekend. Took us a while, her dad is handy with tools and woodworking but I'm not quite sure we understood the dynamics of building an aquarium stand. I was looking through that 70+ page thread on RC about building stands and a few things made me a little...
