Well for the past four months now I have been reef-less and it's seriously killing me. I had to sell my 3 reefs for a move to a new city. I'm all settled in now and ready start my next reef. I am currently having a custom acrylic tank and sump built by a very talented local club member. The tank measures 36X24X16 and will hold roughly 60 gallons. Here is a sample photo of a similar tank that my friend has built. ...
So, I wasn't crazy about the potential energy consumption of this new hobby. All the pumps, heaters, lights, timers, skimmers.... I saw a post about using a sky light and I thought that it would be a slick place for one. I went up in the attic and verified that I would only have to move some electrical and one beam. The bean was actually a stringer accross the ceiling joists, so I felt that I could cut it out and move it over when the time came. I added the skylight to google sketch up. ...

Got that fish from a store on the cheap because it had signs of previous HLLE disease. It made it through four moves, two tank changes ...
Yes, I was wondering if anybody knew or had a list of aquarium manufactures. Trying to figure out who made my tank, I thought there use to be a sticker on it naming the manufacture, but i cant find it anymore. Trying to figure out if my tank has tempered glass or not. Any help would be greatly appcratied.
