  1. Enthusiasm renewed

    We've all been there. Your tank is on auto-pilot, you aren't making any new purchases, you see the same troublesome areas that need to be tended to but have little desire to actually get those cared for. Your patience is less than before, and what you want continues to be postponed by one thing or another. It's annoying, to say the least.

    For me, that was very frustrating. I set up my 400g in February 2011 and by this point I should have ...

  3. It's gone, at last!

    After 18 months, the 215g tank is finally gone. The tank, the stand, the canopy, the doors, the sump beneath... all of it is now in Mississippi, eight hours away. I posted the tank up for sale as soon as it was empty of livestock, and it sold in an hour. The owner knew it was a great deal, and a lot of local hobbyists bemoaned that sale because they wanted it as well. I just wanted it out of the fishroom because I needed the space.

  4. Pico (De Gallo) Lessons Learned

    I let the tank run for about 5 days and didn't see anything being picking up on the tests, at the LFS.
    So I decided to pick up some fish..
    A Little Cherub Angelfish, approx. 1.5" and a Yellow Watchman Goby, approx. 1" and a Candy Cane Pistol Shrimp.

    The first night the Cherub found a hiding spot and went to sleep. Nothing to worry about there.

    But the Yellow Watchman constantly tried to jump. Thankfully the tank came with a glass cover and he was ...
  5. Pico (De Gallo) 5g AquaTop Zen - Getting Back into Reefing

    It's been about 2 years since my last reefing experience.

    I have decided to get back into things with a tiny little guy!


    Picked it up on 11/13/13.

    My goal is to get a nice Zoa/Ricordia garden going on. Possibly might get a Goby/Pistol shrimp combo going on as well.

    This setup doesn't have a skimmer, it is just a little internal pump moving things through ...
