  1. Helfrichi added, what a marvelous fish.

    Added my Helfrichi today! I was expecting him to hide immediately and not come out for a while... which was not the case. He hovered in the middle of the water column and all of the resident fish came up one by one to greet and check him out. Male maroon touched nose to nose for a few seconds and I think they will be best of friends. No aggression to speak of which is awesome. When I first added the Mystery Wrasse, everyone picked on him for a few days so I'm really glad with how things turned out. ...

  2. The One has been found!

    by , 10-27-2010 at 09:04 AM (T.I.B.E.T (The Incredibly Big Expensive Tank))
    We've selected our builder! I'm also tweaking the size of the original overflow, I need something to handle max 6000gph. The tank should be installed in December if my schedule and the builder's works out. I'm working too much to make November a possiblity. I need to take some days off for the builder because of the fact that the tank needs to be built on site.

  4. I finally made the plunge… ok well maybe just a dip.

    Good Day all
    First let me say a Huge thank you to Marc for the dedication he has given to this hobby as it has inspired me to finally get to this point. FYI I know full well and I am sure Marc will be one of the first to point out that he is just one of many out there giving back to this hobby. Although for me he seems to have been at the center of saltwater info.
    A quick background for me is that I started with a fresh water tank (30gal) for Oscars ...

  5. 245 & 180 Gallon Display and Breeding Room - A big change of events

    After much thought and consideration came to a rather big decision regarding this build. All along I was struggling to really fit the 180 G tank (my current reef) into the fish room. After playing around with the tape measure, purchasing 2 100G rubbermaid feed troughs, and some consideration, I decided that I am going to build my 180G into the wall and keep it the current SPS reef that it is today. As for the 245G, that is going to be a large angel, butterfly species tank. Both tanks ...
