  1. New Reef Tank Update

    Rearranged the rock a little, to get a little depth in the tank. It is kind of hard to show the depth with a picture like this, but the left side rock actually is too close to the front glass, and goes all of the way back to about an inch from the back....

    RO/DI is installed, and we ran it for a couple of hours last night. Made about 8-9gal.
    We chose to install in way up on the wall, about halfway between the water valve and where the mixing barrels will be, so that we have no ...

  3. Something New!

    I went to the LFS to pick up some regular maintenance things and checked out the coral tank only to see a poor little Green Slimer coral. It arrived at the LFS not it to great of shape. The owner gave it to me at a large discount needless to say. Here is a pic of it...notice the brown on it...Right now I have it on the sand bed but plan to slowly move it up in my tank. I wanted to give it time to really acclimate to my tank. Any suggestions on making it more healthy?

  4. Help me pick my next MH bulbs

    Right now I'm running two 400watt MH (PFO ballast) XM 15K bulbs (SE), and it's time to change them out. I'm considering trying a different brand and just wanted to get some feedback from here. I will also be supplementing with a Super Actinic and a 454 VHO from UVL.


    Thanks!

    The wall we intend to place Tibet in. This was us lining everything up to make sure both myself and my other half could enjoy a good view of the tank. I'm short, he's tall, but we found somewhere to meet in the middle.



    After much demo this is what we had left. We appropriated the basement bathroom to be our fishroom, and have opted to move the bathroom to a more appropriate space.
