  1. Somebody stop me

    I stoped by a lfs and found these tanks today. I was just wondering if any one has seen these set ups before. I am in the process of making room in the basement for my fish room which has been kind of slow due to me being crippled up from a work injury in 08 so depending some on a bother in law that thinks im nuts. Taking out a 5 ft thick sandstone block and dirt support wall has really sucked, but since im now retired at 36 i need to full some time so i going to get back into it with both feet. ...
  2. Closed Loop pump size?

    I've got a SCWD new in the box that's been sitting around for a few years. I've always been afraid to use it since i had hair algae problems and was afraid it would clog up continually. Well, the Algae problems are a thing of the past, so I'm dusting it off. My Tank is a 50 long, mixed reef.

    Any idea what pump rating I should go with? I'm thinking around 1,000 gph.

    Anyone have any experience with the Panworld pumps that BRS carries?

    Thanks
    Phil ...

  3. Last update for a while

    I just have a small update that I forgot to post on reefaddicts. The project is on hold for now until my wife and I decide if we are going to move again. I found out on New Year’s Eve that I am going to be a father so the tank is taking the backseat for now.

    I received my chiller which I got a steal on. I haven’t had a chance to try it out but hopefully soon. When I got it the display was not where it was suppose to be but I don’t think anything was damaged. It just sits in the ...

    So after I drained my tank from the bulging ordeal I decided to really go over the tank, Boy was I really disappointed! I noticed little cracks around where the front and side panel met the bracing. I really never noticed ...

  5. Soooo depressed.........

    So I came home today, after a long day of shoveling snow, to find all of my fish dead. Don't know what the hell happened. My corals seem to be doing ok. Most of my zoos are open, my acans are fine and my shrimp is still alive for now. So I did a 5 gallon water change and turned up my skimmer. We will see what happens tomorrow. My lights just went out. What the hell......
