  1. Quick Questions

    So after asking the wife about my bookshelf tank she nixed the idea. She did mention though I can put whatever I want in the cellar after I clean it and move the treadmill and exercise bike down there. Now some questions. I have a house built in 1880, the cellar really is a "cellar" think creepy rock walls and stuff like in a horror movie. It has a concrete floor that is not exactly level. There are also some black rat snakes that like to dwell in there in the spring before moving out ...

  2. Careful with button polyps, they spread like crazy!

    I used to have a 12 gal. aquapod, and since upgrading to my 55 I have decided to go with all sps/lps and zoas. One of the few holdovers left from that tank is a rock of turquoise blue palys that is absolutely stunning in actinic light. Unfortunately I just don't have room for them in the tank, and in the process of moving around some coral I just threw it in the corner behind my rose bta. Man, that thing spreads, drops frags, and they attach to the rock fast! If I put a small frag of them close ...

  3. The Tankless Reefer'ette - Blog 2

    So I was "this" close to getting an Aquapod 24 yesterday. A close friend of mine was breaking his down and put it up on the local boards for sale. He didn't name a price so that is probably why I wasn't turned off of the idea completely to begin with. Of course he said for me to name my price and of course I couldn't because I'm sitting here thinking ... "you could be an awesome friend and just give it to me ". In the end he offered to trade my very favorite ultra wide angle lens for the tank ...

  4. Blue sparkles/lights in sump when adding RO

    I should have made my first ever post something better but this was pretty cool. Tonight when I added the topoff water to my sump the were a few at first, then tons, then tapered back off, of blue lights/sparkles everywhere. Has anyone noticed this before?

  5. ReThought Ideas

    Well,

    I was going to set up my 33 gallon as a reef. I have decided to put this on hold for a little bit. I have the 33 gallon. I also have few other pieces, a 700 gallon overflow kit, a mag 7 pump, a reef octopus rated for 250 gallons(I know), and some other odds and ends. My new plan is to redo my 30 gallon freshwater tiger barb tank first. I will upgrade them to the 33 gallon with a smaller overflow kit and return pump. I will also get some much needed experience building a sump out ...
