    Hey Phil, Kitch40 here, Do you have any photos of the turf agae filter you have built? I am thinking of building one but am unsure of where to position it. it seems above the tank might be best. I wondered where you are putting yours? Thanks , Marc

  5. I have the scrubber finished, but am working on a new shelf to go above it that the lights will hang from. I should have it up and running by the weekend. Watch for a new blog detailing construction, installation and results.

75 Gal build Stage 1, Planning

by Alaska_Phil on 05-04-2012 at 12:44 AM
As most of you know I'm getting the 55 gal set up I gave away a year ago back. And planning to upgrade it to a 75.

Step 1, Research
I've just finished rereading parts of "Aquarium Corals" by Eric H. Borneman, which prompted me to get a copy of "Natural Reef Aquariums" by John H. Tullock. I really like Tullocks ideas for a biotype aquarium that replicates one reef zone, from one part of the world.

Currently I only have 2 species of fish. 1 false

Power Outage! :(

by Alaska_Phil on 04-25-2012 at 12:15 AM
For the last few weeks I've been looking after a pair of reef aquariums for a friend of mine. One of which is my old 55 gal setup that will be moved back to my home soon. The other is his 40 breeder set up. Well, when i stopped by there tonight things were awefully dark and quiet.

I quick investigation reveled that the 55 had no power at all, and only 1/2 the lights and 1 power head were running on the 40. I quickly located the electrical panel and tried to reset the expected tripped

Sites to see in Vegas?

by Alaska_Phil on 04-17-2012 at 01:41 PM
Looks like I'm going to be spending a week in Vegas at Light Fair next month. I'll have a couple evenings free while I'm there and wondered if there were any reef related sites to see or shops to check out while I'm there? Not really interested in gambling or shows.
Thanks.

Back in the Game!

Looks like I'm getting my old 55 gal set up back soon!

Here's what it looked like a year ago when I had to give it away.

I'm currently shopping around for a used 75 to upgrade too.

And here's what it looks like today.



The algae is pretty bad, but the corals are all still thriving.

Good News, more Good news and Bad news.

by Alaska_Phil on 03-13-2011 at 11:18 PM
Good News: Since moving my saltwater tank home from the office where I used to work a week ago, I havn't seen any trace of my pistol shrimp/antenna goby pair. Tonight I noticed a mound of sand in front of a shrimp sized hole. So at least the shrimp is still alive.

Good News: I applied for a job last wednesday, and interviewed for it on Friday. I have a follow up interview tomorrow! So There's a very promising chance I'll be employed again after only 4 weeks after being
