I'm in Orlando for a few days and decided to go visit an LFS by my moms house. It's called living reef. I miss the stores from Florida. Lots of really nice $10 frags. I wish I could get some but I'm not sure checking bags with coral will work. They had two pretty rare tangs In the store...

Which do you use and why do you prefer it?

I am building my stand for my 13 gallon cube tank this weekend. This will be the 3rd stand I have built. Every other time its been a traditional stand with doors. This time Im doing it with a modern style to it and I want the entire front panel to come off. Thinking about attaching the top of...

Why doesnt a manufacturer make some heat sinks and add some nice side pieces so that the heat sink can be used as a fixture without having to modify it? I know lots of people do this themselves but side panels that are built into the heat sink sure would look nice and make things easier. I...

anyone have anything that gets rid of them? I could use some if someone does.

I have been out of the reefing game for quite some time. I think its been 2-3 years. Some may remember me some may not. I still have a shallow rimless ~60 gallon DSA tank sitting in my garage waiting to be filled with water but that wont happen for atleast another year. Im still in an...

I guess I should attend the meeting tonight since the topic is about this. But the MAVS are on TV tonight! I plan on getting this unit for my auto top off http://www.autotopoff.com/products/DS1/ alt=""> I am also going to get the run dry protection as show here...

I have never used a auto top off. I plan on installing one very soon though. Do the kits such as the JBJ kit have a sensor that shuts the pump off if the top off container is empty? Wouldnt want the pump to keep pumping if the top off container was empty. Also should I DIY it or buy a kit...

I have gone 3 days without feeding my fish while I was out of town. I have a yellow tang, sixline wrasse, and a clown. The wrasse and the tang can find stuff to eat on their own but I dont think the clown has that ability (not sure). I plan on leaving for a 5 day mini vacation and was...

Has anyone done this around here yet? I read a thread over on reef central ( http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1457056&perpage=25&pagenumber=1 ) that was about some guy in San Antonio who did this. It seems to work well. Im in the commercial roofing business and we...

My 40 breeder is current running one 175 MH bulb and parabolic reflector pictured here... alt=""> I want to add 2 T5's to add supplimental lighting. My problem is the reflector runs the full 18" from front to back. If I turned the reflector sideways it would work because I could run 36"...

I have though about pairing a Black Ocellaris clownfish with a normal Orange colored Ocellaris clownfish. In theory you would think they don;t know what color they are and it should work fine. I have also seen this done in a persons tank and it was fine. Anyone object to this?

I have one 175 watt MH over my 40 breeder. How long should I run it for. Right now I have it set for about 7-8 hours.

I am about done with my DIY canopy. I still need to stain it and install the light. Im going to be using one 175 watt Iwasaki 15000k MH bulb and a reflector. I need to figure out what fan to use. Are computer fans good or should I use a small clip on from walmart or something. Here are pics...

I just set up my 10 gal sump under my 40 breeder. I have a Quiet One 2200 which is 581gph. I used to have this sump under my other 40 gallon tank and it was fine using the HOB overflow. The water is draining into the sump and its cming down fast! Its making bubbles and just too much overall...
