I feel like I lost some love for AA, and I felt kind of bad. And also I really miss this place. So I decided to share my new build with you guys! Hopefully some people will forgive me for leaving? :oops: Anyways, It's a fast moving build, fortunately, and it's already growing to be something...

So, for those of you who don't know me, I'm in the habit of building custom setups, and then selling them. It just comes natural to me. I build it, I think I'm going to set it up, and then I sell it. Well, I got pretty tired of that, and I really missed caring for a saltwater aquarium and all of...

Is anyone familiar with this style of planted tanks? I'm really interested in setting one up, because it looks like I wouldn't need a CO2 setup. Is that right?

Hello ladies and gentlemen. It would seem that I am back. I probably won't updated this thread as much as my thread on N-R, but i will update it none the less. Still, i'll answer any questions you guys have and I will try and provide as many pictures as I can. I don't have any plans on...

Alright. I have a 20x20x10 aquarium. I want to keep mainly zoanthids, playthoas, some LPS, and a few variations of SPS. Also i want to keep one maxi mini anemone. I want to retrofit 2 18" Current T5HO fixtures together. So that would be about 72Watts of T5HO light over roughly 9.5" of water...

Hey guys, it's been a while, got a couple questions. For anyone out there that has experience with LED's, lets say i had an aquarium 20x20x10. Would this kit be enough to keep SPS and a maxi mini anemone later down the road? I just want to know if 24 LED's are enough to pretty much support...

Alright so, I'm thinking of building my own tank since i've gotten pretty good at building sumps and all that. And now, with more space between the contact points i should be able to make the silicone job strong and durable while still being aesthetically pleasing. But first, a couple questions...

So.. i've been thinking lately about downgrading my tank to accommodate my main rock structure. It holds all of my coral and is put together nicely and i think it looks awesome. Once corals grow out on it i think it would look stunning. Anyways, how should i go about doing this? I want to get...

zomg.. i'm in the FW section. Anyways.. i was thinking about starting a small FW project. About 10G... the dimensions are 18in X 10.5in X 12in. First question is about the lighting. I have a T5HO light, that is a 2bulb fixture, and each bulb is 18w. I have one Actinic bulb.. and then either...

I see you.... And here's the best part. He readily eats frozen bloodworms and mysis shrimp. I saw him gobble down all the frozen food at the LFS today. That's the only reason i picked him up. Plus.. he was swimming around and about and just looked plain healthy. He got right to work on my...

Alright.. seems that my Aqua Lotus Eaters have been staying semi-closed yesterday and today. They open up sometimes, and then halfway closeup whenever a copepod runs over or near the polyp. I don't have any fish or animal in my tank to control the pod population, so there are TONS or them. All...

Got me some zoas from the above. They look awesome under my MH light.. but i need some actinic supplementation BAD. Anyways, here's the picherz. Aqua Lotus Eaters I think these are the Lavender / AquaFade Blue with Neon green skirts Seafoam Green Yellow zoas A random pic i thought...

Alright.. the first one if a chalice.. but which kind i have no clue. Hopefully someone can identify it? I don't really care about names.. i just want to know if this one in particular likes high/low flow and high/low lighting. It's chillin in mid-tank right now.. Not sure what this one...

So, does anyone know how to perform the KH test kit? Or whatever lol.. It took me 10 drops to make the water go from blue to bright yellow. Anyone know what that means? I lost the instructions to the KH part.. which is why i'm asking.

They aren't flatworms.. but they're extremely small.. almost even too small to see and they're all over my glass and my rocks. I mean not like infestation level where you can't even see the rocks.. but i can see them lol. They are little worm like creatures that are red in color. My coral is...

So check this out guys. Went to my LFS to grab a couple pieces of live rock to seed my base rock, and so i picked out a couple coralline packed, nice looking rocks. I just happened to get a rock that had a weird looking coral skeleton on it. Didn't care, it had coralline and was cured so i...

You guys notice anything fishy about this site? Shipping seems pretty good and the prices seem pretty good too. Anyone ever purchased from them or know anyone that has? $20 and Under : FragFrenzy.com

Uhm... my rock was base rock, so it's pretty dead around my DT lol.. so.. can i just keep the lights on 24/7 until i start getting algae growth? Is it bad for the bulb.. or since it's a MH, is heat an issue? 150w. Just wondering.. :cool:

So yeah.. got to see him eat at the LFS.. didn't notice he looked kind of skinny until i observed him in my tank. He seems pretty larthargic.. only chillin on the sand in the corners of my tank. Barely moves... ever and i just fed enriched mysis shrimp and he just sat there as pieces floated by...

Alright well i've got a couple questions now. First about my fuge. From everyone's experience, what is better? To keep the fuge light on 24/7, or to keep the fuge light on when the DT tank is off. I hear that keeping it on when the DT light is off will help keep the pH balanced always. Not sure...

This is good rock. Currently using some of it in my new tank right now I bought it from liveaquaria.com. It was live when i got it(duh), but now it's dried up base rock since it has been out of my tank for a couple months. I thoroughly cleaned all the rocks with a brand new toothbrush, so there...

Question is above, but this light bulb has to be at least 12 years old and it's a NO fluorescent. I think 15w maybe 18w, somewhere around there because it's a single bulb made to go over a covered 10G AGA tank.

So.. i hear good things about this top-off system.. and it's actually pretty fairly priced on aquacave.com So my question is.. does it come with everything needed to just hook it up and it works right there? Or do i need to buy other things to get it to work, like a float switch, or an...

Alright so.. i used sugar-sized aragonite as my sandbed, and well, in order to shape it the way i wanted it to look.. i couldn't wash it. I needed it completely dry. So i didn't wash it. All in all, there really wasn't THAT much cloudiness from it, and i stirred up the surface of the sand a...

So i've been noticing lately that places like liveaquaria.. bluezoo.. and saltwaterfish.com don't seem to have those really nice coral like the duncans.. blastos.. acans.. etc.. and i'm just wondering if anybody knows of any online vendors that sell the really nice corals such as the ones i...
