Hello everyone, Firstly I'd like to thank "fireman26m" for the very kind gesture. Additionally I would like to thank those who have been so gracious to offer some frags, zoos etc.... Thanks to all of you. At this point I am not sure if I will replace the tank. I've been in this hobby for 6...

Circuit breakers protect the circuit from shorts and current overload, not from overheating of a unit on the circuit. . The control unit basically acted like a electric stove if you catch my drift. Eventually the circuit breaker tripped but only because 175g of water came pouring down on all...

Hey folks, thanks for all your support. Yes the heater was definitely the culprit. The Osyssea 500w aquarium heater. It is a digital thermostat unit which is comprised of 4 components. The piece that failed was the temperature control connector. FYI--this unit did not short out--It simply...

Heater was bought at a LFS. Actually had two. The other I hadn't put in yet. Yes insurance will cover the loss. I sincerely hope to replace the tank. Thats the plan anyway, Too soon to tell

Please reconsider if you have an Odyssea 500w heater for your tank. My tempature control connecter started a fire under my 175g Oceanic tank that I got up and running about 6 weeks ago. The tank was doing great and happy fishes & corals. The fire burned the supporting cabinet and flames...

My sailfin and yellow get along great. They are best buddies for 3 years now. Additionally I have a naso, hippo & powder blue. All in a 175g. They spend all day in a school swimming back & forth. They all get along great. The naso was just added last week

No rock or fish--Tank is empty now--yes will part out

Last I checked the Elk Grove Home depot I believe. Suburb

4x65w worked great for my 75g for 3 years. If I had my dithers I would have used a 4x96 but that's on a 75g. I think 4x65 would be a perfect fit for a 55.

Note the light pictured on the above pic is not the actual unit for sale--color is black however and unit is about the same size. Just squared off corners

Here is pic (Light is not unit for sell) Pic

Evansville Indiana--for sell or trade. 75g tank (non-overflow) w/ black stand. Custom Sealife 4x65w PC (needs 1 $30 ballast & 2 bulbs), red sea prism hob skimmer, 2 heaters. Tank & stand good condition but showing some age (being picky). Heaters skimmer good condition, light in very good...

Asked the same question recently, 250 should be fine. 400 may be too much. Also be prepared to think about the water temp issue that may arise

Yes It sits in my office. One of my employees has a 30 gallon which he bought from me many years ago. Looks as good today as it did back then

Just transferred my 75g to my 175g Oceanic Bow. Lots of work but no mishaps. 275# LR, 300# PS. Very happy campers! Including ME :D :D :D

Hey 2 Cents Could just dose the water with a little bit of Sea-Breeze facial cleanser. Smells good, clears up acne, and your hippo can get drunk all at the same time!! Last I looked you could pick the stuff up in any grocery, pharmacy, or drug store. :D

The black and blue welp on my belly has now grown to the size of a silver dollar. Looks like I got gut shot with a stun gun or something. :D

Just got my super-duper dyno-whoppin' aquarium magnet today. "Maganavore" somthing??? Anyway--after carefully reading the warning label I was monkeying with it in my lap. There is something to be said for the warning labels. As it clapped together today it decided to snatch onto my sweather...

I am wondering myself how big these little dudes have to be before they have the potential to start craking shells and such. Anyone have any idea?

SG was rising as I was adding additional salt over a few days. I didn't want to overshoot the SG. There is an additional 150# of LR pristine and fully cured going into the tank from my old tank. For a total of about 275# I'll get the water change done this week and look forward to a fun...

6/26 175g tank filled w/tap water, 48 hrs ran with phosguard, activated carbon 6/28 Salt added-- 6/29 SG 1.021 Temp 79 120# LR added (foul smelling--had dieoff due to delay in moving to circulating heated tank) 6/30 SG 1.022 Temp 79 Ammonia 0.4 Nitrite .5 Nitrate 20 Alk 300 PH...

Well guys and gals--as I get ready to transfer my 75g over to my new 175g bow. My 75g has got a couple new visitors I believe. Sounds like a glass thermometer or hydrometer hitting the side of the tank. Sometimes one, two or three consecutive snaps. Problem is I have no glass in the tank. I...

All ye purple mushroom seekers--Waiting for the nutirient levels in the new tank to reach acceptable levels for the transfer. Once they do I will work with contact you to make arrangements. Probably about another week.

Both Tanks currently sitting in my lobby at work. The 175g has been up and circulating for about 5 days now. It has about 120# of LR in it that got a little foul having sit in idle water for 3 days. So basically I'll have 2 or 3 weeks before I can x-fer the 75g over. That's when I'll start...

Here's a pic of the new Oceanic Bow 175g going up[/img]
