I had one of mine turn almost black a few weeks before molting, it was crazy.

Here is the tank that has been mentioned... Don't bother trying to read the whole thing with the intent to get caught up. The thread gains a few pages per day, it seems. Lol. Plenty of pretty pictures! Coral Tank from Canada (1350gal Display Tank) - Reef Central Online Community

Seconded!

Honestly, I knew about the reds, but I didn't even know there were such a thing as black mithrax crabs. Hopefully these guys were abnormalities!

Thanks for the input! Ah yes, I forgot there are some within my price range. However, I am not at all a fan of having to unscrew the skimmer cup to get it off. Which, as I'm looking, seems as if they have gotten rid of that. So, here's what's in my price range: Reef Octopus Extreme XS160 (As...

Hey kids! I need some advice choosing a protein skimmer for my 4x2x2 RR 120g... I have a custom sump that has a max width of 10.25" for the skimmer chamber. I'm working with about 160 total gallons. A few that have caught my eye are: Cone skimmers: SWC Xtreme 160 Cone Protein Skimmer Bubble...

Thanks for the heads up. I emailed Current to see if they can track one down, but I'm not too hopeful since, like you said, they don't make the fixtures anymore. Too bad that they don't make the 8x54W or the Outer Orbits anymore. Oh well.

Hey guys/gals, I'm looking for a new ballast for the aforementioned fixture. There is one at my LFS for a good price, but it needs that part to be fully functional, and I don't want to buy it without finding the ballast because I've looked all the places I can think of online and can't find the...

Are you leaving the lights on at all times, or just when you are working on the tank or taking pictures? Still love the rock work, by the way. It is definitely easier when you made it yourself! :)

Hey, haven't had any activity here... how have you been? Any movement on the tank?

I literally lol'd at this. This thread has once again exploded! Love the tank so far! I'll be making a run to the final SW LFS in the area that I haven't visited yet tomorrow, and I will run by the best FW LFS, since it is very close by. Gotta look at the wood selection for the future 10g...

Has anyone had any experience with these? My LFS has one of the 36" in stock for their upcoming home show's display tank, so it isn't for sale yet, but it looks sweet! I couldn't find any pictures of the bottom of the fixture online, so I may upload the couple I took myself tomorrow.

Fair enough. Lol.

Have you thought about any discus?

Looks like an awesome store! Can't wait to see more pics of the tank!
