haha thanks, yeah that last one was just lucky. I guess that happens when you take 1000 pictures lol

And got my 65 gallon back up and running, added some new rock and old fish (thankfully my friend fishsat them). So I snapped some cool pics. Still a work in progress, I want more rocks and less fake stuff.

Hey all, new to SW & Reef but been keeping Cichlids for years. After a hiatus (lots of moving etc) I've got my 65 Gal Malawi tank back up and running and just purchased a 10g Bow Front and looking to start up a nano reef. I've lurked and read a lot here, so I've come prepared. And thanks to my...

This has settled it for me, I'm doing a nano reef lol. Thanks, and looks awesome!

Looks awesome!

A friend of mine works at pet store here and is giving me a bunch of sand, got 1 bag so far but it's Calcium sand with pictures of reptiles on it....Is this stuff alright for Cichlids or fish in general? My tank has Kenyi, Otopharynx lithobates, Melanochromis Johannii and a Green Sunfish.

lol I had a couple extra adapters and just rewired it directly to two 120mm fans and taped them up good with electrical tape. Not really recommended.

Good deal, if it's too big just resell it.

Cool, I kinda want that dark sand anyways, I'll hold off.

So just got 65gal for free and it came with a load of crushed coral for substrate. Is this safe to use for fw? I hear its typically used as a pH buffer. And my tap water is already pretty good for Cichlids.

As for salt stains, a razor blade works awesome. I just cleaned an entire 65 salt tank that had been sitting in a garage for months with one :)

If I go that far I'll end up getting rid of the couch for an aquarium too lol

Don't be, I don't even know if I have room for it...Well, I could put it in my kitchen...hmm or get rid of my bed?

I almost feel bad for this deal...Nahh. My uncle was dropping off a computer for me to fix and mentioned his friend had an aquarium for sale, $50...I figured it'd be something smaller than what I already have. 100 Gallons! Stand, 2 filters, decorations, fish and all for $50 and its even being...

They did send pics but they were on a really bad angle, I did pick out the Eheim filter though. They might have failed at fish but they're probably breeding children, that's even scarier to me lol.
