How big is big? http://www.vanaqua.org/home/

I just spotted this Job Posting. http://www.vanaqua.org/ask_us/jobs/TSWAquaristDec05.html It sounds pretty amazing but would it make tending your own tanks seem like "work"?

Hi justmy2cents, Have you seen the new Ford Escape Hybrid yet? http://www.fordvehicles.com/escapehybrid/home/index.asp It's not a medium sized van but it's bigger than a typical hybrid. I'm not a Ford fanatic nor am I keen on buying a first model year product, however, I'll be keeping my eyes...

After more research, I think that it is not Haliclona sp. but more like Leucosolenia sp. http://www.biosci.ohiou.edu/introbioslab/BIOS173/images/lab1/leucosolenia.htm http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=Leucosolenia&btnG=Search The photo I originally uploaded was from my feature rock...

Hi tomas21, In the past I have used Saran wrap and tape. If you want a more professional appearance, you could pop into your local plumbing supply shop and pick up some sort of bulkhead plug. Paul.

OK, I've ruled out 'silly string' because realistically how would that have gotten in there anyway? Otherwise, I'm still fishing for ideas.... My setup is going to be a reef tank one day but it is starting life as Fish Only (with LR). It would be nice to have some colour and movement on the...

Hi gang, I picked up 200lbs LS and 200lbs LR about 2 weeks ago and my tank is still cycling. These things were on the rock when I put them in the tank. Originally, they were flaccid but now they seem to be thriving. (I say thriving because they are growing and reaching towards the light -...

YES and NO. Currently running; - 3/4 gal pico reef, - 2 gal gold fish hex tank on my desk at work - 15 gal QT and growout tank (just snails and plants) -35 gal TruVu swim-thru (8 Tiger Barbs, 3 Peppered Corys and a Dojo Loach) I did outgrow my tanks and am working on a Reef tank. In the Works...

eBay ALL THE WAY! My eBay deals since January of this year; * Red Sea Wavemaker $88 US (shipping included) * Two 3/4" Sea-Swirl Rotating Return Devices $100 + $60 (Retail for the two would be $320) * My Pride and Joy... "175 Gallon Oceanic Bow Front tank, mint condition, includes tank, full...

Depends what is meant by "complete". If the Fluval is a 404 ($160 new), if it comes with media ($10 - $20), a slick PC lighting setup with canopy could be an easy $300 by itself, stand ($50 - $100), heaters and goodies add to the equation. Expensive is a relative term. Is it expensive...

Hi jeffw85, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for giving us the "heads up" about the Odyssea 500w heaters. I see them on eBay for $20.00 and they seem so much cheaper than the EBO-JAGER or the WON Brothers Pro Heat II. I guess Cheaper is NOT Better. I have the Oceanic...

35G Swim-Thru - FW Community tank. 15G Quarantine/Grow Out - FW Just snails and plants at the moment. 30G Wall tank - Empty 3/4G - SW Pico Reef 175G Bow Front - SW Reef (under construction) 10G Quarantine Tank - SW 10G Hospital Tank - SW 33G Sump / Refugium - SW 2G Hex - Goldfish at work.

Hi guys, I am in the early stages of putting together my 175G Bowfront Reef tank. I will have a 33G sump inside my wooden stand and I am wondering if the bare plywood on the inside of the stand will experience rot or mold. I am thinking about sealing the inside of the stand but I can't...

Well, this topic died a swift death. Update: I did end up finding the instructions myself. My problem was that I was originally searching for "Rainbow Lifegard Feeder". It turns out that "Pentair Aquatics" is the manufacturer of Rainbow Lifegard equipment. For the sake of anybody else...

Hi guys, I just purchased one like this... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2384329690&category=3212 but it did not come with instructions. I know - put food in and plug it in. There are 3 metal pieces and a cotter pin in a plastic bag. I assume that is how you setup the...

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to swing by there next weekend.

cj10488, matty So something like this configuration?... I haven't bought it, I just walked through the checkout and grabbed a screenshot.

Thanks for the tip. I should have thought about it... Kathy is awesome, she has saved my butt on more than one occasion.

Hi reefobsessed, #1 - 7 drops, shake #2 - 7 drops, shake #3 - 7 drops, shake, wait 20 minutes, check chart. HTH

Hey SquishyFish, I've seen those on eBay but I live in BC, Canada and the shipping, duties, taxes etc... makes it a tough pill to swallow. Not to mention that the customs guys are gonna think I'm upgrading my grow-op. :lol: A local Big Al's has a 175G Bow Front setup with a 72" fixture and...

Hey steve-s, Thanks for the warning... Does your Azoo HOB make weird grinding noises? (sounds like it is running dry) Mine started to about a week or so ago. Also, have you ran across any of the 7W replacement tubes for the light? I've been keeping an eye open but haven't seen any. Paul.

Here's the rundown; I have a 175 gal Oceanic Bowfront (Reef-ready) Dimensions are 72½"L x 24"W x 28½"H I am interested in this "type" of fixture but haven't decided on the 'horsepower'. http://www.jlaquatics.com/cgi-bin/shopping/jalstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=zhm-hdp63 It's a 72"...

Hmmm.... Lots to ponder. Thanks reefrunner69, mrrrkva, loganj and TheMadNucleus, for all the info you provided. I am still a little hesitant about the closed loop idea. I'm a freshwater guy and this is my first SW tank and I'm not familiar with all the plumbing do's and don'ts. It all...
