So, while in the planning phase of my next tank (75 gallon), somebody walked past it with the glass recycling and hit the corner with a bottle... chipping it. After some quick domestic violence (not really), I calmed down and realized that it was probably not as bad as it looks. Just sucks...

Check out my post at AquariaPhile: http://www.aquariaphile.com/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=52&forum=14 I want to make sure I didn't overlook something stupid. :) Thanks! micah

I had this little idea.. and because of space in my stand, I'd like to optimize it as much as possible - getting as much space as I can. Please check out this simple diagram... Tell me what you think. The thing on the left is a built-in version of an AquaC EV-180/240/etc. I like the design...

Well, I just got a striped dottyback and 50 blue-legged hermits (from the same LFS I might add)... Didn't really know anything about them actually, which I must admit was a pretty stupid impulse buy on my part. However, I got him home and the INSTANT a hermit came out of its shell, it was...

I'm getting an EV-240 from AquaC and I'm shopping for a pump right now. It has some recommended pumps, like the SEN900, the MAG12, etc... I'm looking to get the best pressure, highest reliability, quietest pump for the money. I was thinking of getting a MAG12.. since they are around 80 bucks...

Hi there people. I finally got my tank established and after an immature and probably stupid stocking decision, I put a couple fish into my tank. :) I got a Scooter blenny (which I love) and a domino damsel which will be moving out shortly into its own nano. ANYWAYS....Back to biz I'm...

You HAVE to read this story.. What a weekend.. :) http://www.aquariaphile.com/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=24&forum=16

I got to go buy the wood/supplies to build my aquarium stand today.. YAY! I am pretty stoked to start working on it tomorrow. Saturday I'm driving to idaho to get southdown sand for the tank. I will also be purchasing some liverock hopefully.. Actually, some of it may be free if I'm lucky...

Okay, so I was playing around with a powerhead today and had an idea. What if you had an air-valve on the tube and then the other end in the kalk? Wouldn't that evenly disperse the kalk into the stream of the pump? It would be hard to meter, but as long as you did as little as you thought was...

So, on the classifieds for my local area, there was a free posting for aquarium stuff. I got most of it, but somebody else claimed the perfecto hood (oh darn) and some rock scuptures (double darn). BUT, They did NOT claim the 2 Hagen Aquaclear 802 Powerheads and the 1 Penguin 660 Powerhead. I...

I'm ready to purchase the first load of stuff for my 55gal aquarium. I have around 300 bucks I can allocate for equipment. I figure this can get me everything I need except lighting. Lighting will have to wait as I am saving up for Halides (rather than upgrading later). Can people help me...

Just curious, is there a such thing as TOO much lighting for a tank? I've got a 55gal and saw a good deal for a 48" light aquarium light setup. It was 2 400w halide fixtures (with aquarium rated bulbs), and 4 65w power compacts.. Is 1060w too much for a 55gal? :) I figure I would be a little...

Anybody in Oregon/Washingon want some southdown or old castle aragonite play sand?? I'll be taking my pickup to Idaho on saturday to get some and was curious if anybody wanted to get a couple bags. They are 50lb bags and are around 4.50 a bag give or take.. I'll charge an even 10 per bag to ship...

I was wondering why there isn't a classified section on this board for people to post wanted/for sale posts in. Anyways, Here are some things that I still need: Pumps over 600GPH PowerHeads Lighting (I already have N/O lights, but need something better for corals/anemonies)...

Because of my aquarium stands height limitations, I have to design my own skimmer to fit my cabinet. I may need to make 2 for enough skimming in my 55gal reef. I designed plans for a skimmer 22" tall with a 17-18 inch skimming tower. It will use an air stone and will be completely made out of...

I just got back from Lowes today. My lowes has a WAY better selection of sands than HD. They also had some paper-bagged quickcrete sand.. One of the bags was busted open and the sand didn't look industrial enough to be eliminated from the equation quite yet. I picked up 2 100lb bags of it for...

Anybody in Oregon/Washingon want some southdown? I'll be taking my pickup to Idaho soon to get some southdown play sand (pending availability check tomorrow via phone). I was curious if anybody wanted to get a couple bags. I believe they are 50lb bags and should be around 4.50 a bag give or...

Anybody know if this stuff is available on the pacific coast? I would really like to get a couple bags. Also, how many 50lb backs will I need for a 55gal aquarium? I would like to have a little left over for my 10gal, but would like a good 3-4inch substrate bed on my 55 reef tank. Thanks...
