Went to the LFS to pick up 3 ricordea I got via Facebook auction and couldn't resist their end of year 25% off plus then buy 3 get 3 free in the $20 frag tank ;) So, 6 good sized frags for $45, but struggling on IDs. After slowly acclimating them and giving them a couple of hours with the lights...

After a number of months waiting for a non-ridiculously priced Craigslist deal, I picked up Marineland Corner-Flo 220g (72"x24"x30" lwh). The seller had been installing custom granite surround around the new tank when a piece of granite bumped the tank. The owner requested a replacement tank to...

It's been right around 6 months since I finished cycling my 20g FOWLR and added in a pair of ocellaris clownfish. I also have a CUC from Reef Cleaners which I love. As I chose not to opt for a protein skimmer in this tank I had to make sure I kept up with weekly water changes and daily top-ups...

I was wandering through Petsmart to pick up some stuff for the missus' cat and was going to pick up a pack of filter media for my 55g. I'd gotten a steal on a 55g set up last March from Petsmart for like $80 when the Marineland heaters were getting recalled, so they had pulled them from the...

After building a stand for my 20g long, I've since been fighting a middle + outer ear infection in both ears whilst waiting patiently for all the goodies to arrive to put the tank together. My shopping list included: 2 x Marineland Maxi-Jet PRO 400 Pro's - one as a powerhead at 110GPH and the...

The last few days, I've noticed that a good number of my Neon and Glowlight Tetras (probably 15 in total) start scrounging around the bottom of the tank once the flakes are all gone during feeding. I feed them Tetra Color Tropical Flakes once a day, enough so that it's all gone within 3-4...

I picked up a 20g long a few weeks ago in the Petco $1/gallon sale, and I'm planning on setting it up as a FOWLR tank. First, I need to build a stand for it to fit a specific location in the office. For speed of construction and strength, trusty 2x4's were used. This is one end piece assembled...

I picked up a 20g long in the the $1/gallon Petco sales, and I'm looking at dipping a toe in the saltwater world. I'll be setting it up as FOWLR, and looking at 20lbs of live sand and 35lbs of live rock (comments + suggestions welcome at this point). In terms of hardware, I'm currently looking...

After slowing building the stand, then waiting until moving in to our new house to start cycling, I finally added fish a couple of weeks ago - 4+ months after getting a steal in one of Petsmart's clearances :fish2: My 55g on top of my home-made stand. The little LCD in the middle below it is...

I'm sure most people have struggled to level an aquarium stand at some point, though in the past I've been pretty fortunate to automagically set up a stand and find it almost perfectly level. I moved in to a new house a couple of weeks ago and found I was not quite as fortunate...The house...

I've been lurking round for the last couple of months, and figure that now I'm in position where I have my new tank set up and starting to cycle, I should probably say hi :brows: I've ran 10g and 29g coldwater tanks and a 45g tropical tank over the years, and I'm now starting up a 55g tank I'm...
