3rd year anniversary of setup. Originally bought the tank, stand and accessories on eBay for $187... Here's a link to a short YouTube video viewing the tank http://youtu.be/66u6j9gOB7g Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Nolan99 It's good that you are asking questions before you set up your tank. But I saw no mention whether you want corals, anemones, etc. included in your tank. If you go the fish only route, you will need plenty of LiveRock though as some of your specie choices include fish that hide a lot...

Hmm.. I have a 55 gallon reef tank and had something eat one of my anemones, same species as yours. I have a Coral Banded Shrimp and he was not the culprit, BUT a Porcelain "gorilla" crab was... Caught him red handed. I safely and humanely removed the critter and brought him to my LFS and told...

I agree - Cyrano thrive in a low water movement environment - and additionally low dissolved oxygen conditions. I once had one of those "designer" tanks that was 25" deep and 18" square for the opening. Nothing but trouble battling Cyrano in that tank - adequate oxygen is a must...

Thanks, that Odyssea B60 Bowfront tank has been awesome. But it seems that in the last few months that's really come into it's own, so to speak. I was a really, really maintenance obsessive person up until I started taking New York Steelo's advice on deep sank beds. Now, all I do is keep track...

Thank you, to which tank were you referring to may I ask...

This is a link to a blog that I set up because of all my adventures in this hobby. Please check it out and comment... Thanks http://www.gr8oldreef.com

I have a seventy five gallon tank with 20 Africans ...

Been two years since my Odyssea B60 Bowfront Reef Tank has been set up. Here's some pics and links to video... http://youtu.be/LIFbFzeSVzA This is what it looked like originally back in September 2011...

I am using a program called LogMeIn. A free app for the iPad, $29.99 for the Android. The download for my Windows 7 machine is free from logmein.com. I use that to access my computers router remotely. Works flawlessly for me using a T-Mobile hotspot through my cell phone. Never tried Ustream...

I have a Nexus 7 that I wasn't really using so I installed some Android software on it to let it become a camera server that I can access via the internet. Here's a You Tube video demonstrating how I can use it... http://youtu.be/d0r3BMgwey0

Thank you, believe it or not the tank is over 50 years old, has the original sealant and doesn't leak a drop. It was a mini reef, see pic below. Parent fish for the little small fry were a B. Johanni and a Petsmart Peacock. I'll post a video of them to You Tube including a close up of the little...

Update, moved the little guys to their own 5 gallon mansion!

Eighteen total fish in a 75 gallon tank w/ two external canister filters... 3 Acei 3 Common Orange Mnbuna 1 Common Yellow Mbuna 2 Yellow Labs ( eight of their fry in the small tank pictures ) 2 Bumble Bees 1 E.B. Johanni 1 OB Peacock 1 Red Top Ice Blue Mbuna 1 Striped Mbuna Petsmart called...

These fish grow so fast, and reproduce fast also. Have had to set up another fry tank next to the big one. Sorry the pictures of the fry tank isn't the best.

So this is interesting, had a female Peacock spit her eggs before I left on vacation. And while cleaning the tank found the sole survivor pictured. Immediately transferred to the small tank with sponge filtration. Cute lil' small fry, huh,,,

Thanks, the water level is low because this particular type of tank as an overhead filtration system and I like the effect of the water free falling into the tank. It helps aerate the water a little better and also I like the gurgling noise it makes while the water falls ... Kinda soothing...

Thank you, they are labors of love. My wife and I enjoy them a lot.

I don't have any plants at all. My fish are: 3 Bumblebee 2 Electric Yellow 2 common Malawi yellow 3 common Malawi orange 4 Acei (blue w/ yellow) 1 Jewel Cichlid 1 E.B. Johanni 1 OB Peacock 1 Red dorsal Malawi LFS called common 1 Striped Malawi Petsmart called common 1 Peacock Petsmart called...

Yeah, I am. New to the freshwater Cichlid tanks. I think I am gonna cut my water changes back to 1/3 instead of 1/2 a week. Hmm... I did feed them while the stuff was unplugged, that may also contributed to the problem as you point out. Thanks...

Very true... Sorry about your heater and your fish.... How does that even happen to a heater I wonder?

Thanks,that was tough for my wife and I to watch. We are both animal lovers and a battery backup will be insurance while we are away from the house. I already have battery backup supplies on my big reef tank.
