As long as you paint or stain the plywood, you don't need marine grade. IMO it's overkill, and more expensive too. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Progress! Now onto plumbing. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi Sniper, The stand will have cabinet doors. I just haven't got that far yet. I'm thinking about using stained glass or something to that effect. The front of the stand will have two doors, one with an overlap on the inside so you won't see a gap. Here's a pic of a stand I saw on another forum...

Picked up a 90 gallon AGA reef ready tank and stand off Craigslist. My initial plans for this tank include building a custom stand and re-plumbing the internal overflow on the tank with a Herbie style draining into a Trigger Systems Emerald 34 sump. Flow in the tank will be provided by one or...

Also added a Tunze ATO with an Eshopps 10g reservoir. Also ordered some zoas from a certain 2go company and needless to say, I'm not impressed and will stick with LA and local shops when they have some eye catchers. Now the bad news. Had 2 fish die, the Chromis and personal favorite, my...

Monthly update time. First the pics... FTS Added a torch 2 weeks ago Built an algae scrubber Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My 2 clowns have already taken a liking to the RBTA. They poke their head in and feed it, so cool to watch. My only real concern is that the clowns are approx 2-3" now and the RBTA is about the same size, so I've noticed that when the clowns host with it, sometimes it closes up some and...

Received a RBTA 2 weeks ago from Live Aquaria. Rearranged some corals incase it wanted to move around to find a home, but luckily it hasn't moved since I placed it in the tank. I also added a hydor koralia wave maker for the 2 power heads. Next thing on the list is an ATO. Sent from my...

Updated pics. Still battling algae but all in all I think everything is going well. My wife thinks I have OCD for moving aquascape/corals around about once a month. Just trying to that get that "Wow" factor I guess. Think I nailed it this time. Will be adding more zoas to my "zoa rock" soon and...

$20 frag, that's what enticed me most..lol. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

As always, thanks Sniper! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I believe it's either a candy cane or Duncan. LFS told me it was a Duncan. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I feed every other day, mostly frozen, and always strained. I turn all pumps off until food is gone, so I know I'm not over feeding. I target feed corals about once a week with Coral Frenzy. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

When sucked up off the sand bed, it comes in clumps with sand. I remember the diatom bloom that happened during the cycle when I first had my 29g set up. This isn't the same stuff. I should note that I tried growing cheato twice in the sump and both times it would start to grow, then die off...

I'm not 100% sure, but here are some pics and current parameters: Temp 80 Salinity 1.025 (measured with refractometer) API test kit : Phosphate .25 pH 8.0 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Red Sea test kit: Mg 1500 dKH 9.8 3.5 Ca 350 Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Took your advice Sniper and moved the candy cane off the sand bed. In other news, been battling what I'm 99% sure is dinoflagellates . I meant to take a pic before latest cleaning/WC but forgot. It grows pretty bad on the sand and has spread to almost every rock. Tried the lights out for 3...

Update time! Sorry for potato quality pics from my phone. Turned the blue lights off for better resolution. Picked up a Birds Nest a couple weeks ago. It's already starting to grow new branches: Frogspawn growing back after I damaged it when I reaquascaped: Three head Duncan looking good...

Newest additions and FINAL re-aquascape. Added 20lbs of cured live rock to DT, a Peppermint Shrimp, and a Six Line Wrasse. Also picked up a Toadstool Mushroom Leather coral and a Flower Pot coral. I admit the Flower Pot was an impulse buy and only after getting it home did I find out it's fairly...

Btw, your tank looks great! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm in the same boat. My bulb is 5k in a 6" grow lamp. I started at about 5" above the water and worked my way back when the cheato got too stringy. Just threw out what I had last night because when rotated it broke apart and became a mess. From what I've read, I think our tanks lack the...
