One last thing (i think) i forgot to mention. if anyone has any idea's of how we could go about this in a better way, please let me know, i'm open to suggestions. maybe on the day we clear up this womans basement, we could also do something like an exchange. we could bring some of our old...

i'm going to make a list, as specific as i can get, with what this lady has. it is, however, literally an entire saltwater store in this ladies basement. i'll post said list as soon as i get it. also, i really want this to be fair to as many people as possible, and i want for people to get as...

i hope this isnt against the rules. i apologize ahead of time if it is. a good friend of my family, uncle dan, has a friend who used to own a LFS. he got old, and closed the doors for good about 6 weeks ago. well, sad to say, the dude passed on new years eve. i guess him and his wife never...

i just talked to my uncle and i have some good news. (actually, he's not really my uncle, just a super-good friend of the family and i've called him uncle dan since i was a kid) ANYWAY: uncle dan knows that i've been trying for a nice SW tank for ages. he has a good friend who once owned an...

hey bos! i was just skimming through the last day or two's worth of posts and i see that you're in the market for an octo bh100ss? i was given one for x-mas from my uncle. it was given to him by his wife early in december and he never used it. it's brand new, still in box. too small for any...

here are some pics of getting ready to move to the 125. tank with LR and sand: 100_0923.JPG tank with livestock: 100_0926.JPG 100_0927.JPG

the water in my tank finally cleared up enough to see the back in order to aquascape. as soon as i moved the first 2 rocks: poof! i did as much as i could by feeling around, braile style, so when the water clears in the a.m. i'll leave you some pics and see what you guys think.

i'll tell you what i did to help me figure out what i really wanted and if it was possible: i checked out those threads that natclanwy was speaking of, and i took some time to browse the fish, coral, and inverts available through SWF.com to see what was compatible with what, and to see what the...

whatever's clever dude. i just dont see why you should spend $260 to get the lights you really want instead of the $200 they really cost. i know you didn't get into this hobby as a method of saving money, so you might as well spend it wisely, eh?

might as well start out with the 4X24 fixture and save some cheddar in the long-run.

today has been a game of hurry up and wait. i removed all the water from last nights test to see if the tank was water-tight. i filled it and put all the new LR and sand in it. i piled the sand on the front half of the tank so when the water clears i can stack all the LR and move the sand to...

here's what's been done so far, i'll post pics later today: I had a 55g that was up and running for a year or so, but never had anything in it but a little bit of LR. I finally put in 2 clowns and then started posting on SWF. I realized that 55g wasnt going to be big enough for me, so i...

do i just click and drag, or is there something special i have to do since i use a mac?

congratulations on your new home, jrlandsman! beautiful house, by the way. your tank is looking wonderful, i definately like that you decided to install it on a corner. a lot of people dont have this luxury because of the load-bearing joists, but since you built the room yourself, i see you...
