Will Do. Thanks again for all your help!

Man, that sucks. Well, I would love to make a canopy similar to the quality I have seen in your work. I can't afford that, and I hate to waste your time, so accept my compliments on excellent jobs in DIY stand and canopy building. Peace.

Well, I like the size/total cost of the 55 gallon, but again, the overall health and happiness of the fish is important. Hmmm. 55 or 75 . . . .

Thanks Dogstar. Good to know. I'll ask another question along the same lines. Most people max out inverts (crabs, snails, etc) while at the same time having a LMB. When one wants to own a LMB, is it a good idea to back off on your invert cleaners a bit so that it will have plenty of algae to...

JLEM. Glad you're still at it. So, you said you were in CA? If that's the case, could you build a canopy for a 55 Gallon AGA (unstained) and ship it out to NC? I can acquire a solid oak stand and the tank locally, but if its reasonable, I thought your work was fantastic? Let me know what...

If you would be so kind as to offer up the best tank size for the following stocking list. I have decided on these guys, and do not care to add any to this, as this is my ideal fish list for a Reef tank in the works. Thanks 1. Tank-raised Goldstripe Maroon Clownfish 2. Six line wrasse 3. Yellow...

Will having a CPR hang on refugium on a 55 gallon be harmful to a LMB's overall health? The reason I ask is that LMB often need a great supply of natural algae (if they will not supplement with spirulina or algae sheets) and a refugium's good macros outcompete bad algaes in the display? Would...

JLEM Through a search I saw that you once built what appeared to be excellent Stands and Canopies for 75/90 gallon AGA tanks? Do you still have time for this?

In having an aquarium on a third floor in an apartment complex that was recently built (less than 2 years old) and is on an outer load-bearing wall, is there any weight issues for a tank the size of 29 gallons ever? I figure the weight spread over 30 inches L is very manageable, if thinking...

"Problems with the SWF.COm database, sorry for the inconvenience". OK. I guess, I'll try back later with the pics. Darn. (yes, I have posted before, and yes the images are under the size limitations).

Well, after starting a 10 gallon nano for softies under a 96W quad, I decided to remove the small sandbed after 2 months and go bare bottom! After a simple conversion process and no deaths, the new setup looked cleaner and was easy to siphon up detritus and algae. After things stabilized I...

Wow, that's high tech. I just started a 10 gallon nano about 2 months ago, all I have right now is a small colony of yellow polyps, a tiny chip of a rock with some deep red zoos, and some ulva lettuce macroalgae. Currently, I am battling some rough slimey brown algae that is growing fast...

Hey, happy to hear there are some hobbyists in this state. I am near High Point, this whole area (30 mile radius) is hurting for a decent and responsible LFS or a good reefer club to trade frags and such, as far as I know.

Thanks for the information!

Has anyone noticed if cliffrouse11bas has frequented the message boards lately? Just curious, wanted to converse with an NC hobbyist, had a few questions.
