Shawn I was thinking about a DIY project. Any idea on what my options are.. and also what I could be looking at per light setup. The reason I am considering the LED (other than brighter lights) is because I am thinking of turning my 14x14 front room into a seed starting room and there will be...

I have a question for all those that have LED’s. Actually I have a couple questions. I am currently running two 4foot shop lights with two bulbs each. I am wondering if running LED’s would put out more light and if so… about how much more? I am also wondering if running the LED’s would save...

Just an update on the tank. The fish and shrimp are still doing great and I only turn on the lights for viewing the fish. Therefore a lot of my algae problems have gone away. I've been trying to sell the tank but I've had no takers. Since I have the tank(s) and enough salt to last a while...

The photo below is one such photo that I took for myself. I'll admit... I'm scared of spiders and this little lady spent some time in my house. I say "little" sarcastically... she was every bit as large as my hand... and had me a weee bit nervous the whole time I had her as a pet. Albeit...

I have definitely been in some strange setups to get the shot. I've been known to hang off a cliff to get a sideways shot of the cliff and terrain. I've put the top half of my body out into a pond so I could photograph an American Toad calling for a mate in some reeds. I've laid down in a...

Holy guacamole batman!!! Here's the problem guys and gals. My life is moving in a direction that I'm not even sure I can keep the salt tank. I've tried to sell the inhabitants without any luck. I contacted a LFS and they offered to give me store credit.. however what they are offering is...

Thanks for the info.

First photo is of my sand bed and the second photo is my rockwork. Talk about ugly. How do I get rid of it. I have the same inhabitants. 3 fish, 1 Shrimp, 1 Feather Duster, and a bit of Macro Algae. My numbers as of 5 minutes ago Amonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 0 PH - around 8.2

After I go to bed and get up again I'll run the numbers for ya. Right now Im so tired I might think the bottles are eye drops to help me focus and that would be bad. Three more hours and Im off to meet my pillow... and that's providing my head dont smack the desk first.

Numbers should be good.. .I just did a water change yesterday... or maybe it was the day before. After working 16hrs straight... the last couple days just seem one big blur. Currently only have the basic tests so couldn't tell ya what the phophates are.
