    How I eradicated my tank of 100's of majanos....

    After struggeling for years with a majano problem I made the decision to either really jump in and get aggressive getting rid of them, or dismantle my 225 gallon reef tank. So decided to get tough and dive in.... First I bought a "Majano Wand" that I read about, second got a big jar of...

    I haven't been on this message board in quite awhile because everything has been going so smoothly, but now the majano's are getting out of control. Has anyone been able to find someplace to get one of this nudi's??

    Here's the monster....

    It is a bubble tip, sometime it has bubbles on the tips, sometimes not, depends on its mood. Here is a shot of the tank, it's a 125 gallon, so 6'. The "monster" is at far end.

    Preparing for the new 200 gallon...suggestions

    Treybomb, we own "DOMINOE KENNELS" in Island Lake, we are a dog boarding business. We have outgrown the small office that we now use, gets kind of crowded sometimes when several people are checking in/or picking up their dogs. So we're building a large reception area and going to do a little...

    Preparing for the new 200 gallon...suggestions

    Which side of the spectrum are the XM"s? I think I'd be looking for something more on the white side, as this is a display tank for people to look at while they're waiting to drop off/pick up their dogs, and/or to keep their kids busy while I give a tour of the kennel.

    Preparing for the new 200 gallon...suggestions

    I posted in the Equipment forum, but I'll ask here also. For the MH I got for this tank, it takes 3 250W HQI bulbs. Any suggestions on type/kelvin I should go for. Manufacturer, and best/cheapest place to buy bulbs from.

    Preparing for the new 200 gallon...suggestions

    Definitely will do the step-by-step pic thing with this. Will take your advise on the "hard" cycle. It would definitely be a bummer to think it had cycled, add my livestock and have it all crash. I'll probably end up sacrificing a new damsel or two to get it started, or maybe a goby or two, I...

    Preparing for the new 200 gallon...suggestions

    Well, they're going to be breaking ground next week (FINALLY), for my new office/reception area for our boarding kennel. And, of course, since I'm getting a larger reception area I need a larger tank. So this is what I have so far: 200 gallon Oceanic RR. Oak canopy, which will be converted to...
