thanks guys, I just moved some of them around, one of the ones I really wanna share had been spreading to the sand bottom, and a good "silver dollar" sized colony prettymuch fell off. I'm looking forward to getting some color into my buddy's tank

would it be possible to put a 40G Breeder in as the sump? I love the idea of having more displacement (more room for equipment, and more water)

I've found several sites selling plans and found this one where I put in my tank demensions http://www.fishandtips.com/index.php is there anything I should consider when building my stand? I intend to use a 29gal sump tank (unless I can find something larger that I can get into the stand) I'm...

I've got several colonies of Zoa's that have been doing well in my tank for well over a year. I'd like to share some of them with a friend who just got into reefing. what's the best way to frag these colonies?

just looking thru my old threads, I've still got the fuge, that feather Caulerpa got drowned out by the Chaeto when I neglected to trim it for a couple months. since last posting on here, I've donated Chaeto to many many tanks moved the tank from one room to another (Currently considering moving...
