Yes, you guys all make good points. I personally have never been one to buy an off the shelf item, when I could DIY. It's really a matter of personal opinion. I'm very excited to see what the next couple of years will bring. Too bad that stupid blanket patent (we'll leave the companys name...

Yes, they are completely harmless (unless you WANT algae) untill they start to really multiply, and start covering the front of your tank. Once your population is big enough, you might even get away with a Harlequin Shrimp, and not have to feed it. Don't quote me on that though

Just a little busy work while I wait for packages to come in the mail.

One of the local LFS is a dealer of the Sunbrite LED system. They claim that their "bulb" is a direct replacement into a t12 system. I've looked at them, and the light strip is encased in a t8 bulb type cylinder, with t12 endcaps. I myself wouldn't put them as a direct replacement. I believe...

He's in the fuge. All to himself.

Good luck. I chewed since I was about 15 years old myself. I'm 23 now, quite about a year ago cold turkey. I know what it's like. Remember, sunflower seeds are your friend!

Oh yeah you can use the 10g. I have a 10 setup for my sump, which is the connected to my 20g fuge. The 10 is on the left, the 20 is on the right.

Nissan, you da man. Now go take a look see in the nano group! New thread!

HAHA, yeah thanks guys. Good thing I threw it in the fuge. PERFECTO!

So I think my Hammer is playing chemical warfare on my frogspawn. One of the heads on my Frogspawn is almost completely receeded, and is definantly dying away. Another head is starting to show signs of the same thing, yet the final two furthest away are doing just fine. Hopefully everything...

Found it at the LFS closest to me. HAD to have him for my fuge. First impulse buy, which I know is a bad thing in this hobby. But, he's got the whole fuge to himself, so I don't think it was that bad of a purchase. His claws are on the left side of the "bull horns"

Good! I was seriously worried that this amazing tank weren't going to have those amazing fish in there!

Oral herpes. HAHAHA! give em condoms and he should be good to go! Seriously, I don't have a clue, but a picture would probably help those who would actually know.

Great looking tank. WOW! It'll be definantly interesting to watch with Mr. Mantis in there. I definantly have a soft spot for nanos. You know which species of mantis you're getting? If I was a mantis, I'd definantly like that pvc

Guess who got his heat sinks in today.

Or even set it up as a refuge with sps?

So time for a little update. Tax returns came in. That means it's time to start my LED build. I have a seperate thread for that posted in the DIY, but I'll post resulting pictures here too probably. The hair algae is definantly decreasing, so I rearranged some of the rock on the left. I...
