    New Hood Here Too!

    There really is no room under the tank due to supplies and sump. I wanted to grow pods and didn't want to run them through a blender to get them into the tank.

    Valentini Puffer looks skinny

    OK, I gave him a clam tonight, he didn't appear to be interested at all. All of the blue leg hermits are crawling all over it. I tried some thawed krill and he didn't seem to want that either. He nibbles at misys that I put in the tank but he still looks too thin.

    New Hood Here Too!

    I finally incorporated my hob fuge into my tank. This is what you have to do when your tank sits too close to the wall.

    Do you have a canopy on your tank?

    I have a canopy and am in the process of building a new one. (90gal) I only have 260wcf lighting and would like to go to a higher wattage fixture, so I built a new canopy that was 12" tall so I could raise my lights from 2 inches to 7 inches above my tank.

    Cooling fan vent ideas needed!

    FLIP THE "DRYER VENT" OVER. OOPS sory didn't mean to yell. Hot air rises. Adding the plenum may cause the heat to be sucked out and more air can be pushed through.

    Protein skimmer - what type

    Ninjamini, I have the same skimmer (I think). It doesn't seem to do very good. I'd also like to switch to a skimmer that sits outside the sump. (more chaeto room) I've been searching and lurking out here for a while. I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I've got the same concerns.

    How do you change water, buckets, automatic system. etc.

    I do it the old fashioned way, pump out 15 gal of water as my tank is running. When the water level in my sump gets low I shut off the circulation pump and leave the skimmer and heater running. I fill up 3, 5gal plastic cans with aged salt water from my 45 gal trash can, drag them throught the...

    Question about ordering fish online

    I too have ordered fish from this site, never a problem, once in the summer months and once in the winter. They put heat packs in a styrofoam cooler with the fish to keep them warm for their overnight trip to their new home.
