Will Do. Thanks again for all your help!

Man, that sucks. Well, I would love to make a canopy similar to the quality I have seen in your work. I can't afford that, and I hate to waste your time, so accept my compliments on excellent jobs in DIY stand and canopy building. Peace.

Well, I like the size/total cost of the 55 gallon, but again, the overall health and happiness of the fish is important. Hmmm. 55 or 75 . . . .

Thanks Dogstar. Good to know. I'll ask another question along the same lines. Most people max out inverts (crabs, snails, etc) while at the same time having a LMB. When one wants to own a LMB, is it a good idea to back off on your invert cleaners a bit so that it will have plenty of algae to...

JLEM. Glad you're still at it. So, you said you were in CA? If that's the case, could you build a canopy for a 55 Gallon AGA (unstained) and ship it out to NC? I can acquire a solid oak stand and the tank locally, but if its reasonable, I thought your work was fantastic? Let me know what...

If you would be so kind as to offer up the best tank size for the following stocking list. I have decided on these guys, and do not care to add any to this, as this is my ideal fish list for a Reef tank in the works. Thanks 1. Tank-raised Goldstripe Maroon Clownfish 2. Six line wrasse 3. Yellow...

Will having a CPR hang on refugium on a 55 gallon be harmful to a LMB's overall health? The reason I ask is that LMB often need a great supply of natural algae (if they will not supplement with spirulina or algae sheets) and a refugium's good macros outcompete bad algaes in the display? Would...

JLEM Through a search I saw that you once built what appeared to be excellent Stands and Canopies for 75/90 gallon AGA tanks? Do you still have time for this?

In having an aquarium on a third floor in an apartment complex that was recently built (less than 2 years old) and is on an outer load-bearing wall, is there any weight issues for a tank the size of 29 gallons ever? I figure the weight spread over 30 inches L is very manageable, if thinking...

"Problems with the SWF.COm database, sorry for the inconvenience". OK. I guess, I'll try back later with the pics. Darn. (yes, I have posted before, and yes the images are under the size limitations).

Well, after starting a 10 gallon nano for softies under a 96W quad, I decided to remove the small sandbed after 2 months and go bare bottom! After a simple conversion process and no deaths, the new setup looked cleaner and was easy to siphon up detritus and algae. After things stabilized I...

Wow, that's high tech. I just started a 10 gallon nano about 2 months ago, all I have right now is a small colony of yellow polyps, a tiny chip of a rock with some deep red zoos, and some ulva lettuce macroalgae. Currently, I am battling some rough slimey brown algae that is growing fast...

Hey, happy to hear there are some hobbyists in this state. I am near High Point, this whole area (30 mile radius) is hurting for a decent and responsible LFS or a good reefer club to trade frags and such, as far as I know.

Thanks for the information!

Has anyone noticed if cliffrouse11bas has frequented the message boards lately? Just curious, wanted to converse with an NC hobbyist, had a few questions.

Wow, that's not good. I will be starting to look it up, but if you don't mind, and have the time, please feel free to fully elaborate on what you know or your experience with this "nasty stuff". I take it you recommend that I remove it from my tank entirely? You have been very helpful Reefnut...

Reefnut - Yes, the do look like little green feathers. Hmmm . . . ? ? ?

Wow, I do appreciate the encouragement, but unfortunately, it didn't make it. I did go back by the LFS to recommend placement of corals anywhere but that tank, but it's their store. As far as the pics posted, those specimens look beautiful. Again thanks, too late in my efforts, but I enjoyed...

A friend of mine just got a large shipment of uncured LR, and in the bottom were small pieces of rubble with some green algae on it. This was not the bad hair algae, but looked like some form of macroalgae. Not having used a refug myself, but rather water changes and protein skimminig, I still...
