    Animal Planet's "Tanked". 2nd season in April - To love or to hate???

    So what did we think about last night's episode? I thought the manicure salon tank was cool and practical. The bus tank was a rediculous idea, especially for the owner/engineer of the baseball stadium. A big tank for display in an area for everyone to see would have been much more practical and...

    So I thought I would add a couple pics of the tank without the filter that came with it. I also added an EcoTech MP10 pump for circulation. I really like this better. I will be performing 30-40% weekly water changes so I do not imagine I will incorporate any filtration device. I also added two...

    Nice tank bro. How long has it been up and running? Looks a little bare. Perhaps some more corals can brighten things up.

    Hey guys and gals I am an industrial programmer and I spend a great amount of time in my office creating schematic drawings and programs for industrial controls. Ok I know...boring. So I decided to brighten up the office and incorporate a piece of the reef here. After some research I decided to...

    He flushed a big Yellow Tang!

    What's even worsse is that this incident is relativvely childsplay compared to what thousands do elsewhere. I am no PETA member (far from it) but people do some cruel things like putting cats and puppies into a microwave etc. It's a sick world for sure.

    He flushed a big Yellow Tang!

    I am probably the biggest ocean carnivore on this site. I eat basically nothing but seafood. (My avatar probably confirms this) I have caught thousands of fish for food from the ocean, lake, river etc. Flushing a fish like a tang that is in good health is beyond me. Dude obviously doesnt have...

    Help! Stray Voltage

    Good Lord people please use GFCIs!!!! And please use a grounding probe. Saltwater is almost as good as a conductor as copper. Make this a standard practice! One mishap and death can result from a hobby thats otherwise extrememly safe. Fact: Most electrical fatalities occur from 120VAC power...

    Actually these will get any where between 12-18". Big I know. They are in a designated "Flounder aquarium". It will take about 5 years for them to get that big. They are just a lot of fun. They do not get the recognition like most fish do but they have a ton of personality. They are ambush...
