I cant believe no one has posted here since last night's new episode. What did you all think? The pinball tank turned out much better than I thought. The robot tanks, hmmmm not sure how I feel about them. It just amazes me how people with money ask a company such as ATM to make them a tank and...

Hey guys So ever since I was a kid, I would go Flounder fishing quite a bit. I have caught hundreds. I always liked flounder bec they are such a unique fish. So when I started this hobby, I knew I wanted a flounder along the way. About three years ago, I bought a Peacock flounder and I loved it...

Thanks for the reply Yeah I am not doing it to make money. Just doing it for hobby and to contribute to some of the expenses. I just wanted a tank that I could stand over and look from the bottom down. I like shallow tanks. I cant do this with me 200g tank lol

Hey guys and gals I was in a LFS today and they had several new frag tanks set up. I have been using a small 20g for frags and let's be real, it's just not big enough. I am wanting to build my own tank with some help from a local guy who owns a glass company. He said he would cut the glass as...

Update: Dead His condition worsenend and started to develop a weird reddish lesion near the vent. His pop eye exploded all of a sudden and quickly led to his demise. I tried but thats all I could do. I offered hope.

Yeah they dont use copper in their tanks. I never buy fish from a LFS unless its a critter I cant find anywhere else and they carrry it for some reason. I checked on him this morning and he's doing ok. I am going to go perform a 50% water change at lunch time. I am running carbon and a...

When the power goes out, I resort to two things. One being the generator but I do not resort to it unless the power is out for 2+ hours. The best little investment is to use Hush Bubbles, a battery power aerator for live wells. It uses two D batteries.

No doubt. As long as he is living, I will post updates using pics every couple of days. I am feeling more and more optomistic the more I read and attain good responses.

I actually enjoyed last night's deput. The 2000g shark tank was nice but is it just me or do you all hate the ornaments they put into the tank??? If I was a customer and they (brett and Jeff) put fake ornaments into a fish tank, i'd be pissed. I have not yet dived or snorkeled a reef and seen...

Thanks guys for all your help and suggestions They are very helpful.

I just fed him some mysis and he is eating. That gives me some optomisim. I really hope I can have this guy. He will be a beauty if this works.
