I am breaking down my 55g reef and transfering the majority of it (I won't be able to keep everything :( ) to a 30 breeder or 37 show. My first question for all of you experienced guys is whether there is a noticable difference in value between Oceanic and All Glass Aquariums. Another question...

Sandman, Probably the main reason that people were yelling at you was because you were taking an animal from the ocean (illegally) that is endangered. As people who keep fish and corals it is our responsibilty to be good stewards of what has been given to us. That is why the collection of...

Hey, I have had several friends with octos and they have all started feeding with things like snails and crabs. There is a dwarf octo at my LFS and it just devowers(sp?) any kind of crab they put with him. They work great as start up food because they move and initiate a feeding response, but...

How about putting a top off valve on a tank or bucket that contains RO/DI water already run through the machine. That way it will be a mechanical mechanism that you are depending on rather than an electrical one that can go wrong easily. It will be cheaper too, just go to your local hardware...

I am looking into building stands for a 29gal and a 75gal. I want them both to be identical on the exterior so they will look good together. Does anyone have some good plans written up that have worked for them and are easy to modify for a larger/smaller tank? Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have an external overflow FS or trade? Please leave a post or E-mail me at kbryant@blc.edu. thanks

Hey Snowflake, did you check on the gph rating of your pumps. If one pump pumps more water out than the other pumps it back in, then you will get the water level fluctuation. That seems to be your problem. The fluctuation can be a big problem because if your pump starts blowing bubbles that...

DO NOT ignore experienced people when they tell you a Frogfish will eat anything that can fit in its mouth....ANYTHING!! :mad: (fish don't care how much other fish cost or whether they are poisonous)

that is a true puffer, not one of the mini tobys or anything. He is going to get very big. As to what kind, once again I am stumped, but check out that Boech guy's Marine Atlas book. I am sure he has something in there. It's possibly a juvenile color configuration.

How long has your tank been set up? My sand bad isn't quite as thick as yours, but when I first set it up I also got the red growth near the top. I was told that this was good but wasn't given a good explaination as to what it was. As to moving the sand around in a DSB, yeah, that's probably a...

"Bonus: wavemaster power strip, 3 alternating and 3 fixed outlet variable setting from 20sec to 3 min for powerheads. " Willing to sell the wavemaster separately? :p

I am looking for a surface skimmer, an overflow kind that eventually goes down into a sump. I don't need the whole getup, just the plastic box and elbow. If anyone has an extra one lying around and would like to get rid of it, please drop me a line or post on this board. Keith

A friend of mine got peices of pure carbide, placed them in gopher holes, and poured water in them and attached a fuse to the dirt mound. this produces acetylene gas. When he lit the fuse he got rid of the gophers and also created an interesting pattern of ditches from which to set up his...
