Great Pics!!

He's being modest again. . . Mr. Wizard has some OUTSTANDING photos!! The only problem I have is a dial-up connection at home.

Just remember, "Fish are friends, not food!"

I almost bought one at a LFS that had electric blue legs. He was in a shell about2-2.5 inches. THe LFS guy said he was a fish eater. Does yours ever hunt? :scared:

Nah, we are just a bunch of softies here. We have shrooms and fuzzy shrooms and hairy shrooms and pimple shrooms and rics and xenia and toadstools and green star polyps and yellow polyps and a smatterin of hitch hiker button polyps. So far I have sent mostly purple/blue shrooms. THey are...

I have to agree with Murph on this one. We have white ones on the SW and blue ones on the FW. THe blues look neat, but the white ones look more natural. I built the blue ones from part on the famous auction site. The white ones came in the PC fixture we have.

Can you post a pic? Without seeing it, it sounds like the u-tube goes on the opposite side of the bulkhead. This is to ensure you maintain a syphon. WHat does the internal box look like? To start the syphon, there are a couple of ways to do it. I use a piece of airline (clear tubing) and...

Yup, Chuck. We have around 3-4inches of sand in our 75 gallon. ONe day a power head fell off the inside of the tank and was pointing right at the sand!! :scared: This is another good reason for a closed loop, BTW. THis moved a BUNCH of sand, nearly to the bottom of the tank. OUr tank had...

That drain will come in handy for water changes, Hot. THat is a swell idea. I'm gonna have to shore up our floor joists if I go ANY bigge than the 75 we have now. Such is the price we pay for a little slice of the ocean in our homes. :joy:

Wow-that is quite a list! I would like to trade, but I will have to wait. THere are a few people I didn't get to trade with before the Crhistmas Holiday and I want to catch up. I will get with you in a coule a weeks or so and see if you still wanna trade. SOund OK?

Deep tanks are a matter of choice. They look neater as a reef, but yeah, they need more intense light to penetrate. I like longer tanks, where we can have coral but still have plenty of room for fishes to swim. I day dream of an 8 footer! It is like 220 gallons!

I have seen some pretty elaborate setups on here with multiple holes for return and suction. I don't have any experience with a CL yet. THere is a bunch of posts about plumbing that deal with it and flow rates, how to build fuges, baffle placements, pump flow loss in different fittings. . . ...

That puts everything in perspective. 55 used to be a big tank!! NOw it is a sump/fuge. I have actually been entertaining the idea of a 240 show tank. It is 96" x 24" x 24". :scared: I have lost all concept of reality. . . . .I don't think I would pass the deal you got on the 125, though!

THat is good to know about nitrite in a SW tank. I must admit, I am a freshie convert. My seachem test requires the nitrite test as a base for the nitrate. SO if I test for trates, I have already tested for trites.

THat is gonna be SWEET, Barry! You are gonna need more coral. Congrats-BTW what will become of your old tank?

Not fish. We bought a cleaner crew. VERY satisfied with the condition of everything. Highly recommend buying from SWF.com

Half counts in my book. My buddy in high school had his first car given to him. It was a 66 ragtop stang. BUT he had to give it back after he graduated.

Has anyone bought there first car themselves? Mine was a 77 Monte Carlo w/305 small block. Yeah.

That was my understanding as well. Nitrates are bad at HIGH levels. Nitrites are bad at low levels. Amonia is real bad at low levels. Bang, did you have a typo there? Should that have been nitrate instead of nitrite?
