Well, this is going to be my first big dog tank, so I have a couple questions about the overflow area and sump baffles. First, the overflow for a drilled tank that has the teeth on it, weir ?, is to be how high? from the tank top to the teeth? Second, Is there a set height for the baffles in a...

With all the talk of how well Ohio State has been playing, and with the weekend of weekends upon us, I have to take up the flag for my home state and yes I do agree, Michigan has not been a contender or fielded a decent team for some years. But There Is Nothing Like the UofM vs OSU game for...

I have a couple questions for the DIY experts out there, 1, for an overflow in the DT, what is the standard height from the rim of the tank, and what about the supply to the sump? is there a standard drop for that? 2, My plans have been changed slightly as the 75 I was going to use is now...

So here is where I am at now, I have re sealed the tank and now waiting for my bulkheads to come in. I will then water test the tank and get ready for a stand build. Then I have a garage to clean out before the stand build. I had to give up my 135 to get this tank, but not until I get this thing...

well, here is the beginning of the project. As stated, the tank needs some work. So this is the start.

I am still somewhat in shock, but I talked my wife into a 180 gallon tank to replace my other tank(s). I have a 135g with sump and then a 75g freshwater. I proposed to use the 75 for a sump, and build a custom stand for the set-up. The 180 was $125 plus shipping, (a 2 hr road trip). So my fun...

I just hope my neighbor appreciates the fact that I have to be to work at 6:00 am and spent the night replacing her locks after a break in. Come to find out the criminals got her key (reason for the replacement) and tried again 3 weeks later.

My live rock was covered with a brown layer until I picked up some Mexican Turbos. Now I have very little on the rock. The snails are doing a great job.

I would be to upset with myself for going to work today when I should have called in and went fishing....

Are the mangroves going to be from the batch I sent you? Some of mine have started with what I will call roots coming out the pointy end. I have them in my sump with LRR and some blue leg crabs. And now I have a small ball of chaeto in there. And I have no Nitrites and the other stuff are low.

I have had all the above, but from now on, they are cheap food. I have found the oasis of fast food........... FIVE GUYS burgers They are the pinnacle of fast food.

I just got over a Daitom bloom that had all my rocks covered in brown. My hermits (red and blue legs) would just do a little at a time, Then I got 6 Mexican Turbos and have had nothing but clean rocks since. I will more than likely put one in the QT to get that cleaned up, but that will do it...

Where on the nature coast are you? I am just over the Pinelas /Pasco border. I just started my 135 about 4 mounths ago and have just added my 4th fish. The CUC is doing great, but I would like to add some more interesting critters. Thanks.

Watched the Video and all I saw was a 'Waskolly Wabbit" in a hole, where is Elmer when you need him.....

That is good, and thanks, but I was refereeing to the small little white things around the sponge. They remind me of the seeds from a dandelion when they are pollinating. They are so small, I can not get a good picture...

OK, here is what I have.

Well if you did, what is a plant that looks like a tree from the world of Dr. Suess? I have quite a few small ones in my tank. They are about an 1/8th of any inch tall and growing with (?) brown datiom. I had the rocks that this stuff is on in my QT tank. I tried to get a picture, but not that...

I have had to use the Egg crate stuff at work and the guys in the Window dept. will use an old large screwdriver and break the tabs where needed. I used the same method at home and used a small adjustable wrench. I just mesured for the opening and went outside, took the wrench and busted the...

On a trip north, my grandfather got a kick out of the guy on the isle with a personal DVD player and the fact the Gentleman was watching Family Guy. I don't care one way or another, myself.
