    Cool Japanese Aquarium

    A very nice tank. Much more natural-looking than Western tanks IMO. File is too big to post, so here's a link. http://www.cpfarm.com/img/community/...tank01_800.jpg

    Keeping Large Crab

    I tried searching it, but I can't find anything on keeping large crab. By large crab I mean Snow/King Crab types. Went to the fish market a while back, saw a few of them crawling around in that dirty tank. I thought to myself, "If you could get some of those, they'd look pretty darn good." Of...

    Interesting Lying Tidbit

    Try this out. Ask someone to imagine a Purple Buffalo. Note where there eyes head. Then ask them to think of the color of the house they grew up in. They should head to the upper right (your left) and upper left (your right), accordingly, as they first have to visually construct the Purple...

    SketchUp!

    Anyone else tried this new program from Google? Great stuff for building 3-D models. Absolutely free and works great. I already built a couple of stands with it. Enjoy! SketchUp

    29g SPS

    Hi. I'm planning out a 29g SPS 24x24x12 in the following months. So far I've decided on a canopy with a 175w 20,000K Mogul-Base MH Retro. The canopy will be cooled by a fan on either side. I plan on a 1" drain on the left-bottom corner covered by a 12" overflow, and the return through another...

    Pearls?

    Just thought of something; is it possible to have a clam/oyster produce a pearl in a home aquarium? Kind of interesting.

    29g Skimmers

    Hi. I'm planning my 29g 24x24x12 and don't want to skimp on equipment the first time around so I'm looking at what I feel are "good" skimmers. ASM Mini G ASM G-1, G-1X ASM G-2 My main question here is whether you can "over-skim" a tank. In the future I plan on keeping delicate life like SPS and...

    29g Equipment Choices

    Hi. Some of you might already know that I'm looking to set up a 29g sometime within the next few months. At this point I'm planning for a square (24x24x12) aquarium, but if inconvenience prevails, I'll be using a generic 29 long. Right now I'm thinking that I'll be building my own Sump/Fuge...

    30g Schooling?

    Is there anything that will school in a 30g? I'm very inspired by this Japanese tank. It's somewhere around 150g, but I'm trying to recreate it (square-ish format) in a smaller tank. (pretty badly cropped, sorry)

    Square Tanks

    I was looking around on another forum and saw someone talking about a 24lx24wx12h tank (a square, in a sense). I saw a couple pictures and I was just blown away by how natural they look...this got me wanting one. As far as evaporation and such, does anyone know if it's do-able?

    Metal Halide Kelvin?

    Am I missing something here? Most Aquarium Halides I see are around 6500k. Are they different?

    Auction Site Nano

    Fish Food?

    Here's a strange question... ...have you ever eaten your fish's food? Doesn't count if it's actual seafood, like shrimp.

    Starphire Glass

    "Stacked" Lighting?

    This has probably been asked before, but could one have multiple fixtures on one tank? Like have one in the front, one in the middle, one in the back? Thanks :happyfish

    Vacations?

    I'm planning on a 12g Nano. I understand that something like this should "probably" go into the Nano Tanks section, but I think it applies to fishkeeping in general. What do you do when you go away on trips? Start over when you come back?

    Oregonreef Fish

    Does anybody know what that fish on the front of the Oregonreef site is? It looks like some sort of Tang, but I can't figure out for the life of my what it is
