    Getting rid of UGF!

    That's a great looking tank! I like how you set up your rocks. How many gallons is it?

    Attention! Structural engineers!! Aquarium stands!

    I'd like this info as well. I'm in the process of thinking up a structural design for a 90 gallon. Thanks.

    Is this diagram of my setup correct?

    About the LR: My LFS has some good Fiji rock (cured) for $6/lb. It's very good looking rock and I won't have a problem with any die off. One of the best LFS's I've seen around here (and there are plenty of them!) The people there are extremely helpful too. And yes, I will put a Durso stand pipe...

    Is this diagram of my setup correct?

    thanks guys. And I've decided to go with the Mag Drive 7 pump instead of the Rio after your advice and a few searches. Another question...I don't plan on buying all of my LR at one time...I'd like to buy half now and add more (up to about 80 lbs) slowly. I know that adding new LR can cause...

    Funny you should mention the built-in overflow Bang Guy. I was thinking the same thing and I'm going to look at a 75 gal Oceanic RR with a built in overflow the afternoon. The LFS wants $260 for it which seems pretty reasonable. I was talking with a friend of a friend who has been in this hobby...

    ok, adding a heater to the list of things I need to get... Anyway, about the LR/LS. I don't think I'd be able to buy uncured LR because I live in a condo. I don't really have anywhere to put it while it's curing. I hear it can stink pretty bad. How much do you suspect I would need. I'd like to...

    Hi all. I've been lurking around on this board for a few weeks now and have learned quite a bit. I took a recommendation and bought "The Conscientious Marine Aquarist" by Bob Fenner and finished it, but I'm still left with a few questions that the book didn't really cover. Let me start off by...
