Looks like it is going to be a nice tank, but I would move the hardware, i.e. heater and PHs, to the back corner. Bouncing the PH currents off the front glass can make for some diverse currents, and the front of the pile can be a place for those guys who like thier breeze more towards the...

If I worked at the titty bar, I think the fish would probably starve... Then again, if I worked at Home Depot, I would never get a check... better stick with electrical engineering, just don't tell my mother, she still thinks I am a piano player in a ho'house... The lighting program has been in...

My six line is a feisty little guy and he decided that anyone who moved into the hood needed to be put in their place. I give him a time out in the sump for a week or so after I add a new contestant and when he got out of 'the slam' he was the new kid on the block.... "I coulda been a...

For all intents and purposes it is covered. I have the oceanic cap on it which is open in the back and installed 2-4" fans against the outside edge oof the opening. There is a cover on the cap but with a 36" x 6 inch opening in back, "covered" would be an asthetic description. The best of...

Blow the air in. Its an aquarium not an amplifier, there are no heat sinks on the water...and it won't pressurize Jack Chit Fans stay cooler fan noise is baffled in the hood AND THE SALT DOESN"T EAT THE FAN MOTOR!!!!!! Geez no brainer

Fans don't care if they are DC, which most are. DC motors will turn both directions

A common problem...cut the rubber band on each side of the leather and pull both ends. it will stretch which will somewhat release it from the leather and you can usually just pull it through.

put filter floss on the vertical wall from the top lip to the top of the water in the sump side, use the blue and white pad type. the water will find its way down the outside after awhile when it starts to plug up. you can hold it place with the large PLASTIC paper clips or slice some 3/8...

If you are going to spend 199 buckeroos on a CP at 260 you can get a MH 250 on ---- for about 179 ( I think)... The cap is a definite 'must have' and yep they are seemingly flimsy, but not so much as you might think. As far as wives go, I divorced mine in 1992, kept the 23 month old boy and he...
