OK, my rose BTA that has been happy and content at one end of the tank has overnight transversed the length of the tank (almost 6' 125 gal tank) and this morning I found it half sucked into my HOT filter intake!! The filter is a Whisper 6 series and the intake strainer is rather coarse...

OK, just found that my sump is leaking!!! And to think I was blaming the dog for the puddle on the floor!! It is a glass 40-gal tank that I have set up as my sump/fuge. Draining it is not an option at this point. It is leaking from a small spot on the seam where the front panel joins with a side...

OK, gotten a bunch of requests on how to do this. Prior to 2 weeks ago, I had no idea either, but it is really easy to learn. I did not take any pics durring mod, sorry. It is really easy to do and describe without pics. Here is the step-by-step. I tried it with two different materials. First...

Gotten a few questions on how I did this one, so here is some in-process pics and final pic. This canopy is designed for MHs over a 92 gallon corner tank. The front curve I simply traced from the tank and cut out of wood. Used that as a template for the top one. Used vertical supports every...

Sorry about last post with the pics, did not mean to advertise. Just wanted to share. Would have tried emailing you but that feature is disabled.

I just got done building two new canopies for a friend. The first is for a 92 gallon corner tank. It will eventually be fitted with metal halide lighting, has normal lighting now. The second is a standard 75 gallon tank canopy. That is only to have PC lighting. Just thought I would share...

OK, went to my first frag swap this weekend and came away with 8 SPS frags. Only spent $50 TOTAL for the day!!!!! This includes admission, raffle tickets, ect!!!! :jumping: :cheer: Here are a few pics of what I got. Nothing super fancy, but a good deal!

OK, I was doing my bi-weekly big cleaning and water change today. Part of that routine is taking off the skimmer collection cup and washing it out good (an ASM G3x). My sump room is also the laundry room. Well, I was not paying attention and almost tripped over a bucket.....and dropped the...

Do you want a custom stand or hood but don't have the time, tools or talent to make one? Don't want to pay ton$ of money to a store to buy a sub-quality stand? I have found myself with a lot of spare time in the next several weeks so I am willing to build you the stand and/or hood of your...

I was looking in my fuge last night and I swear I saw something move. Upon further inspection, I found that what I thought was an algae leaf is actually some sort of hitchiker!!! It is about 1" long and looks like a land slug, but all green. No idea where he came from or how long he/she/it...

OK, I'm bored tongight and realized that I have never posted a pic of my fump/fuge. My 125 is on the other side of the wall. The tank is a 45 gal tank (used to be under the stand until we moved.....and now I have a fish room). The skimmer (ASM G4) is on the left where the inflow goes to...

Here are some pics that I took tonight. The small clown is my newest inhabitant fresh out of QT!! The tiny anemone is a split off of the big one (which is about 12" across) and the little guy is less than 1" across!!! Enjoy!!

I have an ASM G4 skimmer and have been having problems lately with the venturi air intake line geting clogged with salt creep. Never been a problem in the 9+ months that it has been running until the last few weeks. Tried flushing the line with water, took it off and cleaned it, cleaned the...

I have broken down my 29 gallon and have about 30-35 pounds of good aragonite live sand that I want to get rid of. Figure if someone could use it, it would be better then throwing out. Pickup only. Please provide your own containter to transport it in (5-gal bucket will work). Post or email if...

I have a large GSP colony on a 3-4 pound LR that is loaded with coralline. The rock is about 6" high, 5" wide and about 4-5" deep. It is circled in the pic. Looking for interesting stony frags (preferred), mushrooms or polyps that I dont' have. Post of email if interested. Thejediray@aol.com

Been a while since I posted any pics. This is a few from my 125 reef that I took this evening. Not spactacular pics, but not bad. My fish were just not photogenic today I guess!! Enjoy!

I have broken down my 29 gallon tank. I don't have any plans to bring it up anytime soon as a reef (keeping tank itself for a large QT or emergency tank) I have my custom made hood for the tank. It is stained oak and fits on standard 29 gallon tanks. I think it would fit on a 20 long as...

I am looking for a used--but working--Mag-5 for my DIY Ca reactor. My old one got dropped when cleaning and it cracked. If anyone has one laying around, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Thanks.

OK, just FINALLY got done with the big move from Springfield up to Chicago. Got the sump/fuge plumbing ran and hooked up. Due to time, had to run both my display tank and my sump/fuge as seperate systems for a week prior to re-joining them up (more on this in another post later). Anyway, when...
