For wood type it is all personal preference. I built a stand for a 90 gallon out of oak and then stained it a Reddish color. Look like a million bucks. However pine can be beautiful, and is not as much $$$'s.

I am very confused. I put 10lbs of Live Rock that was covered with coralline algae about 4 months ago. 1 month ago I started adding Kent Marine Liquid Calcium, Strontium & Molybdenum and Iodine. I still have not see the algae spread to any other part of the tank. I have an aqua clear 202 as...

I got one and within a week it had died on me. Not a pretty sight. If you are going to get one at a LFS don't let the person helping you touch it with thier hands. The oils in your hands are really bad for the starfish.

You can put a pygmy angel in a 29? It isn't too small?

Hello All, My 10gallon experiment has been fun, but the tank is starting to leak. So I thought that I would take the opportunity to upgrade to a 29 gallon tank. Currently my only fish in the 10 is an orange tailed damsel, however I would like to get rid of him and get something else. That...

You have got to be kidding! I have been snorkleing in Florida with those buggers and they get LONG! I would say at least 3-4 feet. Since your 90 is probably only 4 feet long and 18 inches wide, that guy will have a tough time turning. You would need a HUGE tank to keep one. IMO

Have you thought about an orange-tail blue damsel. Not too expensive, aggressive feeders, heck you could just say agreessive and they don't get huge.

Congradulations! They are fast buggers. This one took about an hour to finally die in the Freshwater. I feel like putting a pin through him and putting him on the wall above the tank to serve as a warning... LOL

YES!!! Over the last few months, I have noticed a steady decline in my livestock. They would just dissapear and my shrimps would be shredded. Today I noticed a little brown thing hiding in the shadows of my LR. When I shined a flashlight on it, it scurried away. I immediately started taking...

OK, what is the difference between, Fiji, Marshall Island, Happia, Gulf and Tonga branch LR. Obviously they all come from different places, but is thier a difference in density or shape? I am sure that being from different places their is a lot of bio-diversity, but is that it? Any help would...

Control Baby, It's all about control! ;) The fish are also very pretty!

I would get it and simply get a smaller pump. You will probably want to upgrade to a bigger tank in the future, so I don't think it would be a bad idea to get a bigger skimmer.

I'm with Ocean Blue, My cleaner is the most aggressive eater in the tank. He just whips his little tenticles or whatever you call them around and collects all the food around him.

Just a FYI, I have purchased a ETSS Evolution 500 with a WMD-30RLT Iwaki Pump for mine... They aint cheap, but I heard that they work fantastic.

Let me put it this way, I will have a sump for my 90. Currently I am unemployed and the progress I was making on my 90 has slowed to a halt for the time being. However I am planning and have ordered two different sumps. My stand is 40 inches tall so I made a shelf in the tank. On the upper...

I have a 90 and have built my own stand. I had a ton of fun doing it. I also did it with 4x4's and oak faced plywood. The stand was 40 inches tall. The only problem with 4x4's is that they will take up a ton of room under your tank. Especially on the sides. If you figure take 1 1/2 inches...

I have a 90gal. and will be using a 29 gallon Sump.

Oh yea, I built it right after the earthquake that hit Seattle, so this baby isn't going anywhere! It really turned out nice, I am attempting to put up how I did it online. I don't have a scanner right now, but as soon as visit my fathers house (he has one) I will send you pics. Send me your...

Don't worry about your shrimp molting. My cleaner did the same when I first put him/her in the tank. They do it about every three wks. Just add a little iodine to the water. It will help them keep their new "skin" healthy.

I have a 10 gallon with 15lbs of LR a Fire Shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp, emerald crab, and a small Psudecromis (sp.) and three feather dusters. For a clean up crew I have two mexican turbo snails, 2 blue leg and one scarlet hermits. My tank is kept very clean, in fact the last time I had to clean...
