    WTB tank in KY

    I thought maybe you bought the 75g SW setup that went for $150 more than I was going to bid. I've been watching that system for a week, now I'm on every board and classified section around, trying to dig up a deal. :)

    To float or drip..that is the question!

    I too didn't vote because I do both. My first try with drip only, I couldn't get the temp up in the acclimation water. Now I float the bags in the sump, and drip nice clean aeriated water from the fuge into the bags. It's easy, no mess, no buckets, and most of all, it works.

    Ophiura-Which Star is Right for Me?

    Thank you very much for your reply. Linkia multiflora...I had not heard of the star, thanks for the suggestion. It looks to be on "possibly do-able" list of reef safe stars. :) It's a very nice looking star also. I have yet to find the maximum adult size though. As far as when to introduce...

    Ophiura-Which Star is Right for Me?

    OK, I have a 55g display, 10g fuge, 10g sump, skimmer, 88lbs LR, and 2" sand bed. My tank is currently 2 months old with a stocking of 2 Zebra Turbos, 4 Nassirius, 3 Hermits, 1 Emerald Crab and as of yesterday I added 1 Percula Clown, 1 Coral Banded Shrimp, and a Zoo Colony of about 200+...

    first time to top off tank

    Bought LR from brat and was very pleased. Asked for a preference on size, and received exactly what I wanted. Bought the LR sight-unseen due to a good price and received beautiful rock shapes with a good amount of coraline and some bonus critters. Great person to deal with. Transaction was...

    Could you get a pic up of the DT and stand at least? My SIL is wanting a SW setup, and so the wife nominated me to search around for one. Also, how much?

    What would you put in a custom stand?

    Definitely make a "home" for your ballasts! My Dual MH ballast is a big aluminum box that sits at the end of the tank, in the floor. It sticks out like a sore thumb! Another idea: Figure out exactly how much height you will need for your sump/fuge/skimmer etc, then add about 4 to 6" to what...

    My Do-it-Myself refugium

    In my case, one big one wouldn't fit unless I took out the rear vertical brace, drug the tank and stand out away from the wall, then put the sump in and put everything back into place. I know I can't take out the front vertical, as it's doweled in place...I know, I built it. As of now I have...
