    Noisy Neighbors...What to do?

    I live in a second-story apartment, and my living room, dining room, kitchen, and balcony overlook a house in the adjoining subdivision. I've deduced that the neighboring family consists of a stay-at-home mom, two young boys (maybe 4 and 8?), a father who is only home in the evening, and a nice...

    My Lionfish Tattoo! :)

    I've had this completed for almost a year now, but I've never gotten around to sharing it with you folks. Obviously, I let my tattoo artist take some creative liberty. This was done in three sittings. It's the start of a ocean-themed half sleeve; I'm trying to stick to Red Sea species. I'm not...

    Katie's 55g Tank Diary

    * I started all this last month, so this is a little late in posting -- I used a disposable camera that I wanted to fill up before getting developed. My parents bought me a digital camera for my birthday, so future pics for this thread will be better quality. :) * Thursday, April 5th Bought 55g...

    For Anyone who has PVC piping for their eel...

    I'm trying to really pre-plan my tank for the snowflake eel's comfort, and plan on having PVC in the sandbed. The tank is 48" long, and I'm planning to have the pipe run the entire length of the tank, with an outlet angled out of the sand/rock on each end. My question: Does the PVC piping need...

    Tribond...Let's play!

    My fiance and I got a new board game. Tribond. Totally awesome. I thought it would be fun to post some of the questions. For those of you who don't know, Tribond gives you three objects, which may be places, words, names, etc. You must find the common bond. Sometimes the answer is a play on...

    FOWLR to reef...adding live rock?

    So it looks as if I'll be getting a 55 gallon that is currently being used as a FOWLR. I'm going to transfer my livestock from my 10g reef. The tank needs more sand and more rock. So my question is: would it be acceptable to add the sand over the current sandbed, let it settle, then add the...

    Choosing Tank Size

    There's a 50g (like the footprint for a 30 gallon, only wider) and a 60g (footprint follows 55g, only taller) at my LFS; same price for tank/stand/hood combo. Here's what I'm thinking: if I were to go with the 60g, I'd probably do a FOWLR -- otherwise, I'd have to get really awesome lighting or...

    Fish Tattoo?

    In mid to late April, I'll be driving up to Portland, Oregon to get a tattoo from a friend's husband. Besides the costs associated with a four-hour drive and couple of day stay, it will be free. I would like to get a fish tattooed on my calf. So my question for you is: What would you consider...
