    FT. Sill, Oklahoma members?

    So I'm spending a few weeks here at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma for some training and wanted to see if there are any members on here from the Lawton (or Oklahoma in general) area.

    Seriously? Has anyone seen this video??

    So I was searching for some nice reef tanks on youtube and came across this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-pl_sM_p-o Seriously? They are making some pretty "eyebrow raising" implications that our hobby has deteriorated our world's reef and that there artificial corals are more...

    So, should I get a crab?

    So I've been thinking getting a crab might be a nice new addition to my reef. Haven't really decided on the type, probably an emerald or sally lightfoot. I just want something that's going to assist my clean up crew. Only thing holding me back is the memory of my horrible freshwater crab... It...

    Check out my 10 AGA Reef Ready

    For all those wanting to tackle this sort of thing. The last few days I was bored so I decided to embark on making a 10 gallon reef ready aquarium since they are essentially not made and if custom made they cost an arm and a leg. So , I got myself a 3/4" bulkhead, a 1 1/2" diamond crusted...

    Leaking Aquarium

    ESV B-Ionic question...

    Kent algae scraper any good?

    I am torn between getting the handheld smaller scraper for better grunt and control, or the one with the 24" handle so I can keep my arms/hands out of the tank. I was wondering if anyone here uses them? I'm tired of trying to control a razor blade underwater. I am going to use it primarily for...

    PH buffer in water topoff??

    Here's a question I've been trying to answer for myself...When I add topoff water to my sump (RO/DI) should I add ph buffer to the new water to bring it up to 8.2?? Or, should the leftover salt from the evaporated water in the tank provide the ph buffer for the RO/DI water? I usually don't add...

    Poisonous Zoanthids

    Just spoke with a fellow reefer who has been doing this foreverrrrrrrr.... He told me to be extremely cautious and use gloves while handling zoos because they have some kind of toxin that is extremely potent to humans... Is that true? He said never handle them with a bare hand especially if you...

    24G Aquapod for sale

    Used a month before I got my 55 long. Needs nothing, comes with heater and powerhead return pump. The only thing is, I got sick and tired of the clips that came with it that hold the entire hood to the tank when flipped completely open so I glued them... Now you won't have to worry about this...
