For reasons discussed towards the end of this thread, I recently have been tearing down my 300g reef to convert it into a FW planted tank. I could never give up reefkeeping cold turkey, so I managed to find a way over the past few weeks to get my old 65g tank set back up as a reef. All of...

An hour or so after performing a water change, some routine maintenance, and cleaning my skimmer yesterday afternoon, I started hearing a "rattling" sound coming from my tank room. I walk in and see the skimmer's lid floating and dancing on the most foam I've ever seen produced by a skimmer...

While browsing through old photos on my PC today, I came across a pic of my first SW tank from years ago. I thought it would be fun to post that pic and compare it to my tank today! So feel free to post pics of your first tank and compare them with your current tank as it is today. If your...

Almost two weeks ago, I picked up a Multicolor Angel from a local hobbyist. I've admired this fish for quite awhile, so when I saw this one for sale locally at a price I could afford, I jumped all over it. The fish was quite shy for about the first 10 days in my reef, but is now becoming more...

Who do you all think will win this year's Indy 500? Honda power looks really strong, especially in the Andretti/Green and Rahal/Letterman cars. But the weather forecast is calling for a 40% chance of T-storms, so there is a good chance of a rain-shortened race bringing forth an unheralded...

Inspired by Skirrby's hip hop Cleaner Shrimp (https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show....php?t=164108), here is a link to a video I created of my 300g mixed reef: Reef Video

I'm not a very good photographer, but the sweeper tenticles on my galaxea inspired me to get the camera out and take some shots tonight.

After almost a year of planning, purchasing, and getting past some unexpected obstacles, the work on my dream inwall setup has finally started! The original plan was to put a 150g inwall with a fishroom, and I got so far as actually having the tank and most of the equipment for it. Some...

I haven't added anything to my tank since last spring, but I have moved it twice since then. Well, last night I was looking closely at my LR (the most recent piece was added 2 years ago) and found a small LPS colony that looks like it's probably a Favid of some sort. I'll try to take a pic of...

I saw this story on my Yahoo! homepage this morning: http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...covery_claim_7 In my opinion, the evidence presented makes Sarmast's claim of discovering Atlantis seem credible.

Circumstances revolving around the sale of my home have forced me to postpone the plans for setting up my dream tank and forced me to sell the components I have already collected. So, I have for sale the following:-Brand New 150 Gallon low-iron glass tank built by Glasscages dimensions are 60"L...

My wife and I recently moved into temporary housing which unfortunately didn't have enough room for my 65 gallon reef. I decided the best thing to do was set up a smaller reef that I could transfer my livestock into at our temporary house. The day that I made this decision, I found a local...

I moved the contents of my 65 into a temporary 29 gallon reef yesterday and couldn't fit all of the LR into the temporary tank. So I have a few pieces, I'd guess anywhere from 10-20 lbs. along with about 15-20 lbs. of LS sitting in a 5 gallon bucket with a powerhead circulating the water. The...

I am starting up a 29 gallon system and don't want to use a canopy (mainly for heat-related reasons), so I devised and built a housing for a 250W MH that's somewhere between a pendant and a canopy (basically a wooden box on stilts attached to the stand) I'll post some pics later this weekend)...

I'm looking for a 30-50 gallon tank and stand. It doesn't have to be pretty; no preference on acrylic or glass, but drilled or reef ready is a plus. I also have a Lifereef floatswitch in excellent condition that I'd be willing to trade or include in a deal to offset some of the cost.

Sitting around experiencing an afternoon of sheer boredom here at work, I got to thinking about all the tanks I've had setup over the years. That got me curious about how long folks around here have had their various tanks set up. So, how long have you had your tank(s) set up? Here is a list...

I will be using a 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank (58"L x 39"W x 25"H) for my refugium when I build my new system. I've got the flow pretty much figured out (T from pressure-rated return pump (probably Iwaki 55RLT or 70RLT), overflow back into 55 gallon sump; 400-500gph), but I'm unsure of...

Euro Reef CS6-1 Rated for 100 gallons 10"x8 1/2" footprint 20" tall This skimmer includes a dead Sedra 3500 pump with all parts (including the original and moderately worn needle wheel impeller; this pump was fried during a power surge) and a BRAND NEW Sedra 3500 with brand new needle-wheel...

Recently, I've been researching external pumps to use on the return for my soon-to-be setup 150. The plumbing plans haven't been finalized yet, but they will likely include a 150 gallon stock tank refugium and 55 gallon sump. Up to three 1 1/2" Durso or Stockman standpipes will drain water...

I went to bed around 1am last night and noticed the room rattling a little, kind of like after a thunderclap occurs, except it lasted about 45 seconds. I could have sworn it was an earthquake, but wrote it off as thunder (we had overnight storms forcasted for last night). So I get up this...
