    A few questions

    Thanks for the input. The tank is set up on a big bar that seperates our living room from the kitchen. The plan is to build cabinets above and below and trim it all out to give it the built in look. Surfing online has been very tiring. So many different brands and places to order from now that...

    A few questions

    After much thinking, we finally gave in and bought another tank. Couldn't pass up the deal. So since it's been a while for us, and we want to take our time on this tank as it is set up as a room divider which makes it a big center show piece in our house....blah,blah,blah....We would like...

    Magazines?

    Just wondering what fish/reef magazines everyone subscribes too, and which one is your favorite? I used to pick one up at my LFS that was pretty good, but nobody in town has it anymore and I can't remember what it was called.

    Sounds like you are working on a nice setup! I'm still having major issues with the tank. Yes, glass is cheaper and doesn't scratch as easy...major pros, but I'm worried about the durability with 3 little boys and flying objects...not to mention the weight. Pros and cons both ways...hard to...

    Thanks! Yeah we'll have room underneath and beside it for the extra's. We plan on tearing the bar completly out, beefing up the floor, build our own stand, and trim it out where it all looks built in with cabinets underneath, ect. We really miss our tanks, and so greatly want to get another...

    Come on...I know a lot of you guys have some great ideas on design & equipment. Should I go with an island overflow or just at one end? Do you guys think led's are worth it, or should I stick with the plain metal halide? I think I've decided to go acrylic, and would like to hear about others...

    Been MIA for a few years, and had to sell our set up a couple of years ago. We greatly miss it, and now we are tossing the idea around about starting another reef tank. We currently have a big bar that divides the kitchen from the living room. Thinking about tearing it out since it just collects...

    kids and tanks

    ;) We've had our tanks before our son was born (he's 18 months old now). Besides momma, dada, fish was the next word he would say. Patience and telling him no firmly has taught him not to bang on the glass. Also kid cabinet latches on the stand doors. We have never forbidden him from...

    stinky garlic!

    I love the smeel of garlic, and I too have a jar of crushed garlic in my refrigerator. Love the stuff! Didn't even think about using it, instead I bought the kent stuff. That stuff makes me gag every time I use it. I've never checked to see what difference if any there is between the too...

    Would you consider this tank safe for Ick treatment???

    No Greenex! Azonic is right about it stressing the fish. I see you also have a Naso tang. We do too and the tank he's in we had an ick outbreak. Treated with greenex (always had luck with it) and cleared the ick, but our naso then had bloody viens appear in his tail fin. Then treated with...
