    Opinions on fish list and compatability

    I keep tossing ideas around about what fish I want in my 58 that is currently being setup. I am positive it will house a dwarf lion, but I am having a hard time building around that. My current idea is to have a dwarf lion, kole tang, and possibly a SFE. There will be heavy skimming, so I do...

    58 FO, which way to go???

    If you could stock a 58 gallon tank with either community fish or as an aggressive tank, what would you add??? I am currently trying to decide how to stock my new 58 that is now going to be FO. Any help would be terrific. Feel free to throw some ideas at me.

    Stocking help for 58 gallon

    Hi all, I am setting up a new 58 gallon and have decided not to go reef with it. I am thinking I would like to have a dwarf fuzzy lion and a small eel, prolly an SFE. Any other suggestions? I def. want the lion, but the eel is up in the air. I also thought about getting a sargassum angler...

    570 watts too much for a 58?

    I just picked up a 58 gallon oceanic yesterday and will be moving my 20 long into it sometime in the near future. I am going to stick with VHO lighting but am trying to figure out whether I should go with a 5 or 6 bulb setup. If I do the 6 bulbs I will be using 3 Actinics and 3 50/50s for a...

    My 20 long at 18 months

    Thought I would drop in and let yall know how the tank is doing. It has been about 18 months since I set up my 20 long, and in that time I have changed lighting from PCs to VHO and also rescaped my tanks numerous times. Once I switched over to VHO my tank really took off, all my LPS are doing...

    My completed tank in pictures

    It has been a while since I posted here so I figured I could put up some shots of my 20 long that is now full of life and 18 months old. Lit by 150 watts VHO and completely skimmerless, this tank has been an absolute dream. I have a definite theme of LPS corals, but do have a few SPS and...

    Swapping out PCs for VHO in a CSL hood

    Here are some pics of the retro I did in my CSL moonlight PC hood. I decided to switch over to 2 24" VHO bulbs for a total of 150 watts. That is 20 more than the stock lighting, and the coloration is significantly better. Anyways, here is a shot of the hood before I did anything to it.

    I'm switching to VHO!

    I have been wanting to do this for a while now and after hanging out and looking at my friends tank last weekend I finally ordered a VHO retro. I will be stripping the PC stuff out of my 30" CSL hood and putting in its place two 24" URI VHO bulbs. It will give me 150 watts, compared to 130...

    My Hawkfish found a new spot to perch

    Since getting my arc eye a week or two ago, he has finally started to lose his shyness. I found him relaxing in my brain this evening and shot some pics. Sorry for the glass being dirty.

    OT: Aggie Bonfire

    Ever since the collapse of Aggie Bonfire back in '99 the university has refused to hold it on campus. This has led former and current students to hold off campus burns. This year is probably the best of the off campus ones yet. I attended it tonight and brought my camera along. To give some...
