    what do i do, heat is killing my coral as we speak

    The only way to reduce temperature without a chiller or AC is to place a fan towards the aquarium surface and leave it all day on (you have to replace the water evaporated). I had the same problem as you, i have it in my bedroom and is not very large, so my summers were quite "hot". Now i have...

    In Spain a hippo is about 25-30 $, a flavescens about the same, and the hard corals are about 30-40 $ depending the size. And i was complying about the prices here <img src="graemlins//yell.gif" border="0" alt="[yell]" /> About the money, for most of us it's hard to buy all the stuff, but...

    Concrete aquarium

    Maybe, but i'm not very confident in myself (sorry for my english) about working with plywood and fiberglass. Now i'm in the process of building the house, and i'm more "openminded" about concrete, but i'm still thinking in all possibilities. And that takes me to another question, does anyone...

    Was that a joke or a sarcasm? ;) (just joking) I live in Spain, and here, for that kind of aquarium the cost is about 2.100 $. The other day i remembered a web page i saw time ago of an aquarium in a basement (3500 gallons) that was made of concrete. The other thing i like of it is the...
