    Tank Disaster

    I got very little if any water from the LSF in my tank. (you always think that though don't we!) Although that wouldn't surprise me in the least if it had something in it. We don't really have a decent LSF here so no telling what is in their tanks. I have bought things from him in the past and...

    Tank Disaster

    I do use carbon and had been using it the last few days before I took everything out but it didn't seem to help. It was new carbon too. I also have changed it out and have been running it ever since. I changed out 65% of my water now with everything out of it and finally it looks like it...

    Tank Disaster

    I really do enjoy it. I just wish I was better at it! It's very hard for me to understand why everything went south when there is no obvious answer. I am an analytical person can you tell! I still have the 30 gallon hex with my two clowns in it that are doing fine...so far! Knock on wood!

    Tank Disaster

    You know, I have gone through the last month in my head over and over to what I could have done to the tank and I have come up empty handed everytime. It is such a disappointment to me because I really wanted to do this. I just can't stand to kill one more coral!

    Tank Disaster

    Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I tore the tank apart, couldn't find the problem and have decided to sell it. I give up on this hobby. I guess I'm just not cut out for it. I have it posted to sell in the classifieds if anyone is interested. Thanks again!

    58 gal for sale in MO:VHO lighting

    Right now they are 4 - 24" but you can put whatever length of bulb you want in them up to 60" I think. Maybe even 72" but I would have to check. All you do is make them as long as you want and screw them in. They are mounted into my canopy so you would have to have something to mount them too...

    Hey Oklahoma Reefers - question on new aquarium

    I heard that there was a new store in Broken Arrow that was worth checking out. There is also the shop where I buy some of my stuff on the corner of 51st and Sheriden. Aquarium Dynamics is the name of it. She is really nice and they have some really nice tanks. When are you going?

    temp problem

    I bought an oak hood and had 660 VHOs mounted into the hood. Took it home and the water was instantly 85 degrees and climbing. I went to Radio Shack and got 2 115v fans, cut two holes on either side of the hood and mounted them. One blowing air in, one blowing air out. Worked really well...
