    I live in the Galleria area. My girlfriend and I have 3 FW tanks and 2 SW tanks in a 1bedroom apt. We bought a snowflake eel about two weeks ago and have enjoyed its crazy antics. It takes food and thrashes it in a death roll like a crocodile :) We named him Spot after his colors of course and...

    **PIC INTENSIVE** New Rock!! YAY!!!!!

    The hideous thing in the corner is a mag7 with pvc on it for water flow. I had done this due to the fact that i could not get rid of the IMMENSE ammount of bubbles generated when i turn on my little giant. What ive done now is put the little giant into a closed loop setup and the mag7 is now in...

    **PIC INTENSIVE** New Rock!! YAY!!!!!

    Well a guy at work is closing out his tank so that he can move. I bought 440w of VHO from him a couple weeks ago, this time i got probably a 100lbs of liverock from him. The rock is still all live, but since itw as kept in "storage" with no lighting all the coraline algea is gone. I think the...

    How do I build a spray bar

    I built mine entirely out of pvc. Just ran pipes over the sides of the tank with endcaps and drilled holes in the pipes. I have one in each corner that goes down nealy to the sand and one that goes horizontaly across the back glass. I have a STRONG pump tho as all the pipes have several 90...

    For those who say they have microbubbles

    No after 10 minutes i turn it off :) its due to the HUGE ammount of water it moves (1950gph at 0ft ) and that makes a TON of bubbles in my sump that are being sucked up and blown back into the tank by the 3 spraybars. So until i get the microbubble issue in the sump solved ill have this issue in...

    A Differant type of Hitchhiker

    When i got up this morning I saw this interesting sight in my tank. Apparently one of my Zebra hermits had gotten bored with the idea of walking around the tank on its own and decided that hitching a ride on the Queen Conch was the better way to move around the tank. I believe it paid its fare...

    My Emerald crab is on steroids

    I think thats the key for most critters. Make sure they are well fed and they wont go after the stuff you wanna keep. Long as they arent starving they should be good inhabitants.

    My Emerald crab is on steroids

    My two have been great. Only thing they go after is algea and food. Other than that no problems at all. And like i said the green chromis i have sleep right next to them in the rocks. There has been no aggression at all out of the crabs. Suprising, but true.

    My Emerald crab is on steroids

    This is a picture of my emerald crab trying to bench press a queen conch. It actually succeeded in tossing it a couple inches. It hasnt killed anything even tho my chromis sleep right next to it in the rock. But its a BIG crab.. the body alone is probably quarter size at least.
