Re: Dane's 100 Gallon Marine Setup I just read all 10 pages and I am totally impressed with how well this has come together. Awesome job dskirtech. I wanted to point out (or even ask all those others more experienced) in your pic of the return pump you have a metal hose clamp around your...

I've watched this tank grow, in person. Here's a link to the 3 month pictures. https://www.livingreefs.com/my-90-gallon-reef-after-3-months-t17919.html Great growth....looks like a much older tank.

Really looking good. I need to come by and see it in person. The new mushrooms are loooking pretty happy.

Michaelallff-I just purchased and used the nano overflow drilling package that glass-holes.com sells. I posted my pics of the process on their website forum for all to see. It was about as easy as their video shows and their customer service is aweswome. You WILL NOT be disappointed. Below is...

Great start BryanS. Other than my 5gal SW Eclipse, I also have a 37gal FW with Eclipse 3 hood. So, I have a question concerning your lighting...if I'm not mistaken you too currently have an Eclipse hood on your tank and using the filtration system. Do you plan to modify the hood to incorporate...

Understand 100% but I've been working with my 5gal Eclipse learning the basics...very basics. I currently have a 37g FW that is in the place where I would eventually put a larger reef tank but for now I need to continue to learn. I'm sticking with my current plan for a couple reasons and then...

Thanks Messiah, understand what you're saying but I really want to experience 'building' this one instead of just going out and 'buying' a package deal. Daughetry/Yote/Nudy - thanks for the links and info.

Hello all, After playing around with a 5 gallon Eclipse corner w/11 pounds of LR, 1 small clown, and 3 peppermint shrimp, for about 2 months, I'm now ready to move up. I found a 20g tall with hood and stand on Craig's List for $35, and a 10g for sump for $7. I have some odds and ends (Koralia 1...

OK, after adding the nano sized clown last night and watching him for at least two hours I shut off the lights and turned in. Got up this morning, turned on the light and see the clown on the bottom of the tank looking very slow. He made his way to the other side of the tank behind a rock on a...

I have considered a goby as I love watching my buddies' and his personality. But I really like the black and white clown fish. Would I be overdoing it if I put in one of each? Or could I get one clown fish now and wait for a while and then consider adding a goby? Either way do I NEED to get rid...

Well, it's been almost a month of cycling and I now have my ph at 8.2 and salinity to 1.024. LFS says I should be good to add a fish. I'm considering a yellow tail blue damsel or goby or percula. I also still have the three peppermint shrimp but was considering seeing if my buddy would like two...

I upgraded the bulb to a 5500k 14w spiral halogen. GE's 'daylight' bulb. :happysun:
