Well I posted a few weeks back about some tank boredom setting in. I finally decided to trade in my soft corals and go all sps. This also involved a break down of the 125 and setting back up in a 75 gall tank that my light fixture was meant for anyways and was a necessity for the sps. Tank...

As some of you might rememberer when I set up my 125 I added a PBT rescued/bought a a local petco which equates to parasite exposure. He pulled through fine but I knew the tank was exposed and sure enough after some maintenance which involved moving some things around in the tank the minor...

Follow this link and second down from top left is Andreas reef tank video.http://www.reefvideos.com/ No sump, no skimmer, no calcium reactor, mixes sps and softies etc. I am not saying that all of this equipment is not a good thing but it is definitely not mandatory. Set up your tank on...

Playing around with flip vid and youtube tonight. New tank is starting to settle in nicely. Petco PB tang is still with me and I think has become completely adjusted to aquarium life. Still need to paint some of the equipment and then just let it grow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RVYnAWhf3w

Or does all the equipment associated with this hobby suck? I have quite the box full. Skimmers that don't, name brand light fixtures where the ballast last little over a year, return pumps that leak voltage, power heads that spit micro bubbles and I am sure if I thought about it I could come...

Came across this on another forum and for the life of me can not find it again to link. Its incredibly simple and reversible in about minute. First adjust the red nob so that the most water is being passed through the skimmer. This is when the bubbles rise up the collection tube the least if...

Just a heads up on this product. I purchased one nearly new for 50 bucks. Seller was quite honest stating he could not make the filter stop blowing micro bubbles into tank. After hours trying to find the source of air entering this canister I have given up. There are also numerous...

I keep changing my mind and know thinking I want a sump and fuge on the new tank. Common problem here; cant fit sump through front door of stand. Ten gal tank(s) will fit but ones not enough. Here is what I came up with and am wondering if there are potential problems with this configuration...

I have decided to try going sumpless with the new 120 tank. This means hanging on the skimmer (ugh). I hate micro bubbles and also have no idea what happened to the original bubble trap for the coralife super skimmer 220 (that did not work worth a crap anyway), I had to improvise. Below is...

A photographer I am not. A few of my leathers are not to pleased with the move right now but otherwise no problems other than haveing a bunch of empty space to fill up. Looks like my visa card may get a work out in the near future

So about 8 months ago I purchase a top of the line water proof metal detector. Hit the beach and shallows finding quite a bit of nice jewelry here in south west Florida. Unfortunately my feet are tore up. Never had athletes foot before so I forgo the metal detecting for a couple a weeks and...

Walgreen's drug store with the rest of the water purification supplies has a hand held TDS meter. 15 bucks. Non replaceable battery but at that price you cant beat it. Auto shut off so battery should last for awhile. Seems to work well. Rinse out your fresh water holding cans every so...

When it comes to reef tanks not absolutely nothing but pretty darn close. Over my years of reef keeping nearly 100 percent of the problems, frustrations and worry associated with these tanks are directly related to the only vertebrates in the tank, fish, and there requirement for the hobbyist...
