Hello All, I should probably re-introduce myself and my tank. I am Doc. I used to be on this forum years ago. I got too busy and got away from the forum and the hobby. I am not even sure if anyone has been here long enough to remember my tank. Somehow, my tank has survived massive...

WTF!!! Photobucket is not copying the IMG code like I have been doing for, oh, 3 years... and I cannot post my mean pics of the new additions to my build threads. I feel.... cheated somehow! Ideas to help? -Doc

Doc is running a contest on his reef build. Check it out. Real prize for winner!!!

So, I came home from work just now and I noticed a few of my corals were all closed up. All my xenia have sucked their ployps into the stalks and my goni is all closed in. I checked temps and that was OK. The rest of the coral looks normal. The hammers are out like normal and the SPS are...

Well, I figure I would give it a try. Since I moved up to a new tank, I figured I needed to add two more powerheads and an additional smaller one for my sump. I looked at them at the store and before blowing $100 bucks, I wanted to check to see if anyone on the forum had some laying around...

I have noticed that these things are spreading all over my rocks and sand. Any idea what they are? They are almost square. they are brownish / reddish and they are pissing me off. Also, ideas about getting rid of them. Thanks in advance. -Doc

I just picked up this sump today, dirt cheap. I am trying to figure out what to do with these bulkheads. Are they for intake from the DT to start the filtration process? OR are they to be at the end, where I somehow hook up powerheads to force the water into the DT. It makes sense to me that...

I need to buy some silicone from the home depot that is safe for my sump. I want to put in baffles after all. Ideas? name brands, content? help me out. I am making my sump tomorrow. Thanks in advance -Doc

I have a BIG problem on my shark tank build thread. I need some help with carpentry. Any knowledgeable help would be greatly appreciated!!! -Doc

Does anyone have one other than Yote? I am looking for feedback. I got one a month ago and he is still alive. I have set me own personal record for keeping one alive. He eats great. He gives the tang a run for his money. I will update with pics tomorrow or so. He is a stud. Yote, aren't...

I have had some problems posting my POTM entry. I am simply using this post to figure out what the hell I am doing wrong.

It has been months since I posted pics of the 125. I finally did a water change and got myself geared up for the POTM contest. I wanted to share a few pics that did not make the cut for POTM. I will put what I think is the best shot on that thread. I hope you like them. I imagine the fish...

it took me forever, but I finally got a few feeding videos of my radiata. I had to break it up into three vids though, each being a minute or so long. If you are interested, here he is. -Doc

Phew, it has been a battle with my Radiata Lionfish. He was nice and fat when I bought him a few months ago. Luckily, he had some good fat stores because he refused to eat for the first 6 weeks. I tried everything. Nothing would interest him. I finally got desperate and added live fish...

Yes my friends and fans, it is true. The hype and the wait is all over. The build thread has started. I am headed to the home depot tomorrow to get the wood I need for the tank stand and I will take my sweet time in building it. I have to make sure the 2 x 4 structure will support the weight...

just added a few things, take a gander on my 90 reef build. Shameless self promotion! -Doc

I just posted some full tank shots on my build thread (self promotion!) Take a peak if you like! -Doc

OK you smart people, help a newbie out. OK, well I am not a super newbie, but as far as refugiums go, I am. I have been toying with the idea of putting in a chamber in my sump for a fuge. I imagine it will help with the nitrates created by big fish, but here is a question, does it do anything...

I am looking for plans for something...big. How hard is it to find plans for tank stands? any links to websites that are trust-worthy? -Doc

As I make my plans for my new tank (thanks to the upcoming economic stimulus package from the gov't) I wanted to clarify how I can use the volume of my sump to my advantage in keeping fish. As I understand it, sump volume is added to the DT volume and can be counted in as total volume for...
