Skimmer is sold. I need to find a new home for the Hammerhead and the Mag 36. I'll have some extra LR in a couple weeks so that will need a new home as well as the 180 tank/sump only combo. All the plumbing will go along with this guy. Local pick up only, make an offer.

Awesome!! Congrats!!

Thanks Greg.

Re: Here's a sneek peek of my upcoming 400 gal project. Good grief that thing's massive (the tank, not your wife) :)

Thanks Brenda. You know that saying "Jack of all trades, master of none"? Unfortunately, I think that's me. I enjoy doing anything as long as it's creative, I just have a tendency to get bored quickly and move on to the next thing. I think it's the ADD in me.

think I may have found a new hobby... here's Livi's first birthday cake that I just finished

Hey Jeremy...I didn't mean that he has a cabinet for his skimmer, but a cabinet next to his tank that looks like it's part of his stand. Kind of like a utility closet. Let me see if I can find a pic.

It's one of those creepy nights. The sky is covered in clouds that are passing by quickly enough so that I can catch a glimpse of the moon every now and then. It should be so dark you can't see a thing, but it's eerily bright. It's so humid you feel drenched as soon as you open the...

That sucks!! I'd beat 'em down!! I just spent the majority of my day Sunday buffing out our acrylic aquarium inside and out with an acrylic buffing kit from Everclear. It did an awesome job on the finer scratches (they have a separate one for deep scratches) and it attaches to a power...

The skimmer's yours, Jeremy. I also saw that you were contemplating a shrimpgoby. I had a yellow watchman and tiger pistol shrimp in my 180 and they were SO much fun to watch.

I had a sudden appearance of a LOT of tiny red feather dusters in my tank that look just like that. Their tubes aren't as long as the other micro dusters but they're definately feather dusters.
