yeah nothings cheep in this hobby. and what sandman just said is very true. you should look at getting the glass shop to cut your glass for you its usually not that much more and beveling the edges isn't difficult, just run a sharpening stone along the edges and it will take the sharp edges off...

What is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to yourself or someone close to you? For me it would have to be when one of my best mates who happens to be my partners brother got hit by a train. how is that lucky you might ask? on the 8th of october 2004 my girlfriends brother Nathan...

sorry jsut noticed i put 5' its 4' and was hoping that you only wouldn't be able to see the dark patches in the sides im really not that worried about not having light dependent creatures in the sides. I figured i was gonna get the response you gave but thought it cant hurt to try. seeing as i...

My tank is 5'x2'x2' roughly and no i wasn't planning on keeping clams but if i can i probly will. bulbs for all are easy enough to get hold of and 400watters are only slightly more expensive. Bourganaes i live in Australia so by the time i was to ship them and the exchange rate and buying a...

Ok i can pick up a 150,250 and 400 watt MH for roughly the same price as each other brand new and i was wondering if there was any reason given that i havn't designed or built my hood yet. that i wouldn't get the 400watt and make a higher hood, positioning the halide higher and therefore be able...

lol Nice Bruce. Well today i got back from a trip to brissy to pick up some stuff i had shipped from bali and noticed that again they have moved. Are there any specifics that will distinguish between Majano and Zoanthids? should Zoa's only have one "row" of "tenticals"? cause the largest one has...

Ok well about a week ago i had one of my Zoanthids Bud and i had a new little baby Zoa:D Ok normal enough. But today i noticed that it had moved a good inch and a half from where it originally was. Its only about a third of an inch across itself. I think its because there is no real colonie of...
