    Blue's 40G Mixed Reef

    yeah, the recent cold spell was just too much for the recently purchased 300w finnex, which has been fine for the past fall. My previous heater was a finnex titanium 800w, but in my genius, I thought to replace it with something that might save me in energy costs. The 300w is good up to 100...

    Blue's 40G Mixed Reef

    Pro Tip: Never rely on your heater's digital reading or controller to provide you with a ballpark tank water temperature. I went in to feed the fish today only to find my favorite fishy friend resting on her side on the sand bed this morning. She was only 7 years old. Controller read 79...

    Blue's 180 Mixed Reef

    I haven't been doing much with the new tank over the holidays. Still saving up for the sump at this point. I probably won't do much more for lighting since whenever I've had a guest over and turn on the Radion XR30 PROs they complain that they're much to bright, lol. Of course that's when I show...

    GlennF's reefing heaven!

    Wish I would have studied Dutch instead of Spanish in high school now... Donde esta el bano? Sure it comes in handy during a trip to Cancun but I'd much rather give up water changes. :) Good thing for schmoogle translate - "The EZ-DSR program contains 4 ready-to-use and balanced dosing...

    GlennF's reefing heaven!

    Me thinks so! I've got the perfect slogan for your advertisement, "Get these gonis before they're goners!" Wait, that sales pitch might need some work... :D

    GlennF's reefing heaven!

    That's going to be a very nice reefscape there! I intend to do something similar in my new build to maximize flow and leaving little space for detritus to build up. Thanks for posting!

    Goodbye to a friend of the reef hobby

    There was definitely something special about Jake. Not many folks I talk to fly across the world to get their coral, but he did! His knowledge, energy, and his willingness engage with fellow reefers and to share those experiences with all of us is unmatched. He had a special insight and vision...

    Goodbye to a friend of the reef hobby

    I just learned of the tragic loss of Jake Adams of Reefbuilders.com. He was a true friend of the reef hobby and will be greatly missed. He was one of the most influential personalities in the hobby. He was an inspiration to me as well. Goodbye for now, friend.

    yes, living vicariously is always a much cheaper option... plus, if something were to go horribly wrong it's relatively easy to divest. :D

    Blue's 180 Mixed Reef

    Thanks man! No leak test yet. I'll wait until I get the sump and plumbing in place and then start to fill the system and perform a leak test. Not sure what I'm doing for a sump yet and quite discouraged at the moment because it does look like there's going to be some delays in this department...

    Blue's 180 Mixed Reef

    Washed the entire aquarium inside & out with vinegar and installed the bulkheads. Next I'll be putting up the lighting. I'm looking for a sump and have a few in mind. However, I'm restricted by the width of the stand to a mere 16 inches. I really like the Synergy Reef SK-44 but it's 2 inches...

    When I play back the video i made back in 2010 I can relive it! Man, I need to get back in too! :)

    Blue's 180 Mixed Reef

    After weeks of consultation, planning, and design, Glasscages.com pulled it off! The stand fit perfectly into place and so did the the aquarium! The movers showed up this morning and after some head scratching and deliberation they were able to get the aquarium in place with the required pad...

    Blue's 180 Mixed Reef

    The eagle has landed! Right now the new tank is still sitting in the back of my truck, parked safely in the garage. In case you're wondering I drove home at 5 MPH under the speed limit cringing at the sight of every pothole. As far as I can tell in this light everything is still okay with the...

    Blue's 180 Mixed Reef

    Received a notification from the FedEx terminal that says the new tank should arrive tomorrow! I'll need to go pick it up myself. They'll load it in the back of my truck. I'm going to curse every bump in the road on the way home and will be on pins and needles until it's safely in its place... lol!!
