I picked up a 135g(72x18x22) for cheap a few months back. My original intent was to replace the frames(scratched and dinted), replace one pane of glass(bad clamshell in one corner that caused a leak), build a killer stand(already had done that), and drill in overflows, so i could set it up as...

Sorry i've been MIA for a while. New job is very time consuming. I've got a new frag tank project going up. Short story, I had a 90g non drilled tank with multiple clam shells on the front glass. Tried to give it away, nobody wanted it. SO, i chopped it apart, took the back glass and 1...

Chapter 1 of 2 How To Cut Down A Glass Aquarium First let me state a few things. The descriptions include methods/tools I used, and the results I received. Just because something worked/didn’t work for me does NOT mean that you will get the same results. It does mean that this result is...

Ive recently aquired a Giant Cup mushroom...bout 12" across, and am contemplating fragging it. Does this type of mushroom require special care or is it much the same as most mushrooms...hack off the stem, cut the cap into pizza slices, and watch the slices/stem grow into new shrooms in low...

I picked this up for $45 from a local reefer tearing down his tanks to move. He called it a hairy mushroom, but i wanted another opinion. Did i get screwed? When full extended its about 12 inches across, and it has little white tentacles that come from what appears to be a mouth.

I got some of these on a piece of rock i traded for with a Local Reefer. They are no bigger than a pencil eraser, but do put out sweeper tentacles. The rock has skeletons from where a colony these, but most didnt fair well in the guys tank due to inadequate light im guessing.

I have upgraded from multiple small to 2 large tanks, and find myself with extra fixtures. 1) K2-JBJ 250 Works well, fan works, Lost the Moonlight led power supply when i moved. 5mo bulb 14k. It all works well, i just dont have a tank it can go over. 2) Lumen Arc3 Polished reflector...

Summer this year I setup a 75g, but in October, I was offered a job I couldn't refuse. I moved from Middle of Gods nowhere in the north panhandle, somewhere between Lost and where are we, To Lubbock Texas The beginning of November. As many of you know, moving in November is a BAD idea, but If...

Back in July of 2013, i made the Journey to visit a Forum Sponsor...JJmoneyman of MyReeftoYours.com. He hooked me up with a 75g RR Tank and stand. He tossed in a 29g for a sump, and a 6x48" T5ho fixture he'd been using to catch dust with. I worked a weekend in his coral farm and sweat shop...

OK Jist of the story is, i've been looking at setting up a Bigger tank in my living room, as the 65g just wasnt "Doing" it for me anymore. I have this Lovely 8' long wall space, and a 3' wide tank...the math seemed wrong to me. So i started looking into a bigger tank. I Bought a 125g, drilled...

my 12 yr old son has become captivated with my SW tanks. He's begging(literally) for one in his room. Im thinking of a nice 29g cube, or JBJ...my only issue is, he wants a mantis. I showed him a video of one, and he's been inthralled with the idea of keeping one. If anyone comes across one...

Time to step up from storebought RO/DI water to a system at home. Is BRS 4 Stage Value PLUS RO/DI System - 75GPD - Bulk Reef Supply Worth spending money on? Will the water quality be good enough>?

I found a small piece of green grape Caulerpa in the sump of my 55g system a few months ago. I didnt think much of it at the time. But now, its turned into a full blown infestation in the sump. Does anyone need/want some of it. Otherwise im going to rip it all out and throw it in the trash.
