'Burning' and fish on bottom of the tank? Check your heater.

Bah! I feel like a jerk for not checking back on this thread. Sorry for the delay. Check out this 12 LED retrofit kit if you want to ease into LEDs. 12 Ultra Premium LED Do-It-Yourself Retrofit Kit This kit would be more than enough for a 40 Breeder: 24 Ultra Premium LED Do-It-Yourself Retrofit...

Lights are now suspended.

The lights are in. This is a diy kit from RapidLED.com. They are an awesome group that have great deals. Added a floating shelf and more of my artwork. Now with more shimmer!

I think you guys should read the actual study before dismissing it as fodder. And yes, the study is on cichlids, but are they that much different than a damsel or basslet? Their behavior patterns are very similar. While the article may be slanted to sensationalism, the study is not. Below is a...

These are not bristle worms(at least the ones we are accustomed to seeing), that's for sure. The long antenna off the head, the eyes, and most certainly the speed through the water tell me it is something else. Looking back through your posts, it appears you have made your tank by picking...

First, think about the types of corals you really want to keep. Anything that has a high demand for lighting would not fare well under either of these setups. If you wanted to keep softies (or any other types of corals that are non-photosynthetic) you could keep them, but you would have to cater...

Home fish tanks and aquariums may at first appear to be tranquil environments, but look closely and you might see a glaring goldfish or a ticked off tetra. A new study has found that ornamental fish across the U.S. -- all 182.9 million of them -- are at risk of becoming aggressive due to...

That's one way. I have applied Superglue in the tank with success. The glue solidifies almost instantly. How big is the rock? Take the whole rock out and place it in a quarantine tank or a bucket of saltwater. Try applying the glue in or out of the bucket, whichever is easier. If you take it...

How new is your fish? It looks almost like a bacterial infection. Keem 'em in the Q and try an antibacterial fish food (Gel Tec maybe). Infectious Disease

Thanks Travis. Glad to see you are still here!

Thanks guys. The painting is one of my own. I decided to take the door off of the cabinet and cover it with this. I will more than likely paint another to replace it.

Hello once again RS! After a six year hiatus (traveling nearly 100% for business) I have once again started up my 40g breeder. This is the same tank and stand I used with my first reef tank many moons ago. It's great to be back and to see all my old RS friends! Tank Goals My objective for this...

Cure reef keeps getting better and better. Today I added some coral to the background reef. I don't think I will add any more detail to the back reef. I feel if I put too much in the distance it will take away from the foreground. The way I see it, your focus should be on the main object...

I have just finished painting the water column, sand bottom and pink ribbon for the Cure Reef project. I started with Cerulean Blue mixed with a little Titanium White to create the rays of light penetrating the sea. I also mixed in a little Cobalt Blue to start the foundation for the reef...

I know it has been a while since I have visited the forum, but I wanted to share this blog with my online family. Gina, Wit, Kim and Travis, if you are still out there, I would love to hear what you have to say! This week in the studio has been one that has kept me on edge. I recently found...

Awww shucks guys! Thanks for remembering me after all this time! Christopher

Boomer = The Man. His knowledge is worth its weight in gold so I would default to experience. And if you frequent other boards, then you already know Boomer...

Thanks, booseman! I have a few more things on the canvas for next year so keep checking back!
