I voted for "Substrates" because I seen a few threads where some individuals are removing their DSBs and I would like to know why that is.

Good Luck;

I'm new here so I don't know if this has been covered or not...
After looking at the photos from the photo contest, I'd like to see a DOW on how to get the best shots with a digital camera... it's something that I think we 'all' can benefit from (since even those folks without a digital camera will have nicer pictures to look at from others).

I also like the 'Reef Safe' fishes idea (good one Johnny!)... especially since I had to do a complete tank teardown one time to remove a Pearlscale Butterfly that I was told would be fine in my reef (that LFS has never seen me again either)... the dang thing was torturing every coral in the tank, especially my zoanthids.
Ah well... live and learn.

LOL!
Leave it to me to suggest a DOW when there's an entire Forum dedicated to it...
Looks like I should open my eyes a bit... (as an excuse I was only on my second cup of coffee for the day when I posted that).

Thanks Craig... you earned Karma for that one...

You know I would like to know what corals can not me mixed in your tank with other corals. That way if I see something nice I know it will live with the rest of my tank.

DIY .... Circulation!

i'm working on a future closed loop now ... and really want to know how others have done it [or found other circulation methods] ... and what `too much flow' would be

I voted for the skimmers !

I have a DIY skimmer that’s too small for my now larger tank. I’m trying to decide between re-working it to make a larger 5’ DIY skimmer or just get a store bought unit. This one from Precision Marine caught my eye!

Cos, how come I can't vote, now that it's a new topic?

I think we need some new topics, too
or maybe just specialized areas of the topics listed?
Fish aggression?
Coral aggression?
Clown breeding?
Coral diseases?
Acclimatization of corals?
The controversy over feeding photosynthetic corals?
Different substrate strategys?
Emergency strategies? (DSB crashes, High Phosphates, power outtages,...)
???
