Out with the old to make room for the new!
Here is the good, the bad and the ugly.
Good: Free Deep Blue 120 tank!
Bad: Top trim needs to be replaced. I have one on order, just waiting for it to come in. I'll include it with the tank.
Ugly: 4" scratch on front glass and a few other light...
So I want to tie my tank into the room behind it and move the sump/skimmer in there and add a refugium and frag tank in that room also.
The tank has two 1" drains and I want to combine them into one to minimize the plumbing I have to run to the room behind it. I believe the math for plumbing is...
Selling my Deep Blue 120 tank. There are a few scratches on the front glass so it is not display worthy but it would be good for a large fish QT tank. Back glass is painted black - $120
Also selling my Reef Octopus XS-160 skimmer.
2 years old, rated for tank sizes 100 to 150 gallons. Has a...
The Jedi might have been knocked down in the last round but he is not out!
The poll for this round will be open for one week.
This time the Jedi faces off against another Monti, the Tyree Aequituberculata.
Blue Corner: Jedi Mind Trick
Red Corner: Tyree Aequituberculata
Place your bets and...
Finally got to put this trick to use!
Use the strainer from a Maxi-Jet over the flow tube when adding Bio Pellets or Carbon to a TLF media reactor.
Anyone else have any little tips or tricks like this to making reefing a little easier?
Same rules still apply from the first round.
In the Blue Corner we have: The Jedi Mind Trick Monti
In the Red Corner we have: The Green Hammer
Let the Fight begin!
DING!
:nervous
Taking a page from Sunny's book, I've decided to start a contest of my own.
This contest will put corals against corals in the ultimate death match! Over the last 5 years of being in the hobby, I've seen a few battles play out in my tank. There is only one winner in a coral war and it is up...
So who is going to MACNA this year?
Hotel is booked and tickets are purchased. I couldn't pass up a chance to go to Florida and I will be following it with a week on Sanibel Island! Dance
I still need to figure out airfare and car rental. :p
I have to relocate my 65g tank Monday (12/31) and need some buckets with lids to relocate livestock. If anyone in the Stirling area 07980 (near Ocean Gallery) has some buckets I can borrow, please let me know.
I'm looking for a 150G stock tank, if you have one I can borrow for a few weeks. If you have one your looking to sell, that would be good too, let me know how much.
I have a Tale thread but want to use this as a brain storming thread to collect my thoughts.
I have a 40B I will use for the sump and I will need to get glass cut for baffles. I should have about 25 gallons in the sump.
I just so happen to have a RO XS-160 on my 65 now. Gee this wasn't...
Well, yesterday I placed an order for a Deep Blue 120G reef ready tank.
I will be closing on a home in November and figured it would be best to have a tank setup and running at the house for a few weeks before I move livestock to minimize loss. It is also a good opportunity to upgrade to a...
Casino still closed after 13,000 gallon aquarium bursts. All of the fish survive!

... you ignore the tank for two days and then spend 2-1/2 days in the hospital while your wife has a baby, and when you come home, everything looks like you never left.
I love automation!!! :D
Last weekend, I moved the 65G from the office (second bedroom, soon to be baby room), out to the living room. Here is a quick recap.
I started by hanging the light where the tank was going.
I put my reef plates and fish in a 20L right next to the tank on the floor:
My main rock structure and...
I wasn't happy with the lighting control on my outer orbit fixture so I decided to dig in and make some modifications.
Stock setup had:
One cord & switch for the 4 T-5's
One cord & switch for the 2 MH's
One cord & switch for the White LEDs
One cord & switch for the Blue LEDs
I wanted to get...
