    Subliminal's FOWLR 90 Gallon Build...

    Ok, so figured I'd post up my build, as it progresses. Found a deal online for a $150 Oceanic 90 gallon bowfront with two (semi-complete) sumps, and Coralife T5 hood. stand, yadda yadda. On the way home I stopped by Ocean Gallery, where I made questionable purchasing choices and left with $340...

    Noisy Sump...lots of air...suggestions?

    So this is my first time having a sump setup on a tank, and it is a little noisier than I'd like. It seems the overflow is pulling a lot of air down through...so in the sump it's like a kid blowing bubbles in his drink with a straw. Here is the setup in the tank: ...and here is a quick...

    Good inexpensive circulation pump?

    Hey everyone, I have this 90 gallon I'm setting up with 60 lbs of sand, and ~50 lbs of rock, and thinking its going to be a FOWL...maybe a puffer or trigger or something...not sure yet, just have enough going on with my lil guy and the coral. I have the overflow to a sump, but I feel like it...

    Need some sump advice

    So I found a deal I couldn't pass on for a 90 gallon tank, which has an overflow and both the stand and tank are ready for a sump....I've never had a tank with a sump before. I had to drop off the previous owners fish to Ocean Gallery or somesuch, as I couldn't take them right now, and I had...

    Looks like I'm getting a 90 gallon this weekend...

    Found a Facebook deal that was just too good to be true...but it's true. :) This one I think I'm going to start from scratch and take it slow...or at least that is my plan. Get some sand in a bag, some dry rock, drop in some Dr. Tims and a shrimp or something, and just wait for a while. :)

    Need emergency brook help!

    Long story short, I saved a clown and he’s got brook as of this am. Seemed fine yesterday. I have a quarantine tank set up and heating up and he’s in a freshwater bath right now. I know I need to get some medicine but not sure what or where. I’m in central jersey. Help?!

    My first SPS corals. Two look very happy...one has no polyp extension

    Hey ya'll. I recently picked up a few frags from local reefers, and had a question. If you look at the picture below, you can see the green slimer has polyp extension for days. It stays like that 24/7. The green goblin in the background also looks happy, with its polyps out. The blue acro...

    I know its old school, and not around all that much anymore...and can be a pest. But i love this stuff

    Was able to finally get some Xenia for my tank. I love this stuff. I know it's right up there with palys and GSP as a tank pest, but it is so nice to watch it wave and pulse. Wow...none of the media selections/uploads worked for me. Anyway, put it on Youtube. :)

    Want to trade a few softy related things.

    So I have three things that my tank is too small for. First is a Kenya tree. It’s usually bigger but it was trying to attach to my rocks so I moved it down to the sand. Next is some clove polyps. I think that’s what they’re called. Kind of cool. Glowing sections on each: last is a baseball...

    WTB: Peppermint Shrimp

    Anyone know where a guy can find some peppermint shrimp? Online they're super cheap, but then need to be shipped...locally nobody seems to have any (at least that I know of). Thanks! Damon

    Petco free same day delivery

    Not sure if everyone knows about this, but Petco has partnered with Doordash for same day delivery. I don't believe that there is any minimum, either. Yesterday I ordered a bag of salt and a refractometer and they came from two different stores via 2 different dashers. Good for in a pinch...

    Inexpensive and awesome live rock

    I just grabbed some rock from this guy who has a few hundred lbs of live rock and a ton of dry rock for sale at a great price. He's in Cranbury, so VERY central. If you're looking for some rock, I'd look him up...

    Subliminal's Fluval Evo 13.5 Build

    Well...it's been about 15 years since I last had a reef in my house. That was a 29 gallon number that...well, it got away from me. Anyway, it was sucking up an hour or more a day of pure maintenance. And then, like so many before (and probably after) me, I went away for a few days and...

    Free: ~6 lbs of small, dry pieces of Marco rock

    Anyone interested? I spent about 8,000 hrs gluing some of this into an arch for my tank, and have about 6 lbs left.

    Question: Does anyone use halides anymore?

    ...or is the increase in technology around LED and the power savings made the switch worthwhile?

    WTB: Live Rock

    Hey all, been a few years since I had a saltwater tank, but just threw my hat back into the ring with a Fruval Evo 13.5. I'd like a few chunks of live rock with some worms or whatever...just some life, to really kickstart things in the tank. My eventual goal is a BTA and a few clown fish and...

    Can someone post a Rose-tipped Milli Pic?

    Hey guys, My corals had browned out over the last...well, for a while now, and one in particular was brown when i bought it. Was hoping someone could post a picture, so's I can see what one looks like when it isn't quite...so brown. Thanks! damon

    Aquatic Obsessions FTW!

    I was in AO yesterday to buy a fish. Lately, I've been poking around the stores, looking to see what I could put in my tank, but I'd been deeply dissapointed by the state of the stores in NJ, and also by the low level of customer service I'd been getting. But yesterday, I made it into AO right...
