I stopped by the lfwis (local fish with ich store) today on my way home from lunch to do a little browsing, and the first fish i noticed was a 2 inch powder brown with ich REAL bad. I felt awful, and the sticker said $49. So, I asked the owner what his plan was, and yadda yadda, he sold it to...

Do metal halide bulbs break in or anything? I was really expecting my tank to be a lot brighter with the 175watter in there. I mean, it's not dim by any means...just not as bright as expected. And not as blue as I'd hoped. Hamilton Tech Magnetic 175w ballast 14k Hamilton bulb PFO parabolic...

Hey guys, I recently decided to give halides a shot, and got such a good deal on a ballast that I'm going to build a hood. But...I have some questions. First I'll outline my (tentative plans) I'm planing on making the thing out of wood. I have some pine left over from my entertainment stand...

Hey kids, I decided I'd like to replace the unknown age bulbs in my Hamilton hood, which consists of 4x german-pinned 55w CF bulbs. The cheapest I found is straight from Hamilton, for $25 each, with another $10ish for shipping. That's $110 for just bulbs, which will last what...6 months? So...

Hey guys, Upon reading some of your experience with these guy's RO/DI units, I purchased on on a buy it now auction on ebay. I bought the ro/2di unit. Well, when i got it in the mail, they sent me the wrong one. They sent me a more expensive unit with a holding tank and a faucet. Well, I...

Hey guys, I'm interested in an ATO setup. Was wondering if the $40 special from aquahub would do me right? I have no problem putting the system together, as i'm pretty good w/ plumbing and electrical. Anyway, just wondering if anyone had any experience. THANKS! damon

Ha. Ok, that was funny. Here's some pictures of the new guys I picked up today..at least those who'd let me take their pictures (notice no shrimp pic yet ;)). This guy is just plain busy. He started grabbing any kind of algae he could and shoving it in his face: Always wanted one of these...

Hey Guys, Carlo turned me on to this place a while back... Today, I left work early to head to The Hidden Reef in PA. However, the weather was terrible, and the turnpike was rolling slooooow. So, I called Allquatics while I was sitting in traffic. I wanted to get some 'verts, and an emerald...

My tank is doing so good, I can’t help but keep taking pictures. Some of the ones I did today turned out great, so I wanted to share: These guys are so hard to get a good picture of with my point and shoot. My guess is the sand is so bright that the camera processing makes them dark. Xenia...

When I left it looked like this: Whoa.

So I was feeding my anemone today and my shrimp wanted part of the action. So I gave one a piece of silverside, and the other came running, so I gave him one too. Then I looked around to see if anything else would eat something and I saw Mr. Hairy Green Mushroom looking all plump. So, I gave...

Hey guys, I picked up an aquafuge yesterday for my 29g. The guy hooked me up with a bunch of chaeto, too. I have a pretty deep sand bed in the tank, so I'm not worried about the small amount of sand I could put in the fuge. Even though it's a relatively big device, it's not even comparable to...

Hamilton Power Compacts in 24"x12"x4" Black ABS Enclosure 4x55W Brand New Bulbs (2x 6700K, 2xBlue) Polished Aluminum reflector Fan Fitted acyrlic UV filter/condensation cover Brand new bulbs (even though I'd rather see 10k and actinics) $85 Sound like a good deal?

Hey guys, I have a question for ya: Is there any macro algae that would be easy to keep in my display tank, behind my reef wall, and wouldn't choke out everything in the tank? Thanks, damon

Hey guys, I have a heater question. I'm on my second heater on my 55g. This one is starting to do exactly what the first one did. I have the dial set to about 72 degrees. My tank was at 84 this morning and the heater was still on. I can thump it with my finger and it turns off, but then it...
