    New home, new build!

    So all is going well and I can't believe how fast things are growing bases. I've had many systems in the past, this is my first time going way overkill with a Skimmer and using LED's. So I'm not sure if it's the combo or one better than the other. But I can say that within a week I notice new...

    Glueing Stuff

    I guess me and jgraz do it the same way. Lol guess that's the proven method there. I guess I'm not the only one who hates loosing a $200 frag behind the rocks Bc the glue didn't hold. Lol

    Glueing Stuff

    I use the epoxy from PETCO or petsmart, the cheap stuff. The trick is to use small amounts at a time then break them into 3 or 4 small balls ready to go. Then what I do to ensure a hold while it cures. I us a drop of IC-gel on the spot where I stick the frag and then another drop on the opposite...

    Water to clean or lights to bright?

    A little dirt is good. Lol. Meaning I like to see something on my nitrates and I like to see po4 actually between 0.04-0.08 I've had the best coloration. You start to border the ULNS when you have zero's across the board and it Continues in that pattern for a long time. Zooanthelae will start to...

    Thanks man, it was a lot of trial and error and a lot of epoxy to make the shapes I wanted. I hate the piled up rock look. And when the rock takes up all the room in the tank and leaves no room for fish or for the coral to actually grow out.

    Yea lol it definitely was. Now you know y I stayed with this tank instead of trying to make the 92 fit. It would have stuck out about an inch past the hall door. I even have enough room with his tank to fit he mp10 dry side on the outer edge. I have an mp40 in the back wall facing out. I was...

    These are my clowns that are in qT now. They're called mocha frostbite. Only me and one other guy has them. They came from a breeder in Florida who only had 6 of this pattern. So I got 3 and he got 3. The rest showed other traits. The parents are true Darwin (f) and S.A. Frostbite (m) pic of...

    I used up all he real estate available. I even notched the reactor base to fit the angle of the corner so it would fit I side the cabinet. When I had my 92g I was able to custom make a 54g into a sump with a huge fuge and had lots of room for my reactors. And what didn't fit like my dosers and...

    So now it's cycling, I have my qt system in the basement for both fish and coral. I aquired a 55g deep blue double vision tank which I'll be using for my fish qt on one side and my photon/nebula clown pair home on the other. I'm also using a deep blue 30g rimless for my coral qt. I'm using a 6...

    I also had to drill the tank (and yes I had a post asking for help) but I maned up and bought good glass bits, modeling clay and got er done. I used the H2Overflow kit which was featured on reef builders. Great kit by the way. With syphon break returns. After installing that and running all my...

    So the second step now was to figure out how I'm going to filter this bad boy and what will fit in the stand. So I went with a 20g tank, added baffles and making sure I didn't waste an inch of real estate inside the stand. So I had to notch the stand to let the tank sit back far enough for the...
