As mentioned above, anything you find at the beach is happy and healthy in much cooler waters than the average aquarium. You are asking for problems with hitch-hikers, the crabs would be unknown potentially harmful species, and there is a very good chance you could be bringing in bacteria that...

If you feed your fish coco-pods they get all hopped up on the sugar for a while and then crash and want to watch TV... where they advertise that kind of stuff. Seriously though, I wish I had a fuge, I'm planning to have one as part of my next big upgrade. More water volume is always good for...

:21: Welcome to the forum, good luck with the reef buildup. This is a great place to ask questions and you can probably find some members near you that might be willing to help if you need it.

This reminds me of a house my wife and I looked at; apparently the previous owners didn't bother to pickup the rather large pumpkin that was in a covered porch as they were leaving. By the time we looked at it ... IN JULY! It was a nasty fly attracting stinking pile of slime. We didn't get the...

:21: Enjoy your stay.

Doesn't your drain line empty out once the return pump is off? Most of the water would probably drain right out and leave the sterilizer relatively dry; you could make it with something like a goose neck (sink trap) but even then you may get a siphon going that would suck out the water (like a...

I lost a tube worm feather duster for a few months, then I found him in the back behind everything happy and healthy.

Just a thought, but it seams like it would be safer to run it on the return just in case it ever plugs up or restricts flow. If you ran your tank near the top and the drain line was plugged would your display be able to hold the extra water from your sump?

I've heard that they can be aggressive to other tankmates, I'd be careful with it.

welcomepic Keep us updated on your rather large buildup.

That makes a lot more sense; I was wondering what monstrosity you would be building if you weren't "broke". I guess this is really your budget-build, not your broke starving student build. As a side note, Top Ramen is ~$.12 and constitutes a meal, if you eat that for one or two meals a day...

That stand looks really good, and considering what it looked like in the first pic... NICE JOB! Keep up the good work and thanks for the updates. Sorry if I'm hijacking a thread but I've gotta see a $2 skimmer. I'm planning to make one out of a 5 gallon water jug, plumbing from Lowe's and...

I'll give you a bump to clarify that this skimmer is probably 30 inches (not feet) tall. Although, if you had a 30 foot skimmer I'd like to see pics.

Wow, that skimmate looks vile, how long did that take to collect?

RO = Reverse Osmosis, DI = De-Ionized. The basic difference is that water goes through the RO filter and then a carbon/resin DI filter at the end.

He won a contest... as stated in the first post.

Just a thought, if you want the shallower one for ease of use you could get the deeper one and add an extra 4 inches of sand to compensate. If you change your mind later you could always remove the sand.

Welcome I guess I'll be the first to ask... What kind of setup do you have and how long have you had it?

Look on the bright side, if it changes back the shirts suddenly become limited editions. Like baseball cards from players who have died... doubling, maybe even tripling their resale value (from $0 to $0).

I don't think those are what the admin's want to see. I'm a relatively new member and I'm not in Southern California, I probably wouldn't have joined if it was socalireef. Whatever you decide is fine with me but you will be alienating a lot of your newer members if you change it back. Could...
