Avast skimmer
Dave I read your glue joke and figured that if you weren't willing to try it, then I'm not likely to be able to do it. I'm not a DIYer. Heck Im still working on the phosphate reactor and after that it's the osmolator and then the ozone. So many pi...

Avast skimmer
I did watch the video and read the build manual twice. Quite frankly, it doesn't seem that hard, but that is exactly what troubles me. My dad gets a bit upset as I am considered the family psns -- project starter no skills. The husband let me get ...

Avast skimmer
I currently have a 65 g with 30-35g sump, but I have a 76g rimless project with what looks to be a similar sized sump (I've never measured it to be honest) that I was dumb enough to think I could figure out. Anyway, I've been thinking about getting ...

WTB Firefish goby
That's a pretty nice looking fish. I will keep it in mind, if I can ever get to that point. I'm assuming you don't mind if I copy? Please post a pic of yours when he's adjusted.
The coral beauty is nice too. That's my dads favorite.

The ones I saw were still more white than that one that you posted and a bi thinner. That one is gorgeous!!! So, yes please, get one like that!!!! I read that they were loners, I think, i.e. could not have a pair in my 65g, but that may be incorre...

Get the pink and purple filefish and post lots of pictures, so I can live vicariously. Trilbys had some about a year ago. I visited them 3-4 times. Never bought them as I have water issues yet. I can't remember their names something like helfric...

sump bulild
I'm not an equipment guru, but I would strongly urge you to do more research on the skimmer. There may be a review on the forum, if not, take a quick google search. I think you will see that most skimmer numbers are overrated, I.e. the gallons the ...

Sorry bout the ankles guys! I'm pretty clumsy myself and can fully relate as my momma didnt name me Grace.
For the challenge, it sure sounds like a way to get the spouse to pay for a winter getaway to a warm climate, maybe include a day at the sp...

Aquarium Christmas Gift List...
Well, I am not an expert, but my sister has some kind of nem (I'll admit all I can remember is that its been lime green for the last ten years and I like to feed it!). However, the only time that thing has ever moved was when she "adjusted" the powe...

OT: what to look for when buying a new tv
This topic is a year too late for me, although I admit, there is already too much info. in this thread!
I'd only say that our electric bill is about $70 in the winter, which I attribute to the tank with its 500+ watt light and the television. The b...

OT: what to look for when buying a new tv
Went through this last year for my hubby, who wants a really nice tv, but doesn't want to learn anything about them. I eventually think I learned this:
the MHZ number is key to avoiding blur on sporting events. Plasmas all come with 600 mhz standa...

Return pump question
No, I'm not sure I did the calculations right. However, I went back and looked again. I couldn't find oceanrunner 3500 pump on the reefcentral head loss calculator, so I thought I used Eheim 1262 as they both had 900 gph. Apparently, the calculator...

Return pump question
Trying to finish a project so I could water test before winter. I have a 36 x 24 x 18 (76 gal). It has a 1.5" drain and two 1" returns. I wrote down that I was supposed to get an oceanrunner 3500 as a return pump. However, I'm thinking it should ...

Reef Safe With Caution - Blue Head Wrasse
Okay, I don't like the answer, but its why I asked. We have visited him twice and really wanted to bring him home. I had a bigger tank to put him in, which has been a project for the last year. I was hoping it was like Angelfish, which I unders...

Reef Safe With Caution - Blue Head Wrasse
What exactly does reef safe with caution mean? In my mind, it means keep it fed or its going to eat something you don't want it to. Is that right? Or does it mean, will eat what you don't want it to, sometimes depending on the particular fish? Or d...
