    Shout out to the "Diesel" man

    Any of you who have been around long enough have seen some of his generous offerings of help to total strangers at times. He has also posted many informative articles, along with donating items to the club and raffles. I recently purchased some frags from him, but my tank was "sick" at the time...

    Anyone here rebuild tanks? Story inside

    So I found my dream tank this week. Picked it up today. 40x36x18. Gorgeous. Anyway long story short, put it in my bed thinking it would be a smoother ride than my bumpy trailer. Have bed liner from factory and neglected to notice the bolts in the bed. Well I saw them but figured they were lower...

    Anyone here assemble tanks???

    Found someone who had glass cut to make a nice frag tank and selling for reasonable price. Problem is, I have never assembled a tank, and i'm sure not going to try it on one of this size. My wife would surely throw out all my stuff if it came apart or leaked. Anyone have good experience doing...

    Anyone know where to find one, and/or a replacement that will work with this skimmer. It was working like a champ. Turned it off after I installed a felt filter sock which promptly drove it nuts.

    Any local stores sell T5 fixtures???

    So i am looking for a 48" T5 8 bulb fixture. I like to see and touch things before I lay out the cash. Do any of the local stores carry fixtures at a reasonable price (as compared to ordering them that is). Also, recommendations on brands? I looked for the TEK fixtures online but all i have been...

    Questions on rock

    So, I recently purchased a small 58 gallon system thinking it would be enough. Well it was not and now I am the proud owner of a 200gallon deep dimension tank. With that being said, I will need additional rock. The tank i purchased had quite a bit of bubble algae. During the move of the tank...
