    DIY LED Pendant Advice

    I'm going to try DIY LED again, but this time go beyond the 50/50 RB/CW setup I did before. This will be going over my DSA Neo Nano(link in sig). The tank is 24"x24"x13" tall. My lighting shroud/canopy will make the pendant hang at between 13-14" over the water surface. I found an 8.46"...

    250w DE Metal Halide Bulb - No Actinic Supplementation

    Trying to figure out which bulb to get before I go spending money on several to try. I'm currently running a 250w phoenix 14k de on on a lumatek adjustable ballast. I get a nice white light with a very subtle blue tint, but I don't get much if any actinic pop. It would be a pain to setup actinic...

    DSA Neo Nano Plumbing Advice

    Anyone have any experience with plumbing a neo nano? Trying to figure out what's going to be the most quiet. I ordered 2 eshopps flex hoses to drain from the overflows. I was thinking about connecting them to the bulkheads in the back wall with 90's to the sump. Then using a 90 in the overflow...

    Getting back into things... - DSA Neo Nano Build

    Decided to get back into reefing a little. Tired of the jbj 12g so I'm moving to a 34g DSA Neo Nano. Still have most of the equipment/supplies and plenty of rough wood so I won't have to buy much. Just got done with the stand design in sketchup, about to begin construction.

    Job Opportunity - Medium to Low Pay

    The company I work for is looking for someone to do inspection reports for cranes. Would be a good job for someone right out of high school or someone willing to accept the pay. Only really requirements would be proficient computer use and having at least some common sense. The job will probably...

    Frags and More - Problem

    Had an issue with Don at Frags and More that I thought belongs here. I picked up a bottle of Reef Nutrition Oyster Feast Tuesday evening. I noticed it looked like the "best by" date had been rubbed off. Don assured me he got the order in about a month prior straight from the manufacturer. I've...

    Used 250w DE Metal Halide Bulbs

    Anyone not too far away have any used 250w double ended bulbs they want to get rid of? I'm wanting to try some different bulbs and I'm getting tired of buying them to find out if I like them or not. Running a single Ushio 14k right now and it overpowers my VHO actinics!

    Regal Angel

    So I've been doing some research for fish to put in my 90g, after ruling out pretty much all tangs I came across the regal angel. I know what the risks are and how difficult it is to keep, but does anyone have any personal experience with them? Did they eat any corals and if so which? How long...

    Pics of your DAP Tanks...

    Anyone got any pics of their DAP tanks? Wanted to get an idea of how they're built and what the quality is. I'm about to go ahead and order a 90g with starphire. Also, how long did it take your tank to come in?

    Stocking Display Fuge?

    Anyone got any ideas for stocking a display fuge? Nothing that will eat pods as that is one of the main purposes of this fuge. I was thinking rubble rock, micro brittle stars, maybe some cool sponges, etc... It's going to be the fuge in this setup...

    90g Rebuild - Custom Stand

    So as some of you know, I took my 90 down because I was tired dealing with invasive caulerpa, zoa eating asterinas, etc... I decided to build a nice strong 2x4 stand and incorporate a display refugium next to the tank. Going to build the refugium and custom sump out of acrylic. Decided to skin...

    Hard Maple Locally - Best Price?

    Has anyone bought any "Hard Rock Maple" locally? I'm trying to find the best place/price on 80' of 1x6. Slone near me will sell it by the foot where the other places only sell it in 9' boards(I need 8' boards to minimize waste). They are wanting 3.28/ft.
