    Reefkeeper lite

    I will be saving up for a reefkeeper lite plus system for my next build, and i was wondering about the timers. Is it possible to have a timer set for an outlet, but have it disabled until it needs to be used? The plan was to have a 175 watt halide hung over a frag tank, but i would not need the...

The stand would be nearly identical to the stand build by Mike13oy in his thread...

    home creepshow sand

    does anyone know if one of the local home depot stores carries aragonite basid sand? I have researched that they carry or have carried 50lb bags of oolitic aragonite play sand for use in sandboxes for kids with allergies. These bags were priced between 3 and 8 dollars per bag.

    Loss of life :(

    Well, the other day, I moved back home from college for the summer and set up my aquarium again at home. All rock was kept in a 5 gallon bucket with water, heater, and circulation. And livestock was kept in a bucket with an airstone in the water. All stock made the trip home safely (Galveston to...

    Would have been a sad day

    But I found 2 of your tanks at Praseks Hillje Smokehouse on 59 south towards Victoria. I just wanted to say that these were 2 beautiful tanks. What size are these tanks? And what type of sand did you use for them?

    Interesting idea

    I'm thinking about setting up a 40br frag/prop tank. I was pondering the idea of placing a mirror on the bottom of the tank to reflect more light through the tank. I understand that there could be no fish due to fighting with the reflections, but could this be beneficial to corals?

    Carpet anemone

    Would it be possible to keep a carpet anemone under compact fluorescent lights? Such as 3 or 4 coralife screw in bulbs with individual reflectors. The tank is fairly shallow.

    Clownfish hosting

    What are some corals that a clownfish would host? I am nervous to put an anemone in my tank because it is only ~17 gallons of water volume and I am afraid that it would die if my salinity moved around a little.
