  1. New Tank Design Help

    Cool Ranger, any clever ideas to share? The reason I want to go metal on the stand is to keep the stand support profile as small as posible without compromising strength and eliminating the need for centre upright bracing (I hope that made sense). Cheers Mike
  2. New Tank Design Help

    Hi All I'm not sure that this is the correct forum, but I'm sure that the thread will get moved accordingly. I'm looking to build a new tank, all glass, and was leaning towards a cube between 36x36x30 and 48x48x30. The tank would probably stand in a corner so I'd only be able to access it from...
  3. Ultimate 5.5

    Very neat. You got any more pics?
  4. AfAqua's Nano build-off public thread

    Hey Guy, your setup is looking really good. This was my first attempt at making rocks. Five parts shingle to one part cement. No sand. It's extremely porous. Only problem is that I'm gonna be playing catch-up wrt coralline growth, but I think the learning gained is worth it. BTW I can't...
  5. buildoff participants we need your photos

  6. AfAqua's Nano build-off public thread

    Hey Guy, no creek/river/stream really close. I thought about putting them in the sea for a while. :idea: Apart from curing really fast, it’ll also encourage coralline growth. Only problem is that I'm not sure if I'll inherit any nasties. I think I'll pursue that line of attack. :D...

    Hey Sally Thanks for the response. That was kinda close! I thought about the toilet cistern, but the wife chucks those little colored blocks in there and I'm not sure that blue rock would be aesthetically pleasing. Cheers Mike
  8. AfAqua's Nano build-off public thread

  9. International shipping

  10. Phsyco Hermit

    I'm thinking he might look good in a bottle of formaldihyde.
  11. Phsyco Hermit

    Is this usual? Will the whole %#!*(%$ lot do it? Or is he just a renegade? So many questions, but this really freaks me out. Whats gonna be next?
  12. Phsyco Hermit

    Hi Guys Anyone had a Blue Legged hermit with an apetite for Featherduster worms? One of mine just snacked on a featherduster. Mmmm, so much for reef friendly.
  13. Feeding lettuce tip

    I'm always hesitant to leave magnet in my tank for an extended period as I had one that left a nasty rust mark once . I feed lettuce attached with an elastic band to a small rock.
