Sounds like a huge project (I'm setting up a 360g right now, and that's been quite a bit of work). What kind of system is it going to be? Mainly SPS, LPS, Softies? Not trying to bash at all, but I think you could save your parents some juice if you consider some options: - Switch to 250w 10k...

Not off the top of my head, but I did see a Remora for sale on RC that someone had cut the original outlet off and put a larger one in its place. Of course you have to have a little DIY skill, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

Is it PGS that you heard is facing a lawsuit? Doesn't sound right, as far as I know Daniel at PGS owns the patent rights. I know of at least one other large company who appeared to be blatantly producing identical knockoff's (with a similar name). I had heard some rumors regarding that... but I...

Didn't a well known LFS in Sacramento have a large GC glass tank fail on them not too long ago? I don't want to mention the LFS by name just wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about. When I was looking for a custom made large tank I heard nothing but horror stories about almost ALL of...

Wow, I think I could have done a better job than that! I can't believe they let something like that out the door, no pride of craftsmanship at all. If you decide to have someone else build a tank for you Envision Acrylic is very professional and custom jobs are their specialty. You can get in...

I'd vote for the C. rubrisquamis. In fact I'm a fan of most fairy wrasses, they're just cool fish :) Mine love to watch me, mainly waiting to see if it's chow time yet. Mystery wrasses are nice to look at, at least until they get really big (IMO), seems like they have a mean streak though...

Thanks guys. I just found a large thread on RC regarding the Bartlett's changing sexes, I think everybody who posted had the same thing happen... so I'm staying away from Bartletts. I like the Bimacs too. It'll probably come down to them or Dispars... and what price I can get them for. Carberryi...

I've been doing nothing but building up a big pile of equipment at my house for my new tank, the more I look at it the more bummed out I get that the tank probably won't be set up until winter.... I need to think about something else to keep me motivated, like what fish I'm going to stock it...

I'm still learning myself. This is probably real basic but I have found through trial and error to get ok results: - Tripod is a must, use 1 or 2 second delay to avoid camera shake when snapping a shot - Use lower intensity setting on flash if you can (assuming you're not using a storbe or...

Nice shots of your golden angel. We have had ours for a few weeks now and she is my favorite fish. Somewhat shy she is out in the open about 50% of the time, unless food is in the water then she is all over it! Oddly enough her and our bicolor blenny hang out together alot, I'd really like to...

I've been on Reef Central for about a year, figured it was about time to start checking out some other sites. My wife and I have only had our 75g set up for ~6 mos now. We have a few zoo's, rics, and mushrooms. Nothing too fancy yet :)... anyway I just wanted to say "hi".
