  1. Chip's 90-gallon build thread!

    Yeah buddy!!!! Me too homie! I'm so pumped. I bought all my equipment. I'm just waiting for the time (like I'll ever get it) to hook it up. I'm going to have my sump in the basement and i have to knock walls down so it's going to be a little more extensive, but i'm excited just the same...
  2. Will my floor hold....???

    So....I recently bought a 150 gallon 48x30x24 and planned on putting it on the second floor of my town house. I am suddenly concerned with it crashing into the basement. I was wondering if that was anything to concern myself with. I used to have a 110 in my old house, not that that's...

    I plan on buying a 72"x30"x25" 240 gallon which i will have viewable from 2 sides. I plan on making a custom cabinet/hood so the bulbs will be roughly 12" off the water. I plan on getting 3 MHs, 400W, (maybe w/ 2 VHO actinics on the side) for the lighting in this reef. I was wondering if that...
  7. Born again reef keeper

    Hey everyone! I've been away from the game for about 2 years due to the wonderful thing called the ARMY :D It's all good! Anyways. I'm looking to put a nice aquarium in my house, and I was wondering what the "best" skimmers are these days. I used a remora skimmer back in the day. I don't...
