Mine didn't seem too awful interested in flakes, I tried bloodworms and that worked like a charm. The bloodworms don't seem to go all over the place like the flakes.

Nah Sea, this was in one of their tanks. The guy was just cuttin me a deal since i was buyin a bunch of other crap. So these are entirely "tank raised"

I bought this rock, they gave it to me for the per/lb live rock price so I thought it was a good deal considering whats on it. These guys seemed beautiful and stretched out when first put in my tank. I have a Coralife with a 96 watt Actinic and white 10,000K quad bulb. Is that enough light...

Correct, that's why I wouldn't want to put it in a sump or anything. The actual tubing going through it is stainless. I believe it's just 3/8" line.

While digging in my basement looking for a 10gal tank that I thought I had, I came across some of my homebrew equipment and got some ideas. I have one of those metal plates intended to cool beer. Its the kind that has the coiled tubing going through it, and its a big block of I think aluminum...

What is the humidity in your house? I really don't think that 300gl of tank would create that much of an issue. I'd measure your humidity in the tank room, and in a general open area of your house. I'm sure you can google for an optimum range. Something a little below a humidor I'm thinking. ;)...

I have recently noticed the exact same looking thing, but on a piece of live rock. 8O what is it??

Wow, ok. I was under the belief that the lightfoot crabs were pretty docile to all other creatures. Might keep my eye on him them. Is there some other types of crabs that you might suggest for that small of a tank, that will be friendly to all other inhabitants? Eventually, I'd like to get a...

Things are settling in nicely now. I'll try and post a pic later. I SUCK at taking pictures of my tank. Not sure what the hell I'm doing, but it's just not coming out. The hair algae is gone. I have one rock that has some algae on it, but it's not growing at all. Just sort of staying the same...

How would you plumb this? If I understand you correctly, there would be one pump from the sump to the tank. And another pump for the wavemaker. Not sure where that should come from.

I have a 24" Coralife 96watt fixture also. On mine, when looking at the front of it.. The two fans on the left suck air into the fixture, and the two outlets on the right blow air out of the fixture.

Correct. Just the front and back would be visible. So it would be like a window. Do you mean that only having an outlet to one side, would not allow for enough water movement? By closed loop system, do you mean the inlets and outlets are are through piping going through holes drilled into the...

Makes sense. It certainly wouldn't be a good use of space underneath the actual tank, thats for sure. As far as my idea of having a 55 in the wall, is that setup feasible? I was planning on having the flow start at one end, and flow to the other end, where the overflows would be located. I...

I was thinking so too, since this thing is tall, and only about 5 inches thick. It has brackets on the back, it's actually designed to be a hang-on apparat. Does it look like a crappy design or not? I'm just wondering what I might be able to do with it. It's too tall to hang on a 55. It would...

I'm wanting to build an in-wall tank. 55 seems to be a nice size accomplish this. I was thinking of having the overflow at one end of the tank, and return on the other end. Sump underneat, with heater etc. I have an older hang on the back system that I was curious if anyone thinks it could...
