what the heck kind of a fish is this? I found that just clicking around on that site.

I have two seperate circuits set up, both 15 amp, one is didicated, (Oonly by luck), and I have another one that has my computer running on it, but I don't use that one for anything with a heavy draw on it. I might have a bit of overkill, but my philosphy is that overkill never hurts

mines in my home office (once I get it up andf running)

If you are looking for quality pictures what you want is a camera that has at least 3 megapixles if not 4. what the means is there is more pixels per inch. If you were to fiond a camera that is 4 megapixels then you could effectively have a picture that would fit a 11x16 frame and look VERY...

Ha Ha Jeremy you have 1 of the mass stores which is the other one. I think I am going to be coming down this week to check your place out. Thanks for all your help guys. I might actually have some idea of what I want now.

well I htink I have a sump... lol I am very new to all this and still trying to figure out whats what. I think I have a sump, but I was looking for a hang-on. I have a wet dry setup filter (even though I hear they are not the best to use). So there is a 10 gallon tank that the water flows...

For my 60 Gallon tank, Any Suggestions? I am on a budget so I can't go outrageous, but lets say around 200 or below? Best place to buy one from?

Hey guys what do you suggest for times of your lights turning off and on. I know that you want to have them on for about 12 hours a day, but I want to see my tank lights on around 10pm or so. so would be a good idea to have them turn on at 10:30am then off at 10:30 PM. the room that the tank...

ok I will look into that. the longnose hawk will eat shrimp if they are big enough to fit in there mouth. So I might need to completely rethink what I want for inhabitants.... maybe :)

I have drilled glass before but not in a tank. I have a bunch of diamond bits that I can put on my dremil tool. I bought a glass cutting bit from HD but it ended up breaking the glass. make sure you use diamond bits and have a constant driping of water by the bit so it keeps the glass cool...

Thanks wombat I will keep on looking. I know that I have to wait to get all the stuff I need, so to keep me at bay I am reading and reading and asking as many questions as I can. SO I knwo exactly what I am going to do and how I am going to do it and what fish I want and when. I may make a...

Thanks Dan, I do need to do more research on what I can have and whats going to get along. One question I have is I have read that you can have anywhere from 1 inch for every 3-5 gallon. I know this is not a set in stone thing but whatever I can deal with that. Does that also include the...

Yeah I figured that corals would be out of the question, I guess its the price I will have to pay. but would shrimp, crabs and stars be ok? I know a vho would do wonders but in that I already bought and built the HO I think I am going wait and get a MH fixture when I can afford that.

opps sorry I meant the filter is rated for a 125 gallon tank. I got it from someone who was using it on a 55 gallon tank. The filter flows from the 58 gallon through the filter which sits in a 10 gallon under the tank. The lights are 30 watt florescent bulbs. I have 2 balasts 1 for 1 30 or...

Hey guys I am a newbie to the saltwater tank world, and I have spent the last month gathering information and stuff for my tank. I have a 58 gallon (36"L 19"H forget how wide) oceanic systems tank/stand combo. I have a 125 gallon wet/dry filter, 2 powerehears (one 800 series one 300 series), I...
