I haven't had a reef tank in about 2 years and suddenly had an ich to start again. This time it would be a nano, Oceanic 30g cube. It's been running for 3 months now. Oceanic 30g with custom overflow 18"x18"x18" Custom sump QuiteOne 3000 Euro-reef CS80 protein Skimmer Sunlight Co. Tek T5 4-24w...

I have both the Nikon 995 and a Canon S50, but after about a year of owning the S50 I still can't get it to take good macro pics. The pics I took on my Nikon 995 were awesome. But with the S50 its been a different story. I know about the button to get into the flower mode (macro). I tried so...

Congrats and beautiful colors!

Man u guys make me jealous. I wished I still lived in Hawaii. I've been living in the middle of nowhere, Lost Wages. :cry: Da thing I miss da most is the ocean. The only water I see now are my 3 reef tanks. I had 2 reef tanks when I was growing up on Oahu, 20 and 90. I got all of the live...

You guys are right about it being the Arrowana. I have a Red-tail gold arrowana that has a chip in it. Don't have the certificate. :roll: I had it for about 5 years now and originally I bought it off my uncle for $1000. It's the tamest animal in the house and will come up to your hand when...

Beautiful tank! I can still remember walking pass the front of the Waikiki Aquarium everyday for 10 years with my surfboard and would stop to just look at the front door tank. You braddas had some awesome tanks.

Wow pretty cool, never seen one in person before. I have one that is very similiar to that one but its a true percula with most of her body in black. Here's a pic of my baby: Isn't she beautify.

Thanks. Currently I only have one fish in my tank right now, ocellaris clown. The other fish disappeared a few weeks back. At different times last year I had a golden angel, emperor angel, queen angel, purple tang, black tang, percula clowns, red sailfin tang, sailfin tang, and some gobies...

I had a few similiar crabs eating my polyps a few months back and had a very hard time trying to catch the bastards with a net when the lights were out. But someone suggested that I use a coke bottle or something similiar with some pieces of shrimp in them. I left them over night and wow the...

Here is a pic of my 1 1/2yr old 46g bow front tank. I have a couple of overhangs and caves done with my live rock and the total weight of the rocks were about 100lbs of Manono rock.

I tried to unplug a power head while my hands were still very wet and got a very good shock! And it was not the last time, but a few times after that. Guess I didn't learn from my stupid mistake.

Looking very good! I have a 46 bow front as well and love the way it looks. Good luck! ------------------- "Success is not being the best, but doing your best."

I had the same problem when I got my 46g and didn't want to pay $150 for a cheap flimsy plastic canopy. I made my own canopy with just some 1" square rods as a frame and hard wood paneling to cover the sides. The paneling works great for the front of the canopy cause it's somewhat flexible and...

Nice pics. I really like the actinic shots.

It's nice to see someone taking their time to setup a tank properly and not rushing and killing things in the end. I have to agree too that in such a small tank keeping a skimmer is a good idea to keep things in check. In such a small tank the nutrient levels can rise pretty fast if not kept...
