Alright, got around to taking some pics and thought I would post them here. Comments welcome, it seems that I have a billion frags under 2-3", but I like to see them grow up! Joey

I have found a site which gives a fairly good explanation and pics of a good looking and (hopefully) effective skimmer for my next project. If a skimmer expert could take a look at this site- http://bluechunks.net/reef/skimmer2/ and let me know what they think of the design, it would be greatly...

Anyone have experiences with them? Concerned with purchasing one online if I can find one, as my once pod infested tank has turned to a flatworm infested tank...looking at Sprung's "Invertebrates" guide gave me the idea to aquire one, as their life span is not very long, they feed on flatworms...

Hi all, Just ordered the 150 W 10 K DE HQI MH components for my 20 gallon tall. This tank is already equipped with 220 W of PC, 4 X 55 W bulbs, 2 of which are 10 K, and the others, actinic 03. My question is this...Since the lighting in the tank is DIY, as well as the canopy, and since I...
