And here's the tank I am using. A 77 gal Hagen tank. Dimensions absolutely suck for aquascaping, a fact I didn't really realize until after. 48" long, 24" tall and only 16" front to back.

Daplatapus's 77 Gal

Well, I thought I would get a couple pics up of my system. I had this tank since 1992 but was running Cichlid's in it for a few years back in Alberta. When we started thinking of moving from Alberta...

The last I read there Gizmoh you were torn with which skimmer to go with. I'm running the SRO 2000 INT and really like it. From all the research I've done you just can't beat the bubble blaster pump...

I hope I don't come across as a pessimist here, but there is something about using a check valve for safety that inherently scares me. They are completely prone to failure. They rely very much on...

That's what I did, threw in 2 cocktail shrimp in 3 weeks. But if I had found a source of liquid ammonia I probably would have tried that first. A slower but just as effective way would be to ghost...

I think a hardy fish is easier to care for. Feed 'em and give them fairly clean water and they're good to go. They also get you used to doing water changes and getting used to testing. Corals need...

Ya, I found my was a bit screwy too when my tank was new. I also find it's weird after I clean it. It works way better after it slimes up a bit.

Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree. If you get a fish and put it into your tank, what if it has ich? The parasite will live it's life cycle, drop into the substrate be reborn 1000 fold and...

IF you're on their web site looking at the pics, it's huge, I know. The pump inside that housing is actually quite small. That's what I meant when I said they need some retrofit for our application....

If you have access to a couple other small tanks you could do the tank transfer method. I've done this with a couple fish and it seems to work. RC has a thread on it in the fish disease forum. The...

I now have 4 emerald crabs in my 80 and I rarely see them in there either. Sometimes when my lights go out for the night I'll catch sight of them but that's it. I wouldn't say I have a big bubble...

Nice! I like the pink pocci. Did you glue those plate coral frags to your overflow walls? I like the look of that.
