Hello-
Its been awhile since I have been here. I had for a couple years now been hoping that I could reset up my rig after we bought our new house a couple years back, but I have finally come to the conclusion that isn't a realistic vision. It has sat covered in my garage ever since and I...
Well the house I was going to buy fell through, and looks like I am going to have to move to storage for a term. So all that coupled with my new schedule, I find myself with less and less time to properly care for my tank. With that said, I need to break down my tank and am giving away any and...
I appreciate you allowing me to come over today. It was great to see your setup. I also appreciate the several frags you gave me. I will post pics once everything is in place. I might need you to name them again for me once I get pics up :D, so I can add it to my files. Anyway if you need...
Well I found out that in Oct. I will be going to Iran, so I have decide to move my family into a smaller place while I am there in hopes of saving enough to buy a house when I come back. The down side is that everything live in my tank must go. I have over 100 pounds of tonga with different...
Every since I have had my tank one thing has been bothering me, how to lessen the gurgle of water coming from my tank. I have probably spent over $100 hacking up PVC to try different configurations. I throttle back my pump from roughly 900 gph to what might be 200 now. That has made the most...
After the recent red bug talk, I am more paranoid now than ever about what is alive in my tank.
I recently noticed a "new" resident in my tank. I know someone out there has to know what it is so I will give it a shot. After much searching on the internet to no avail, here it is
At first I...
I don't know how many of you use EBAY, but I have been using this program for some time, and I know that it has paid for itself time and time again. It basically guarentees that you will win the auction for the lowest amount possible. It places a bid just seconds before closing.

I have been talking to a manufacturer about making some aquarium controllers that are more or less low end. It would only control pumps and lighting. So far my requirements are:
control 4 pumps with independant control of each max 100w
Control 4 lights groups, max 1000w, again each light group...
I am designing a DIY wave maker. How many things would most people want to switch, and at what duration would you want them. On for a minute at a time? 5 minutes? Please give me some input as far as features needed. It could be built for any amount of items, and the timing could be changed, but...
Well the first report is in....
And the Hammer Coral did extremely well from what I am told. For all acounts I put em in containers around 11 am, with just damp half sheets of paper towel, one for top, one for bottom, and just enough water to keep em moist so.. For most frags assuming they went...

I just finished reading an interesting article pertaining to the shipment of live coral. The link http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-11/eb/index.php talks about wet vs. damp shipping and the result of what appears to be for the most part controlled expierements on the subject. In a nutshell it...
Well since there is none and I am knew, this is my suggestion. A place that everyone can see who is who and to give the newbies like myself a chance to introduce ourselves
My name is Gorm, I have recently joined BAR after trying to find something just like this for some time. I am relatively...
