It was good to meet some of you at the meeting this weekend. Looks like everyone had a good time. Looks like a really good community of knowledgable and friendly people. I plan on joining as a member in the new year and looking forward to hearing your experiences. -Whisk (Ryan)

good to meet ya too. You missed the raffle, which was pretty cool because there were a lot of winners that got to go home with some cool frags and other products. Some folks were multiple winners too. There was some cake that was passed out and after that everyone said their goodbyes.

right on!

This DIY thread will discuss how to replace the existing stock fans in the Aquapod 24 with the more quieter Silenx fans. While replacing a fan should be a quick swap plug and play, it is not the case with the Aquapod 24. The problem is the 2-pin power plug from the stock fan is glued down to...

looking good as always dude! you going to the meeting on saturday? Will i see you there?

December 1, 2008 The last couple days, one of the fans in the Aquapod has been acting funny, making strange noises almost like the fan is spinning against the plastic. Hoping to fix it, I unscrewed the plastic splash shield and air blasted the fan, figuring dust may have been causing the noise...

November 29, 2008 Well, I havent been on in a couple days but I thought I share the news. While I was at the LFS, they did not have any fighting conch for sell. I told the guy there I needed something that would clean the sandbed and I told him everything about the tank so far. He was an honest...

November 11, 2008 Tonight I added the fuge rack, basically another eggcrate mod with a fiberglass screen that covers the holes to keep chaeto contained while allowing water in. Essentially, I have created a 3rd chamber in the back of the Aquapod for the fuge. It's not the best mod as it was...

November 1, 2008 Woot! Here we go! My LFS has a sale this weekend on LR and no sales tax, so I jumped on it and decided to start the tank a week early. It was deal I couldnt pass up and would save me about $60. I took the time yesterday to buy 25 gallons of saltwater and let it circulate and...

This will be the ongoing thread of my Aquapod 24 gallon aquarium from the very start of setting up the tank. I have had four years of experience with freshwater aquariums. This will be my first time at keeping a saltwater nano reef setup. I hope this joural will help all newbies out there like...
