Ok! Some progress, thanks to petco. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How're you liking that space saver model??? Any updates? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice it makes a lot of sense. I hear you on tank size. My other tanks are a 180, 150 and 125. I just do not want to spend thousands on setting something up that I'm not even sure I will enjoy. This way I can get in for cheap and can convert one of my larger tanks if and when I...

I'm in Santa Rosa near hwy12 and Fulton. Nice to see another Santa Rosa resident here! I've pretty much decided to pass. I was much more excited before he texted me the pics. I have a 40b black back acrylic that I currently use as a fry tank that I might poach for this project as I've never...

Vortec, not vortex damn auto correct ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. I'll probably pass. I have jäger heaters and a mp40 vortex lying around. With the 1 buck per gallon sale at petco I can get both tanks for 60. I have a few 1" bulkheads lying around. Only things I would really need to purchase are skimmer, lights (led or t5) haven't decided, return...

That's the kind of stuff I was looking for. Thank you!

Hi everyone. Don't know if this is the proper spot for this kind of question, so mods feel free to move if needed. I could use some advice from some more seasoned reefers. My plan was for a 40B with 20 gal sump build from scratch with DIY drill and sump stand etc. I've come across a used setup...

Thanks! Tanganyika is very much like a landlocked sea. The lake is HUGE and produces waves and whatnot. Fish like tropheus and some petrochromis sp. live in whats called the surge zone habitats that is very similar to ocean reefs. I run my mp40w on reef crest at 100% and the fish love it. Some...

For some reason, this link is busted. I really would like to read it from your description

Thank you everyone for your bits of wisdom. I really appreciate it. Fishkeeping is the only avenue of my life where I am literally capable of learning from others and their mistakes! So please, keep em coming! Some specific questions: Do either of the skimmers I posted sound ok for a 40B? Are...

I am very well aware of the differences between sw vs fw stocking rates. The petro and trophs must be kept crowded like that to keep them from literally killing one another off until you're left with only 1. The part about this I'm really started to be fascinated by are the corals. Don't get me...

Hahaha - you are correct there lol! Just like to have the knowledge to attack things the correct way. Especially where live animals are concerned

Very nice! Pretty much the direction I am looking to go. How is the drain in the 40B configured? Single hole with an elbow? Did you use biopellets from the start, or did the need gradually develop?

Of course I forgot at least one thing... #12 Dosing - Depending upon need obviously, am getting the impression that 2 part is pretty effective on smaller setups. Is a dosing pump required or can it be done by hand? #13 ATO setup. I hear this can make or break an in-sump skimmer. Is that true...

Hi there. For those that don't know me, my name is Sean, and here's my thread from the "welcome" section: http://www.bareefers.org/forum/index.php?threads/wassup-noob-here.16165/ So, my plan includes a 40B, with a 20L sump. I can go larger on the sump to say, a 29, if the consensus is that it...

Now for some videos: My prized petrochromis sp Longola colony that I have since sold.... Short spawning vid: Foai tank video: Thanks for looking! Many more vids on my youtube channel as well! Hope I embeded these correctly :)

Cyathopharnyx foai "Kachese" Cyprichromis microlepidotus "Kavala" Tropheus sp. "Ikola"

Thanks everyone! Scary thing is that I already have a 180, 150, and 125 gallon tanks. However, they're currently occupied by some extremely rare wild tanganyikan breeding groups. I want to start small because of 2 main reasons: 1 - I simply have no more room for large tanks at home or office...
