The light and ballast work fine, if I recall there is a slight leak around the main seal. Might just need a new gasket. Free to a good home. Local pickup in Morgan Hill or Menlo Park.

First, I'd like to extend a big thanks to @scuzy who posted the craigslist for the tank liquidation. The deal I got on the E-170 was too good to pass up (yeah, I just needed an excuse). The seller, Jason, was very accommodating and assured me that if there were any issues, he would "make it...

I think I've talked my wife into getting a "nice" tank. Every sw tank I've ever owned has been a 2nd hand purchase. Have been looking very closely at the Red Sea tanks. The 170 seems to be the right size for the room and I think I have a line on a good deal. Seems the the sump on the E-170 is...

[Taken] Just pulled from my tank yesterday. Each bucket is about 2/3 full of sand and the rest water. Free to all, but preference to supporting members.

Does anyone (or the club) have a NIST traceable thermometer I can borrow? It's been almost forever since I've re-calibrated my Apex's temp probe. Since moving the controller from one tank to another, I'd like to make sure everything is accurate. Thanks!

This started out as a small "sprout" on a piece of live rock I bought years ago. In the past year it's gown quite a bit. It greens up in the light and bleaches out in the dark. I've had some sprout out of my sand bed as well. When I've pulled it out, it seems to have a root system. It's not...

Well, it's been about a year since I intended to take down my 90gal garage tank (old build thread). I just found it too hard to let go of my clowns. Heck, they are older than my kids. :) I contemplated the challenges of keeping them in my 10gal QT tank and decided is was not worth the hassle...

I'm going to start breaking down my tank. Time to give my chaeto balls a new home. If you need some chaeto and don't mind driving down to Morgan Hill, PM me.

Disclaimer: This is not my photo, but best I could find that shows full color. Free to a good home. Very healthy eater (pellets, mysis, vermetid snails). Great tank mate... until my clowns started to lay eggs. I originally added this wrasse after reading about it's ability to eat vermetid...

When I first entered the hobby the mandarin goby at my local fish store immediately caught my eye. I was told that although it was a beautiful it was very difficult to keep. Being new to saltwater I figured I would just give it a shot. Luckily for me, my live rock was teaming with pods for this...

Hi everyone. This will be my first attempt at build thread. If you end up follow along, you will find I'm a horrible writer. I’m grammatically awful. If it were not for spell check, I would have been kicked off of the internet years ago. So, if you can suffer through my run-on sentences and poor...

As the title states, I want to add a Chia Homer head to my future reefscape. I'm a die hard Simpsons fan and just think it would look cool. I envision it being covered with coralline algae, GSP or acting as shelter to a mandarin. I understand the purest stance keeping plastic toys and other...

Hello, About 3-4 years ago, I bought a 90gal setup 2nd hand with the intention of replacing my 55gal tank. Around the same time I also bought 2 x 250w Icecap MH ballasts, a 600w Icecap florescent ballast, and other DIY reflectors and sockets. Almost immediately I released that my raised...
