  1. I was able to attach pictures but couldn't get them to show here. If anyone wants more pictures just let me know. Thanks
  2. I'll be moving soon an will be unable to take my tank with me. So up for sale it goes! It's a 90 gallon tank with a stand, lights, sump, skimmer. The tank has a deep sand bed and a ton of rock. Also currently in the tank is a pair of clowns and an royal gourami. I'm looking to sell the tank for $600. Let me know if your interested. Thanks
  3. Yeah it looks like just that corner is wet and it looks to be coming from under the molding. I thought it was condensation but there is only water present at that corner. The flow is same during the night and during the day. At first I thought one of the fish was splasht the water but sat and watched for a couple of hours and no splashing but just a drip drip every now and then. Also if I low the water lvl so that I can caulk how long till I can turn the pumps back on? Is there a special caulk I should use so I don't kill everything in the tank? Thanks
  4. OK not sure where the leak is coming from but it look like it is coming from one of the corner of my 90 just under the hood. Now how safe is it to pull off the hood drain some of the water and then re-caulk around where I think the leak is? Now this would be on the inside of the tank. Also would probably run a bead of caulk all around the out side of the trim. Also thought it was wierd that the leak only appears during the day with the lights on. At night there is no leak. I've put towels along the bottom of the stand to find out when the leak is occuring. Any help is appreciated. Thanks,
  5. Would have to get past the whole permanent numbness thing but sure a little butter and quick dip in a batter and fried might be tasty.
  6. WHOLLY smokes that is an awesome setup!!!

    Food?

    Normally I'm feeding every 2-3 days. The reason I'm looking for more it that my kids left the fish out and they completely defrosted. So rather than chance refreezing and feeding it to the BTA I decided it would be best just to throw out the defrosted food and get new.

    Johnny do you happen to have any more of the individually frozen silversides (not sure they were silversides but looked the same)? I got them last time I was there and they worked great. Although my kids found them and left them out so I need to find some more before my BTA gets too hungry. Thanks, Brian
  9. RIght now I have zoas, a BTA, and some frogspawn in the 90. The reason I bring it up it that 2 of the ballasts are going in my PC lighting and I was thinking about replacing all the light at once. Right now everything is sitting under 2 150w MH and 4 24w PC lighting.
  10. Right now I have some zoas, BTA, and frogspawn. Currently they are under 2 150w MH and 3 24w PC lights. Well 2 of the ballasts for the PC lighting is dieing so thinking about replacing all the lighting at once.

  12. Just wanted to get opinions on how much light is enough and does it matter the source. I have always been told the rule of thumb is 3watts per gallon. Now I want to get some new lighting for my 90 but I see alot of lights that are 260watts total. So is that enough or does the source make a difference? Does 250w MH light put out more than say 250w of PC? Opinions welcome. Also if anyone has some light 48" lighting for sale cheap I might be interested. Thanks, Brian
  13. There are a couple of videos on the net with mantis shrimp. One I remember seeing was a large mantis shrimp against a blue crab was awesome. In the end the mantis shrimp won so I have no doubt that if it can take out a blue crab it shouldn't hae an issue with most other crabs. Is it true you shouldn't try and keep one of these in a glass tank?
  14. It's a regular hood with metal hinges mounted on the center bar to support the halide and PC lights.
  15. Yeah right now I have a couple anemones in the tank and they just don't seem happy with the light. Also I got some zoas and even at the highest part of the rock work they still seem to be stretching for more light. So really just want o make sure everything is getting enough light no matter where they are in the tank. I would like to go to T5 but not sure how to put it over my tank since the hood is there and the lighting for the MH is already attached. just want to make things happy in the tank by providing more light.
