I agree with you Nate. I went there for the first time. One cool thing was everything was supersized. From the shrimp to the coral. Everything was big. The negative side was it just seem so dirty. It appears he relies on the natural light from the greenhouse and the sun shooting through the roof so all the tanks look like a hazy green and give you a natural untouched effect. Also just about every tank was full of aptasias. I'm not talking small ones but big ones. If you put you hands in there one might drag you in. Also the same, the price list is not available but I had my iphone where you can pull the price list from their website. Their live rock tank is full of aptasias too so i will never buy life rock from them. It seems like it operates exclusively like an online fish store so nobody can see how dingy and dirty the place looks in my opinion. But if you want something big, that is the place to go if you don't mind all the aptasias you can possibly transfer to your tank. One guy in passing said the prices are not concrete and you can do some haggling with the guy. Plus his green house is very hot so I could imagine his chiller is running overtime. Oh well. Thats my 2 cents.

Great tank setup....how do you mount the monti's on the glass?

125 a lot of flow no shrimp T5 - 12 bulbs. A lot of light. had Zoas about 3 weeks or so

Is this due to too much light or not enough light or not enough water flow. My other frag zoas are open and located in the same general area. it doesn't look unhealthy just remains closed.

Yes, the Richmond store is awesome. I've been there.

Doesn't matter if you feed them a lot or not they act like they are starving. So how do you know?

I'm coming. My tank is a new setup so no frags to bring.

Thanks. I'll stop by Roozen's.

Thanks. I want them for my 14 gallon biocube.

Yes, I have one. Its called the "Lamarck's Angelfish". Very passive and coral friendly "This is not the most beautifully colored angelfish, but it is a beauty to watch swimming in a reef aquarium. It does not touch corals and it is very well behaved" "Members of the genus Genicanthus are planktivores and will not bother corals or clams in the aquarium, making them the perfect reef angel. Lamarcks' angelfish is white overall, with black lines on the body, black on the dorsal fin and small black spots on the tail. The tail in this species, and other members of this genus, is lyre-shaped, which is indicative of a speedy open water swimmer. It readily adapts to life in captivity, accepting aquarium fare and acclimating to the conditions found in a well-maintained aquarium. Therefore, it is important to provide them with plenty of swimming room. Like all Genicanthis, they tend to be passive toward most other fishes." I personally like the way it looks.

Is it just a matter of size that determines the amount of ammonia a dead fish or invert puts out if you can't find the thing in your tank or hope that your crabs will get to it? So will a dead turbo snail put out the same amount of ammonia that lets say a clown of the same size will put out or are their chemistries different? And if you have lets say a dead fish that is 3 inches long and big, how many days of ammonia release do they produce if untouched by critters. How long will it take for it to decompose bringing the water back to normal through its cycle process. Clearly there is a science to the madness. I could look it up I guess but would like to hear from you guys for discussion sakes.

I was having the same problem in my garage where my sump is. Lately I would crack open the garage door or open it all the way. I have my chiller running and the humidity has been low I guess because the water temp has remained normal and consistent.

Just go to camstreams.com and set up an account. There is a tool you download that communicates with whatever camera you have and that is pretty much it. You might have to do some router configurations for your port. I'm testing them out for a little bit.

I'm looking for some sexy shrimp. I'm in Manassas for my 14 biocube.

Tank setup or cam setup?

I guess my laptop logged off. :(

Tell me what you guys think? This is my 125 tank at home. Free cam hosting. http://queloque.camstreams.com/

I was looking to do it. I'm curious what others have done.

Funny I was about to post that you never find or seldom find clean looking or well organized aquarium stores. It seems over time they just look worse and worse as though the upkeep is very difficult to maintain but after looking at this I know that it is possible unless this is a brand new store and only time will tell.

I'm doing something similar but i'm not m3fan8ic. His post just sparked my issue as well.

It is a 75 gallon sump. Is that too small? And chiller

I guess it doesn't matter where in the sump I feed the cooled water in right? Meaning feeding it back into the return chamber where the primary return pump is or in the initial drain chamber where the skimmer is located?

I never thought of that. So you are saying pump through chiller than loop the outflow from the chiller back into sump?

I would screw my skimmer up if I tried to install the gate valve mod.

I got it. Thanks.
