They sell full kits on BRS but I went to Home Depot and got 8' sections of window screen framing for almost nothing. Then you buy the corner pieces and the rubber spline and boom, you build a screen window

Glass is actually quite bad if you're talking about covering all or much of the top of the tank. Clear mesh will not block light and does not prevent the gas exchange from occurring. Him using the 3-4" piece in the front won't hurt but I would stay away from using the middle piece as well. Sure, with a completely open top you're going to lose water faster due to evaporation. However, this is actually a good thing in my opinion because it's like a "hands free" constant water change which can help keep nitrates down.

I'm no seasoned pro but I would use the clear mesh that BRS sells. If you want to come check out the top I made for my frag tank last night shoot me a text. Once I make the one for my display I might have some left over for you. Oh, and I guess you're stuck using the glass in the front.

I love this chalice... It's fairly simple in terms of how many different colors it has but boy does it make up for that in the pop factor.

I've been told what's coming but I'm not telling

I'm clearing some room tonight when I move some things to the frag tank.

I'm going to have to come check some of this out prior to Frag Fest.

That explains why I found him last night. My lights went out for about 10 minutes then I turned them back on to do something real quick.

Yeah, I would imagine these guys are easy snacks for anything interested in it.

Sweet! Upon closer inspection it seems he does have a shell. It's just no where big enough for him to ever fit in. Back in the tank he goes.

Anyone have an idea of what this is?

Ok fine, I'll take 25 I guess......

WOW.....that didn't take long. Sweet deal

I love it.... I want to put 500 of them in my 56 and see what happens

Oh the suspense.....

Are these the same Nassarius you got for me a few months ago? I was expecting little tiny ones but they ended up being HUGE.

Things will change when I get my light and my clear screening for my DIY screen top.

Quick iPhone pic.

I sent you a text earlier with a pic of the sump Will post full pics soon

Frag tank is plumbed, filled, and up and running. I added a decent sized piece of flat shelf rock in the tank and about 15 pounds of rock into the sump that I had lying around, along with a few pieces that I grabbed from Richard at ERC. I gave the rock a nice acid bath and rinsed it off real well then soaked in some RODI for a bit. I had a HOB filter running on my display the past few months which I was running GFO/Carbon in so I switched that over to the frag tank to seed the rock. Ordered an AquaticLife 115 skimmer last night and a new heater which should be in by the end of the week. Also should be getting my new d120 in a couple weeks. By the time the light comes in, the tank should be stable and ready to be stocked!

I love that movie. It just came to mind when the live/kill was being discussed.

Yeah, last year people who had screen names that started with S missed out, I was pretty upset

Only for people with screen names that start with A,B,C,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y, and Z for this one.

Or you do what I do and don't keep SPS

And some of the rest is in MINE
