It's been almost 4 years, but I am finally back in the hobby. After getting married, kids, career changes, and other distractions I have convinced my kids that "they" want a reef tank. It's good to see some familiar faces like Juiceman, ty, and others are still very active on this forum. I look forward to talking with you all again.

Starting a new tank with dry rock and I need some pods to start growing for future fish. I used to buy from a company called reefs2go, but they seemed to have changed their name ( Aquarium Depot I think), and they no longer offer free shipping on pods. I don't really want to spend $35 for 250 pods shipped to my house. Does anyone have a local source?

Where did you get these barrels?

I would like a couple 250w if you have some.

Have you talked to Jake at river city or the guys at aqua tek? This looks like it would be a great invert or coral display.

I'm looking to buy a stand for my 60 gallon reef tank. Dimensions are 48-1/4"L x 12-3/4"W for the footprint. I'm willing to buy used or new as long as it doesn't break the bank.

thanks for the insight I will check out the reef octopus!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good hang on back skimmer? I am setting up a 35 gallon hex tank that doesn't have room for a sump or equipment underneath. The tank wont have a huge bio load, but there will be some invertes and smaller fish.
Thanks

Hello, I am looking for a circulation pump that will move 1000+ gallons of water. Something like the Hydor's or tunze's.
I am also in the market for a used phosban or bio pellet reactor and pump combo.

Back in the hobby 42 Hex build
in Tank Builds
Posted
After a long hiatus from the hobby, I am setting up a reef tank with my daughter, and we figured we would take you guys along for the ride.
We are using a 42-gallon hex that I have owned for many years and I still have a lot of my rock from before, including the large coral skeleton you see in the photos. Before anyone asks...I did not kill the coral, I bought it along with a complete 180 setup that had been really neglected. The rest of the equipment is left over from that tank along with many others that I have had throughout the years.
Currently, I am running a 150w MH for lighting, and I was able to fit a 10 gallon into the stand as a sump. It's is certainly a tight fit for the return and a large ASM G-3 skimmer that Ty sold me many moons ago. I will post a full gear list and livestock when I get a little more time. I do have a couple of questions though;
Does anyone have any good recommendations on a good/cheap LED light for a deep tank? It's rather deep, and I am not sure how much technology has changed in the past few years. I am not looking to break the bank on this build( I plan on saving up for a larger tank in the next few years). I have done some research online, but most of the cheap Chinese knock-off lights are very vague about the quality, and PAR of their fixtures. Any information or product recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Also, what is the consensus on Bio Pellets? I loved them when I used them 4 years ago, but I only used them for 6 months or so before shutting down. I do not currently have any nitrate issues so this is more of a preventative measure. I want this tank to be super low maintenance for my daughter.
Thanks again, and its good to be back in the community.
