  1. watching the RODI....going insane

  2. Something has come up, I cant make the meeting.
  3. How do you take pictures so close and in focus? My camera blurrs out when I try on my tank.
  4. I just got a 40 gal cube. Thanks for all the help. Now I just need a stand, lol.
  5. Im hoping to be all moved in by that time. If nothing unforseen occurs, I will be there. Ben
  6. I think im going to wait until after the move. I'm tossing around a few ideas but havent made a decision yet.
  7. Ok, I'm no expert on tanks, but here was the scuttlebutt. The members that I spoke to were split about 50/50 for and against their tanks. Those who had them were very happy with them. Those who had traditional tanks were skeptical of frameless tanks. The boss claims to have a 0% failure rate. He has always been a straight shooter as far as I'm concerned. They had a few on display. They are very nice to look at, but any of the traditional saltwater gear detracts from that look very quickly. It tends to stand out. So, the way they had it was with their lights hanging from the ceiling, as opposed to sitting on top. They dont have that "lip" that holds up a lid of any kind. I wouldnt recommend anyone put anything on top without some modifications, plus it would take away from the beauty too, in my opinion. Also, their filtration systems were hidden below it and they used clear, glass tubes (which they also sell) to draw the water out and then return it after being processed. Bottom line is, the only parts you see going into the tank were transparent. This is not required, but I could only imagine my black, nasty powerheads and hoses uglifying the tank. I think the tanks are beautiful, but would take extra time aquascaping to maximize it's potential. This extra effort sounds like fun to me. They are not too expensive, but it could easily get that way. I hope this helps. Ben
  8. MARSH is having their meeting at ADG on Saturday, small world! Thanks for the info.
  9. It looks like a good deal, but im looking for something smaller. I'm leaning toward a cube tank if I can find one.
  10. Greetings, I will be moving to Austin in a month and have broken down and sold my current aquarium. I would like to keep some sand and live rock for a future tank. Right now the rock and sand are in buckets with powerheads moving the water, which is not a permanent solution. I'm considering drying all of it out, but it already smells as bad as when Han cut the Tauntaun open to save Luke. I can set it out on my patio, but I live in an apartment and dont want to gross anyone out. Any advice would be welcome. Do I need to dry this stuff out? Please help! Ben
  11. Greetings, I am a MARSH member from Baytown who is moving to Austin at the end of the month. I am looking for a smaller, apartment friendly tank and stand. What I would like is a corner pentagon or something similar that won't take over my living room. I would like to keep it between 30 and 50 gallons. In addition to individual offers, I would appreciate any advice when it comes to local stores that you would recommend for buying a tank and other saltwater needs. Thanks in advance, Ben
