I had a great time, it was my first meet to go to and I plan on showing up to more. though I made a note to self, rofl, if meet is in south austin...go way ahead of time. The test kits from Austin Aquatics where made by Elos...(here) and these are the tanks made by Elos if you havn't seen them... Im currently saving my money so I can pick up one of these beutiful tanks up (the one I want uses crystal glass). Hopefully in the next 2 months I can pick one of these tanks up set it up.

Lion was found dead in the tank this morning, what ever it is spread fast...it now covers is 1/4 of his body. I'll try to get good pics...

I purchased a Black Volitan Lionfish about 2 weeks back, he is still in the QT tank (my fish sit in QT for a month before transferring them to their main tank). I've noticed a spot that started to form, it looks as if his skin is coming off...I can see the tan where the spots have formed. After 2 days these spots went from the size of barley noticable to the size of quaters...it started on one side and is now on both sides. After some research all I can come up with is Uronema Marinum as what he may be sick with. However I wanted to try and confirm and get the best idea's on treatment for him are. I've enclosed a 2 pics, these pics are from 2 days ago (the spots have doubled in size). (o this lion is an adult, very large).

Real name is Kevin, I will look forward to visiting family/friends/ and fellow out of city reefers :-).

Hello, :-) Im grew up in North Richland Hills and Haltom City, I travel once a month to Ft. Worth to visit family and friends. Love your tank

no he is in a 92g bowfront corner quartine tank..

I've decided to keep everyone up to speed on my small reef tank keeping...big thanks to Captian Bob for pointing me in the right directions! So here is my 8g Bio Cube Reef I am currently removing the clown, using a fish trap tomorrow to get it out and move it to the 10g ;-) And for those Lion Fish lovers... Black Volitan Lionfish, (he is currently in a quartine tank...)

I think 2 good topics would be: - how to prepar for a Emergancy! - DIY (ie-making equipment to simple plumbing)

I just picked up a 8g Nano, my live rock is in a moutain shape, however I left the back side open. In short I did a mountain (I am attaching a file, this is a quick ms paint that shows how I have set my rock up). untitled.bmp

if your looking for a car, I'll look around...I have plenty of friends who are selling. PM me w/ the max you would like to spend and I'll see what I can pull :-). If you would also like to rebuild your engine/trans or get them replaced...I can get probably get you a decent deal.

I havn't had any problems w/ this website while using firefox or opera...many websites for me just seem to sluggish while using Explorer.

The mini freezer would work great, however u don't want to freeze the water flowing through the hose. The hose I am picked up is very thin (think 3/4 in). I'll bug the girlfriend for the pics in the morning. In total I think I spent $120 on everthing, not bad for a temp/back up chiller. :-)

here is this link in ARC's DIY section, I will be posting pics tomorrow. :-)

After spending all my pay check on getting some new equipment I was looking for a fast way (besides fans) to bring down my water temps in my 92g fish only tank (temp was at 83 and I wanted it to be at least 75-78). After reading a few threads on RC I decided to give mine a shot. My first plan was to stop by Walmart and Lowes! At walmart I picked up a mini fridge, they have a few from $70-$200, now mind you the small ones can work but you will be running them full blast the whole time. I ended up picking up this one as its got alot of room inside to work with. My next stop landed me at Lowes and picked up 40 feet of hose, this hose will be curled inside the fridge (the longer the hose the cooler the water passing through will get). So now I have the mini fridge and 40feet of hose and a pump (I don't know what kind but I used it as a return from a sump on a 30g). Take the mini fridge and drill 2 holes large enough to fite the hose (I put 1 hole entering into the freezer section and the other hole was on the side (bottom portion). Now it really doesn't matter where you put the holes that is a personal preferance. I then dropped my pump in the sump and ran all my hose from the pump through the fridge (i have 18 curls in the freezer section and the rest are in the fridge) and back out to the sump. Turn on the pump and make sure you don't have any kind of kinks in your hose, then turn your fridge on. It took me 2 days to get the temp to where I want, now my temps of my tank stay at 77 (with the fridge settings only on 5). This was my temp solution till my next paycheck, however with so many tanks in the house this lil mini chiller will be seeing alot of use. I'll try to post pics as soon as I get my camera back.
