I decided to try my hand at making my own rock. I've got the time and I really enjoy DIY projects. I've got NO experience w/ cement so this should...
I've also been reading up on planted tanks, I'd like to start one of my own. There's another good website to get you started... DFW Aquatic Plant...
if the powerhead is causing so many problems maybe consider a closed loop before trying another one? glad to hear he didn't have problems eating
Looks like you've got a good plan, can't wait to see how it comes along! I would agree, if you can fit and work with the 75 gallon, you'll probably...
I'd probably say sell it...would you be happy with the scratches if you kept it?

I was hoping if I had a good amount of rock and a small bioload then I could get to some equilibrium where the skimmer may not be needed. I just got...
Thanks Beaun & Powerman. Interesting, I wasn't aware of how the different organics are removed...I'm still learning ;D How would refugiums work into...
Thanks Telgar. I could see how daily water changes could quickly justify buying a skimmer ;)
I know most people seem to use protein skimmers these days to remove excess organic material from the water that isn't processed out from the...
I'm sure that battery's charged by now ;D can we see your progress?
