Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
All this fish tank talk made me go get my diatom filter out of the shed.
I gotta polish that tank up a bit. :) |
Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
Cool thread! I have a 120 gal. and a 10 gal. nano. Six or seven years old. My wife kept the nano at work at her previous job. I'll have to clean them enough to take pics.

Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
Ugg, The place I orderd my tank from said that there was a price change and they arent honoring my order! bastards. Theyll sell me one for 220 now instead of the 176 I ordered mine for. that should be illegal! in fact think it might be but oh well. Dont buy from aloha aquariums!
Oh well, it may be good that it happened. Im starting to debate starting a 50 gallon tank with a remote sump:hm I dont know which way to go! only thing ive ever had a hand it was my dads old fish only tank. had a 15inch Lion fish in it. Was the coolest thing ever. sold that sucker for almost 2000 bucks to a private collector, apperently its rare that they are that big for very long. Went into a 2000 gallon tank, still there too. anyways. Off to my search. IM still thinking nano though, but ill be using the mini skimmer i saw too. who knows, well see gah, so many options! Im so screwed. |

They're a class outfit with top notch stuff at very fair prices. You won't take an Aloha-style screwing, either. :tu |

Used them extensively until I eventually got my wholesale tax license for the business. Their prices are quite close to that of wholesale, or at least as close as one can get. Much, much cheaper than local shops and very reputable. Another very reputable mail order one that is out of PA is "That Fish Place". Just as good. Also ordered quite a bit from them. |

I just ordered parts for my Diatom filter from them a few weeks ago cause they're the only ones that carry them. The only thing I can say negative about That Fish Place/ That Pet Place is that I've called them for a couple things and talked to everyone in the store and no one knows anything about what they're selling. One time I just gave up. I've always wanted to visit their store but it's about 4 hours away. I'm not that excited about it. :) My all-time favorite store is Elmer's in Monroeville, PA. It's a smelly little store but at a time they had the best selection of fish anywhere. Good and healthy, too. They've slipped in recent years but sometimes they're good and sometimes not. I still stop every time I go by. :) |
Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
In the San Jose area, this store is incredible. A little high priced but very good. Dr. Le is the best adviser I have ever found. He sets up and maintains commercial aquariums. Tiny little hole-in-the-wall store that is jamb packed with some of the most beautiful aquariums.

He liked driving to it. Another one I just thought of that although I never bought as much from as the other two I mentioned, I did buy from them and they do have a massive, massive location about a half hour from me is BigAl's. |
Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
Boy......
I stayed away from this thread as long as I could. It breaks my heart that I don't have a tank anymore. I'll start one up again one day for sure but here are some pictures of the one I used to have about 4 years ago. 90 gallon corner unit http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3375/...66c1ed5b_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3528/...325040f5_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3412/...4f0d7a98_o.jpg By far my favorite in the tank was this blue carpet and it's buddies http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3409/...78227fbb_o.jpg |

Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
Wish I had some close ups of the Ricordia in that first picture on the right side of the tank.
They were gorgeous!!! |

I'm excited about the coralline spreading over the rest of the new rock I have in my tank. It'll do so much for "the look". It's kind of neat how age and patience play into reefkeeping maybe even moreso than cigarkeeping. :) I think cigars may be more work, though. :D |

Everything saltwater smells. If it doesn't I'd be concerned. :) You learn to love it. :tu |
Re: The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread
I shouldn't have asked.
I should have just gone ahead, dragged the 55 out of the garage, set it up in the office room in the house, bought all the crap I need on the business card so she won't see it and I would have had a reef running already as a second tank again, at WHOLESALE!!! Instead, I ask if I could. Am I a child? Did I need to be excused in class to go to the bathroom? Did I forget my hall pass or something? Crap!!! Man I fear that woman.:r |
