I will attempt to catch up anyone at TRT who is listening up with my new tank here. I am a newer member so I hope to get to know everyone more. I was given a 31g 48"x 11"x 13.5"tall acrylic tank. It was home made but never used. A family friend found it on the curb.Came with a dual fuge, a...

Wow, that's a mouthful. This is my Official Thread (the first "Build" thread I've ever started as I came in with a tank already started). So HERE it is : Yes it is still Dry. I am waiting for work to tell me when the office is moving and whether I can start the tank there. If tomorrow...

I had it bagged and ready to take home today and then I asked (by chance) if it was possible that my hermits could get it....and she said YES. SO I left it for another lucky reefer.

Here is a temporary test setup. I did not want to risk too many nice things until I get the hang of a smaller system.I put a couple nice pieces in but chances are they are heartier than most of my options. Here is a cool little frogspawn. Most of the tips are green but some have been turning...
