    Looking for opinions on IP cameras

    Anybody using a kick ass IP camera that they would recommend? Looking to buy a camera to stream my tank either through APEX Fusion or stand alone. Camera will be mounted across the room (approx 10ft away) so would prefer a zoom feature of some sort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Growth on mouth of Mimic Puffer

    Anybody got any idea what this growth in my sons mimic puffers mouth could be? Purchased from DD over a year ago and no new additions. Appetite doesn't seem affected. Two swollen lumps that look sort of like blisters. No other fish in tank that would have caused it harm.

    Alternating Gyre Mode

    After owning a Gyre 150 for nearly a year, I recently learned that I had been using the alternating gyre mode incorrectly... Multiple online resources incorrectly explain this feature of the pump and once I found out how it was suppose to work, it all made sense. More specifically, I hadn't...

    3D Printer Recommendations?

    I'm thinking about buying a 3D printer as a family Christmas gift (reads for me with the cost disguised) and I'm wondering if any of you have done the research and can steer me in the right direction, or at least give me the basics. Thanks guys. Brian

    Pump considerations for ATO running up from my basement

    I'm running a tunze 3155 ATO and just bought the outlet adapter so I can upgrade the pump and start pumping water up from a large reservoir in my basement. Thank God! The head height is about 12' but will be through a very small diameter tube. I'd like to avoid major overkill but I don't feel...

    Anyone with a router table in the NW burbs?

    I recently sold a majority of my woodworking equipment, including a router table because I simply wasn't using it... Sound familiar? Anyway, I'm making a top for one of my tanks and running a simple rabbet to accept a framed screen top. I have a router and rabbeting bit, but because the width...

    ATO container

    I will be setting up an elevated ATO container that will be hanging over my workbench that needs to be the approximate dimensions of a 10g aquarium. (20" x 10" x 12" ish) but would prefer it to be something a little more resistant to breakage than glass or acrylic. Anybody have any ideas...

    I'm looking at possibly breaking down one of my tanks and in thinking through the redistribution of livestock I'd like some feedback. I have a pair of fire shrimp in my 90g and I was going to introduce two peppermint shrimp, but I am finding conflicting opinions about their compatibility...

    I could really use some reef safe remedies for loosening a couple of plastic thumb screws in my sump that are torquing and not backing out. [emoji16] Any feedback is appreciated.

    A plea for CR user Avatar pic's

    I can't explain it, but my brain just makes better long term connections if I read a post or PM w/ an associated picture. So, for those that don't currently use this feature and don't have an avatar pic, I plea that you consider adding/including one. Anybody else feel this way?

    Emerald Crab Death... Kenya Tree Poisoned or Starved?

    A year ago I bought three Emerald crabs for my 90 gallon reef and in retrospect that was probably pretty heavy loading. As a matter of opinion to others, I would suggest one or maybe two in a 90 gal. Regardless, they worked well for me and I was very happy with their addition. Of the three...

    Totally awesome or a total mistake?

    I've been wanting to start a nano reef setup to home some of the smaller inhabitants that didn't quite "go" in my 90 gallon display tank but having two other tanks and a small third build in progress I couldn't convince myself that this was a good idea... Well, give me some booze and a bad case...

    Another fuge light gets dropped in the water.

    Well I've done it again, last night marked the third time I've knocked a fuge light into the sump. (Varying types, models & types) I guess that leaves me looking for something a little more affordable from a local home-improvement store. I've researched in the past, but thought this would be a...
