The Mad Reefer, Bloomington, Illinois
Does anyone know how to contact the owners of the Mad Reefer? I realized that it closed, but they have (had?) a fish tank of mine on consignment. I am looking to either reclaim the fish tank or see if it sold. Even if you just have the previous owners' names, that would be great. Thanks!.

Aquarium lighting

Aquarium lighting in one of the key aspects in both the reef aquarium and the freshwater aquarium. It gives the animals a natural activity and rest period and it makes the plants, corals grow. Invertebrates and corals need it to survive because they have the same photosynthesis process as plants. Aquarium Lightning is not only functional, there are also colored tubes and metal halide light.

.. Planning: Measure Twice, Cut Three Times: The plumbing of your saltwater system is likely the most perilous and adventurous part of your aquarium system... Do it on paper first! It is immensely more satisfying to erase a line, valve, coupler with an eraser and redraw it, make a shopping list and only have to go to the store a few (versus several) times to get parts and tools... then to find your plumbing diagram/scheme wont work, your diameters are off, youre short a pa More

.. Believe me, "been there, done that"... too many times! Maybe youre really familiar with a CAD-CAM computer program, but most folks do fine with quadrille paper (for estimating size) a pencil, straight-edge and a BIG eraser. Draw out the basics of your main/display tank, any sumps, reservoirs, refugiums you intend, how they will likely be juxtaposed (measuring and drawing their dimensions as well as stands/supports), AND THEN consider how and where they might best be joined by plumbing. Space! Take a look about the area you will More

.. look around as there are some very large price differences here. 3) Number can be important as Ive said... what happens if you have just one through-put and it somehow gets blocked (happens all the time)... will the second and possibly only other one be enough to prevent water from going on your floor, your neighbors ceiling...? In the face of paying to replace burnt out pump/s, ruined flooring, moving expenses.... another through-put or two is cheap! 4) Placement is important. You dont want to drill the holes for or place your through-put fittings too close to the top, corners, or edge o More

Their diet should be diverse, and this can be achieved by also feeding minnows, shrimps etc. It is also possible to train gars to accept frozen foods and pellets. Gars cannot be sexed externally. They have occasionally been breed in aquariums but are more frequently bred in ponds or are wild caught. More

Weve got more components and gew-gaws then "Carter has liver pills", with many more than a few ideas on how they can or should be put together. You will be amazed at how much you will quickly learn... and be relating to friends and family that are astonished at "your creation".
