    I am working on setting up and dialing in my calcium reactor and am wondering how long most people run their's a day (i.e. 24/7, a couple hours a day, etc.).

    Let me first apologize for such bad pictures. My photography skills end at my iPhone. I will try to get my hands and an actual camera sometime this week and get some better shots, but for the time being here are some blurry pics.

  5. My 325 is finally cycling!

    I have long been lurking on many forums researching and ogling many peoples tanks. I have learned the immense value that these threads/ blogs have for everyone who is willing to read them and have decided to try to start my own in hopes that others will be able to learn from my mistakes and use my limited knowledge to help them succeed in this wonderful hobby. So without further ado, here are the system specs.
