Ya know.... it's a funny thing.... I've seen many a tanks setup before... right now... the big fad is R/O... everybody has to have a R/O or knows someone who does... I used R/O on my original tank stickied at the top of this forum, but I know soooooo many others that either put regular tap...

I don't see why not to name names..... just a good way for noobs and pros alike to stay away from places that won't even do a water sample... I mean come on.....how much time is the customer really taking away from the business huh??? I mean they're buying the **** fish from you DUDE ...

WTF ???? :confused: What type of place is this ???? Which place is this?

Almost ready to post pics of the 80.... and we're almost at the 5000 view count:cool:

This place has consistantly always had the best prices... And you pic the boxes if you go down there but his stuff is TOP NOTCH! http://www.oceanproaquatics.com/shop/product_info.php/products_id/130 Where are you gonna get the BEST premium Fiji for under $3 a pound? My dad just...

It's almost a requirement nowaday it seems... and gens are so **** cheap... on Ebay, used, garage sales, etc... Funny how people will blow $500+ on lighting to keep $1000's of live rock and coral alive... But a $300 or under Honda on ebay is out of the question... My buddy scored on...

I've talked about this on other boards, but for how much $$$ we all have invested in our tanks, EVERYONE needs a generator just in case some type of disaster should happen... Even if you only spend $300 on one of those loud contractor units, you only have to run it in little steps to keep the...

I guess it depends on the species, but my 2 false perculas will lay both on the bottom and lay on their side in their little "lovers area".... and other places in the tank.... been doing for a long long time and no problems so I'd say OK... I have 2 clowns, 1 Puff, 2 Puesdo, 1 Damsel, 1...

Fishdaddy3, when OrionGirl talks about a liverock, DSB(deep sand bed) and skimmer only filtration setup, read my very first post which is stickied at the top of this forum which is labeled.."Starting a SW tank, some good advice".. Corax told me to go this route... for the 8 month this tank...

new pics of the 80 coming tonight !!

well, I'll just add my .02 here... for both my 40 and my new 80... all I had for oxy was a small maxi-jet who's sole purpose was to shoot towards and disrupt the surface of the water... sure I have a bit more salt-creep... but so what:confused: ... gonna happen anyways..... you think a SW...

I myself have always used clear Tygon tubing. The only thing I don't like about PVC is that its there for good. Then, unless you're forced into a drastic situation, have to cut it up or change it, water spills, etc.. with flexi, lift it up out of the tank, raise it up, turn off the valve...

I don't get it either... I goto 2 "high-end" LFS's and they have Rio's... I tell them about burning up, smoking up, leaking oil, etc.. and I read this on all the online forums and they say... "Oh...no... we've never heard of that or have seen those problems, only burned out impellers"...

I will say that ViaAqua and MaxiJet's are excellent units. I have both in my tank, and never a single problem. Also remember that both of them are 100% sealed, oil-free and can run dry without damage... unlike Rio pumps.. I've heard sooooooooooooooo many bad things about Rio's it's not even...

No, they really never did. I assume that would have been thanks to the incredible levels of Nitrates and Nitrites I had.. I took my little cleaner stick, and barely touch one of them and it just disintegrated into an almost dust like powder !!! The tank was a bit cloudy with all the shrimp...

Sounds to me it's a bloom of some kind.... also for that size of tank, 2.5" is really not enough and you might be getting a bacteria bloom... In my 40g tank, I'm running around 4" minimum DSB as the active biological filter and if you've read any of my posts in the last month or so, most on...

Progress, Readings and pics for 2nd. Week (3rd. in operation) Well things are coming along. Certain levels have dropped and everything is looking peachy.... First the pics....and the water is almost perfectly clear but I do have to clean the glass.. Shrimp melting away ...

I wouldn't say that it's clearer to look through... Although it may apear brighter then glass, Acrylic "looks" brighter thanks to the crystaline structure of the molecule chain in the polymer. Just like diamonds appear to "amplify" light and look all shinny. Another reason why plastic...

From personal experience with tanks, both with friends and family, I've ALWAYS seen the best results from glass.. The only reason I say this is because of the scratch factor. If kids and other currious fingers are going to be in contact with it, then I'd say glass. Living in SoCal in the...

Ok...the final post for this week.... It's has now been 2 weeks (only 1st. of testing) and things are really starting to accellerate now !! Here they are.. Ph= 8.1 (same) Ammonia= .25ppm (down from 4.0ppm 2 days ago !!!!!) Nitrite= Off the chart still !!! Nitrate= OFF THE CHART NOW...
