So, I'm still setting up my 210g tank. Sand, rock and everything important is in. But no fish or anything living at all actually. I finally filled the tank with DI water and started adding salt. I added it straight to the sump since nothing lives in the tank yet. It's not even cycled yet. I...

Ok, now I'm broke.... :uhoh: I just ordered 200 pounds of dry rock from Bulk Reef Supply as well as an RO DI system from them as well. Once Marcorocks gets some more shelf rock in stock I plan on getting about 75 pounds or so. I also ordered all the essentials from Drs Foster Smith...

I finally got around to cleaning out the leftovers from it's previous tenants. The tank was a FW tank before and the prior owner had that black air conditioning foam stuff sprayed all over the back wall. I got that stuff off and took some diluted acid to the glass to get off all the calcium...

Thanks for the welcome! I have no idea yet on the stocking, but it won't be anything exotic or predatory. I don't have the time for that. For now I have to just concentrate on getting all my equipment and setting it up. I just bought a new 3 bedroom house after moving across the country and...

Howdy! I've been absent from here for a couple of years now. Close to 3 I think. I finally bought another house and can have a SW tank again! My old tank was a 180g. I had to sell it when I sold my house in NY and moved. Now I bought another house here in AZ and I just got a nice 210g that I...

Someone finally came and bought it. I got $800 for it all. At least my house sale should go smoothly. I guess it may be a very long while before you guys see me here on the forums again. It'll probably be quite a while before I have another SW tank. Unfortunately, I've developed an even more...

Here is the link to the Ebay auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=290351699559&Category=20755&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2

Please help me. I have a nice 180 gallon reef setup that I've been trying to sell with no luck. I had it on Ebay and nobody bid on it with a starting bid of $799. I thought I had it sold to someone who was going to drive from Indiana, but after many promises to buy it, he backed out on me...

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I wish I didn't have to get rid of it, but I do. I'll have to take a look at aquabid. If the auction ends with no bidders, feel free to make an offer. You're still gonna have to come and take it apart though. Whoever does get this had better bring a...

Only 2 days left on the Ebay auction, and still no bids. Do you guys think I'm asking too much for the tank? Any offers? I have to get rid of the tank because I'm moving. Please help.

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I didn't have to get rid of it, but I'm seriously downsizing and moving into an apartment with my girlfriend. The only part I'm looking forward to is not having a mortgage payment.... that's about it. Thanks

Unfortunately, I have to sell my 180 gallon SW tank. It has been running for about 1 year. I love this tank, but I'm moving into an apartment and it can't go with me. So, if anyone need an entire set-up, let me know. I'd describe it here, but it's easier to refer you to the ebay page where I...

It's in a spot now where it doesn't get a whole lot of flow. I just wish there was something I could do to help the little guy. At what point do I take it out of the tank because it's dead? I'm guessing it will raise the ammonia if it dies just like a fish will. Is that right? Lastly, how...

I bought a bit of Xenia from my LFS last week. It was all on the same rock and the guy broke it in two for me. One piece seems to be doing great and the other isn't doing well at all. The good piece is about 5 or 6 inches across and the other is about 3 or so. I may have put the 1 piece too...

I guess they sorta look like pineapples. The pics I took were over 2 days. It doesn't look like they have moved at all. How big do they get, what eats them, and will they over-run the overfill or even the tank? This is the neatest part of having a marine tank. There is so much more life in...

These are the best pics I can get with my camera. There isn't a lot of room between the wall and the tank, so the camera has trouble focusing on the critters from that close up. There are at least a hundred or so of these things in the overflow. I don't see more than 1 or 2 in the main tank...

I was doing some tank maintenance today and when I went behind the tank I noticed all these little things hanging to the glass inside the overflow. At first I thought they were just chunks of algae, but then I noticed that they sort of have antennae and they are all shaped the same. Am I seeing...

Ok, cool. I had no idea that the molts would look so much like a whole crab. I guess I was expecting it to look more like a shed snake skin or something obvious like that. Thanks again. I feel better now.

I finally added some crabs and snails about 2 months ago. I couple of weeks ago I added 2 oc. clowns also. My question is, what does a molted crab exo-skeleton look like? Is the ball of crab legs in the pic a dead crab after being eaten by another or is it just the left overs from a molt? I...

Cool. Thanks for the info. It's just that this is my first SW tank and it's a fairly large project thta I really don't want to screw up right off the bat. Thanks. I'll keep working on my stock list. I'll keep you posted.
