This tank is gonna look so sick... I'm jealous. no cheapo corals though, that's my biggest piece of advice. If you throw bargain bin corals in a nice tank.. it'll start leaking mysteriously and then all electrical equipment will fail at once to get back at you..

maybe not the camera phone this time.... possibly gonna treat ya to pics from a borrowed digital lol. They look AWESOME.

I picked up 8 ricordea floridas today for $90 (had to outbid someone on a green one so I paid $20 instead of $10.) They're all GREAT looking.. hopefully none of them melt. I have green, orange, blue, yellow, confetti, multicolored, etc.. I'll take pics after they're all superglued in place and...

ok here's what you need... 2 5gallon buckets with power heads.. drain tank water out of tank into bucket... put as much rock in there too... put the rest of the rock in the other bucket and move some water over to cover it... split the livestock between the buckets.. add all your sand from the...

Originally Posted by mboswell1982 yep yep, and what ya think about the price on a 15g long? i guess it would be considered a long, right? its 24x12x12, its 12 bucks, is that a fair price for it? less than a dollar per gallon is great.. I still want to do another aquavase lol...

delaharsha? hahaha.

Just go on ahead and do 2 islands and copy her.. I know you want to.. haha.

you could retrofit a MH into the stock hood, but you'd definitely need to run a chiller.

It's nice porous rock IMO...better than alot of the stuff I got.. I actually have pieces bigger than that big one in my 15.

Originally Posted by mboswell1982 cool cool, hmmm, then maybe get a 10g tank for 12 bucks at ***** for use as a sump/fuge That'd be an awesome idea.. you could always put the 2.5 sideways on top of the 10 and use it as a chaeto&liverock fuge (for pods and stuff) if you got a small overflow box...

iodine dip... target feed... that's about all you can do... make sure there's no pests eating them.

2 or 4 bulb T5HO... individually reflecte if possible... bright light and not alot of watts. Get one 10,000k bulb and one actinic or two of each. It'll look sharp.

I generally do everything wrong, but for me a good way to cycle a tank VERY quickly.. is to use all cured rock none of that nasty stinky stuff.. and buy ALOT of established sand.. lay the sand down add some water... add the rock fill it the rest of the way. run the pumps, keep the skimmer off...
