cool thanks

So I have a 100 gal tank dimmensions 60"L x 18"W x 20"H and I'm looking to start putting together the equipment needed for it. The stuff I got from the guy that gave it to me is way out dated and beat down. So I scrapped the sump w/ built in skimmer, the return pump is burned out so I need a new...

Thats a great idea, I think I'll just do that. It would be a shame to get rid of all that rock. Thanks mark!

So I just got home and the water smelled like sewage. The water was a dark brownish gray. I decided to just scrap it and try again later. When I dumped the water I could feel the heat rising from the cooler... a bad sign right? Since the LR didn't cost me anything all Im out of is just the time...

the rock was out of the water for several hours. I'm not sure the temp right now since am at work. I wont be able to check for another five hours. How much die off is exceptable. I cureing it for a 100gal tank that hasn't been set up yet.

ok so I have about 100lbs of LR that I just got from the ocean. I have just started the cureing process and wanted to make sure that I was doing it right. I started out by puting the LR into a big cooler with two maxi jet 1200 power heads. I'm not sure if this is enough flow for the amount that...

please do, I'm trying to get as much info as possible to help me decide which way to go.

Attachment 229130 Attachment 229131 Attachment 229132 Here are the pics of the tank the way it is now. Along with the equipment. Let me now what you think.

Yeah, I would like to have the option of having a few soft corals that I could add at some point

$300 a good number for lights that's my max for now.

what light's would you recommend for a fish only tank?

not to deep, looks like it was cleaned with a green scrub pad

I don't know what he had in there, it was already broke down when i got it. I can take pics and will post them

Hello everyone, I wanna start out by saying that I'm very new to forums, I have never used them before so please go easy on me. I just got a used 100gal tank and stand with all the equipment for free. I don't think the person took very good care of it. The equipment is as follows: 1. hob syphon...
