I'll second "jimi"'s response, I have ordered twice from GulfView, as well as a few other places and Gulfview has great rock, especially their Premium Deco rock @ $5.99/lb. I would do at least 1/2 with that rock and buy some cheaper stuff elsewhere.

Thanks Broomer, I feel better now. Should I move it down in depth, or off to the side ? Its at a shallow depth now and I have a 30" deep 110 so theres room to do either or both ???

And no - I'm not talking about a headache either. I bought 3 corals 2 days ago from the LFS. They looked great. The brain coral was about 4" in diameter ? Today it looks like a head of lettuce. It is almost 50% bigger than it was in the store. The polyps are much larger also - does this...

Timing is everything, as is the case with your post. I was eating my lunch today and looking at my tank. I saw my decorator over by my new brain yesterday and she took a bite - tasted it and moved off. I figured that was the end of it until today when I saw her rip a chunck out of my new...

Thanks Adrian. I have my fans on only some of the time because of the noise, but I'll start leaving them run longer. I also mounted my PC's off to the side more like yo did. But when I got my replacement bulbs today and plugged them in they are a lot higher shade of purple than the old ones...

Question, I see you have the actinic mounted below the hallides. Will the heat they produce have any kind of effect on the actinics ? I just did the same kind of set up with (3) 150 HQI's pendants mounted above the PC's. Within a few days both of my PC's "popped" at the end where they are...

For my 2 cents worth, I have ordered from 2 other places in the last 30 days besides the Gulf View rock. No comparison at all. If he would have been 1st he would have been the only one I ordered from. I just got my 2nd shipment of 25lbs of Premium Deco from Dale yesterday. Even better than...

The decorator crab is kinda docile. Neat from the perspective that he/she has begun attaching different pieces of the reef to itself. Sponge, coraline pieces, even a piece of algae. Not very active but is always out and about, moving slowly. So far its been a nice aquisition. Now if I could...

Update 2/5 The horseshoe crab is a complete drag !!! Beware of these sand plowing, anything in my way is dead meat, bulldozing, feather duster decapitators. Very destructive, don't buy these unless you have plenty of room and nothing your worried about. Very entertaining ..... FREE to...

Order was : 2 brittle stars 1 Blue star 1 sand sifter (Icabod) 2 cucs 25 scarlets 25 snails 2 Feather dusters 4 emerald crabs 1 sally lite foot crab (very cool) 1 coral band shrimp 3 peppermint shrimp 1 shaving brush plant 1 horseshoe crab 1 decorator crab 1 bag of extra shells for the "boys"...

update 2/1 Order arrived, everything packed very nicely. 3 heat packs taped to the top of the cooler, still warm. Everybody survived except Icabod the Starfish who was mutilated by the others ??? Missing several limbs, more like a trifish now. Everyone else REAL happy to be free. After...

update 1/31 Received email notice that my order will arrive prior to noon tommorrow 2/1

I just bought a new computer and with it came a power strip called "Nextgrid". This power strip can be attached to a battery backup pac that will run a computer for 20 minutes. Now I do not believe you could run all of your equipment off of it, but perhaps your pump anyway. The battery pac...

update 1/29 Received confirmation this morning of "add ons" order being combined with original order

update aprox. 18 hrs after sending my email a response was sent by SWF asking for list of "add ons" to be added to original order. Their response was within 24 hours and no one would expect more than that. I will keep everyone updated as we go.

My apologies if any offense was given to anyone. That was clearly not my intention. I had read some responses to a few topics on this board which I could see to be clearly direct from the sponsors, so I assumed this would be the proper venue. I am trying to be proactive in helping other...

I just tried to place an order for a clean up crew with our sponsors. The website checkout process was not the easiest to deal with. I wanted a cleaner pkg. and tried to add on some other things. The process would not allow the add ons because the total did not exceed the minimum order amount...

If you go to Reef Central.com they actually have a board devoted to DIY projects with detailed plans and all

I'll buy some !!! bjpj1958@powercom.net I'm serious none of the local LFS ever have any, and I'm trying to get my refugium started.

I just finished buying 100lbs from 3 different vendors. Gulf-view.com has the best rock without question. Don't even waste your time with the others. Premium deco $5.99 / lb shipping is reasonable but this was great rock !!!!
