That is the best way to do it I have had fresh and salt water tanks for 20 years and I am still learning new this in this hobby everyday. its a great hooby to be in. It keep you off the streets and out of trouble hehehhehe :yes:

I did email you :D

Sorry you are right I should have explained it better It is basically length times the width times the height then divide that by 231 to get the gallons but remember that the measurements are in inches. there i explained better sorry bout that

Mixing the 2 should not be a problem but I would get some books on the hobby from either a library or store. I will always say this research research reseach (you will be caring for living delicate creatures and the joy they will give you is what makes this hobby awesome) dont just go by...

USE THE KIT it has liquid polishes in it to buff out the scratchs if that is the kit you get.

Nice purchase just an fyi 72x 18x 18 = 23328 divide by 231 = 100 gal Only things i can see you need is sand, lr and salt. and then you decide if you want to go fish or reef and you may need a few lil odds and ends.

I had the same thing happen in my tank and now I have feather dusters everywhere in my FOWLR they dont do any harm they help to filter the water a lil and my fish my pick and one here and there every once in a while. IMO and just IMO if you have small feather dusters growing everywhere you must...

Prob not supposed to post this but I will anyway there is a place in Sunrise called Play It Again Sports they buy and sell used sporting goods might want to try calling them they will even come and pick it up from you and give you cash for it so you can get your tank or protien skimmer.

I am of the same thought that if it isn't broke dont fix it, but at the same time you can not be stagnated you need to look at newer technology and newer ways of doing things to see if it is viable for you to use which is what I was doing. I in the end looked at my system and weighted the...

How long have you had it I was reading the instructions (I know I am a guy and I really shouldn't be reading instructions but I had a lapse in judgement) and it said to let is run for 24 to 48 hours before setting to the flow rate you want . I guess it is just a way of maturing the unit !

I wouldnt worry bout it too much it is SALT water so it should help to clean it out lol

Well you know "SOMETIMES NEWER CAN BE BETTER" (newer technology that is) but in this case I must agree the set up i have now is purdy sweet and seems to be working great. BTW I got the new skimmer today as well a coral life super skimmer 125

OK read a post on this subject by Thomas it helped sticking with my current set up

Thomas thanks for the info in this post. I had post a thread about this and I think I am goign to stick with my bio balls, live rock, and refuge set up that i currently have because if i put live rock in my sump the ditritus with build up in the rock just as it would build up in the bio balls...

Very nice tank Diablo and glad to hear it is working out for you.

OK I have had salt and freshwater tanks for just over 20 years. BUT I am from an older school of thought when it comes to filtering the tank with a wet/dry system. I have been doing some research on taking the BIO-BALLS (Please i dont not need a lecture on how bio-balls hold debris and can...

That fish is beautiful that is one of my favorites i had one for 4 years but that was almost 10 years ago. I had one recently but he unfortunatly did not last very long.

Do you have any type of mechanical filtration in your tank such as chemi pure or chemi zorb (carbon ) that usually gets the smells and dicoloration out of the water.

Sorry salty even that wont work out the right way in the end, you could pump too much out to the refuge and drain it too fast. Sw65gal and sammie said it best arldy as to why.

Drock i upgraded ,my 100 to a 150 i used everything from the 100 and even added a few things. I bought 3 35 gal garbage cans (brand new) emptied all my water into them and put all of my live rock in them as well. I then took all my sand and put that into a 7 gal bucket. I put all my fish into...
