I am planing on getting my tank filled up tomorrow and will be using live sand. The bags the live sand came in have some water in them, and my question is should the water from the bags go in to the tank with the sand or should I drain the water out of the bags as much as I can and then put...

I'm from Atlanta here (Coke capital). If you ask for anything that isn't made by coke, you'll get shot!!! :scared:

Yup as of now I have the LS (bagged) and the water (plastic trash can) ready. So it would be ok to go ahead and put the sand and water in the tank and when the rock comes, put the rock in? I always thought that I would have to wait until those three items where available to start the cycling...

I have my saltwater ready to go, but now I am waiting for my LR to come in which hopefully will be here by Monday. My saltwater is currently in a trashcan and has a Maxijet 900 circulating it with the temp at a constant 80. Will the water be fine in the trash can over the weekend? It's around...

It's gonna be a reef tank with a couple of fish in it. I like the idea you stated..put one on top to agitate the surface and another probably around mid-way down to have a nice flow. Thanks!!

I was curious to see what people would do. I am getting ready to set up my 38 gallon tank, and I have 3 maxijet ph's....2 900's and 1 600. Should I use the 2 900's or should I use a 900 and a 600?

That's what I meant. Thanks for the help!!

I am planning on adding a ph to the fresh water, heating it up to around 79-80 degrees, and then adding salt to get the needed sg and then allowing the water to mix for a day or two to evenly distribute everything. After that, I am gonna put it in the aquarium. How does that sound?? Also, am...

So I have finally made around 40 gallons of ro/di water in a rubbermaid trash can. I am getting ready to heat the water up, and a question came to mind. Should I throw a powerhead into the trashcan while the heater is on so that the water can be circulated and evenly heated??

Hey everyone I am currently setting up my 38 gallon long and just put up my MH lights. They are 2 175 watt, 14000k lights. I was wondering how high above the tank I should hang them? I currently have them around a little over a foot above the tank. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!!

Hey everyone I just set up my Kent RO/DI unit and it told me to take out the resin cartridge from the third chamber and run 10 gallons of final product before I use it in order to soak the membrane. Well I have run the 10 gallons and plan on shutting it off until I get a 40 gallon rubbermade so...

I've been waiting for some Southdown to come in for the past 2 months and have decided to just go to the FS and buy LS for my 38 gallon. I am probably gonna go with a 3" sand bed. How many pounds of LS would I need to purchase for the tank? The tanks dimensions are the customary dimensions...

Woops nevermind about that. Would you be willing to ship Southdown sand bags to Atlanta, GA??

You've got PM!!

I am planning on starting a 38 gallon reef tank with 3 or 4 fish in it. I was wondering what tests chemicals, besides alk/ph/nitrate/nitrite I would need for the tank. I came across a cycle package that had these four testers, but what else would I need? I was also told by someone about the...

Does anyone use one of these water purifiers and how are they?? Thanks!!

I was wondering what everyones take is on MH pendants. I am planning on purchasing two 175W 10k MH pendants for my 38 gallon and wanted to know if anyone has had any problems with the basic setup (Coralife). Thanks!!

Hey everyone I'm looking to start up my 38 gallon reef pretty soon and had a question. Someone told me that I could use distilled water from the store for my tank, and was contemplating if I should do that throughout the life of the tank or should I just go ahead and purchase a RO/DI purifier...

I am looking to buy a Ebo heater as I have been told those are great heaters. I was wondering what watt heater I should purchase for my 38 gallon? The 100 watt said that it is for 20-30 gallon tanks and the 150 said it was for 40-60 gallon tanks. The tank will be in a room where the temp. is...
