Thats awsome man. As you probably already know when you set up your 125 or whatever you end up getting BE SURE to use all the water from your 55 to start filling up the new tank. That water will be great to help it cycle really fast, of course you will probably use the filters/dirty media with...

Hello All, Here is a brief background on the current setup. I have a 125 with a large stars and stripes puffer (10 inches). On top of that I have 60 lbs of Live Rock currently in the display and 50 lbs curing to soon be added. So Im looking at 110lbs, enough to to a fair job of covering the...

how is your water circulation? any powerheads?

Your best and safest bet would be to have a carpenter come out and look at your floor, or somebody from a hardware store ? In my opinion I think you would be safe with a 125. The only reason I am saying this is because I have a 125 in my bedroom on the second floor. Its been running for 6...

I knew I was addicted when I began spending every dollar of my paycheck on my Aquarium instead of repairing my car.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I currently have a large stars and stripes puffer in the display tank. I went ahead and set up two 20 gallon longs. I plan on scrubbing the rock upon delivery, how should I scrub it? Should I buy a bottle of Rock Prep (its a bottle with some type of cleaning...

45 pounds of Live Rock is coming tomorrow. My tank is currently in the 80's on Nitrate ppm. My question is this, should I still cure for a long time untill there are no nitrates in the water, or cure for a day allowing the dead stuff to fall and then throw it in the tank? Obviously if my...

sure is, he started going after him so i put him back in the wet/dry where he was originally :( I think im going to find some cheap feeder snails to throw in the display for him to munch on, any suggestions?

Hello all, I just threw a saltwater snail into my display to see what my puffer would do. So far he has not shown any interest in the snail. My puffer is big, about 10 inches in length. The snail is pretty big as well. My concern is this, could he possibly swallow the snail whole and have it...

Thanks ! I filled up the plastic tub with new saltwater and will cure it in there.

ok this is a very basic question so I wont go into great detail. I have 45 lbs of Live Rock shipping to my house. My question is cure the rock in a 20 gallon long or a plastic tub that is slightly larger? If I can pack it all together in the 20 gallon that would work best because I could easily...

Yep , I plan to have a pound to the gallon soon, but Live Rocks expensive! I have been doing 30 percent water changes weekly in hopes of reduced nitrates. No luck yet though. Im ordering the rock tonight so it will arrive wendesday.

Alright cool, I am not really to concerned with how pretty it will look, but more concerned with how effective it will improve my overall water quality and drop my nitrates? Do you think once I cure it again and add to my display I should see results within a few days? I have a 125 with 50 lbs...

Yes Lions Need ATLEAST A 125. I had a Lion in a 55 for two days and realized he was under extreme stress and moved him to a larger home. He was near full size for captivity and when his spines were spread they literally would almost rub on the front and back of the glass in the 55. Not wide...

Thanks Hot883, As for the re-curing process goes, Does it typically only take several days? I found information saying to replace the majority of the water after two to three days. Let it sit for 24 hours and then test the water quality for ammonia, nitrates, nitrites. Does that sound about...

Thanks guys, If I buy it off this site when it arrives should I still cure it or rinse it and then place it in the display? They say under the description that its "pre-cured".

If you have a large enough aquarium get the Lionfish. They are excellent fish and like said before very docile. They will never try to attack you I would do water changes with my arm underwater and be watching tv at the same time. As long as you dont bump then hard you will be fine.

Man I think that tank looks great. I saw a really nice Green Brain coral that I loved at my LFS.. I think thats what kind of coral it was not to familar with corals.

I have mine under the drip tray. I removed all my bio-balls and have carbon media there instead.

Alright the high Nitrates have made me give up on water changes weekly and I have decided I need more rock. I have a 125 with only around 50 to 60 lbs of LR. Anyway I am ordering 45 lbs... but you all have to help me decide which site to do it on. This site, or *******.. sorry If I didnt put the...
