Cool nice tip I would have just placed the LR on the sand. It should be easy enough to clear out the sand to put the LR directly on the tank floor. I am getting 52lbs of LR today and the tank is a 47 gal. I was told to do a shallow sandbed to prevent stuff from getting trapped in there causing...

Just wanted to share where I am at so far. Getting excited my live rock goes in today. I will update when that happens.... The power heads push the sand around hopefully the live rock will stop that. Nothing too exciting..

I just found this a I guess its called a Pure water club, RO Aqua Water Purification System it looks like it has everything you hook it to the kitchen sink for 100 includes shipping anyone heard of this? 100 Gallon Per Day Reef 6 stage Reverse Osmosis + Clear (DI)De-Ionized filter + Needle valve...

From all your research Im using tap water for my tank. Should I use a R/O type or is something else good. Dose anyone know where to get a cheap one of these or should I use something else to get pure water in my tank. Thanks

I am going to go to the LFS monday to Verify my results. The nitrate levels out of the tap are 2ppm and in my tank its about 100ppm the salt i am using is Instant ocean sea salt. thanks

Yes I am doing the test myself 1st test was with my tank water and the 2nd test was with straight from the kitchen sink. Will the live rock lower my levels or do I have to start over. Thanks

My tap water reads I know Tap water but my LFS said they use tap water and where I live its safe. So my Nitrate level out of the tap is 2 ppm.

This is a new set up I have had it set up for 2 weeks now. I finally got my salt levels right. 1.024 I wanted to put my live rock in Tuesday. My problem is my nitrate levels apperar to be around 100. Will the live rock help fix that or should I do a water change... Not planning on putting any...

Yes its from Scratch.

This a new tank Nothing in yet. Im trying to get my salt levels right. My question is how much time does the salt have to be in the tank to add the live rock. I have been told 3 hrs or should I wait 24 hrs. Thanks

I just wanted to say Thank you to all of you on this Board. Other Boards you wait hrs or days for a response. I post a message and no sooner then I refresh it there is a response. So thank you, you all are great on here. More question to come im sure. Thanks

Sorry its a 47 gal bowfront, 2 powerheads, a return type filter with the bag in my secondary tank. That tank is about 15 gal. That tank has a 3 chamber system to control bubbles. My proteine skimmer is a euro-reef type I do not have it turned on yet. I have a t-5 lighting system. Im sorry if...

I have had the tank set up now for 48 hrs. I am planning to add my live rock tomorrow. My PH levels are like 7-8 the light green is right in the middle of the color spectrum and my salt levels are 1.005. Im using a Refractomerter so I added a bit more salt. With another 24 hrs do you think its...

sorry it is a new set up im not turning on the power heads till the live rock goes in....

Whats a min. temp. for adding salt. I have a 47 gal tank with a secondary return filter tank. I bought a 30-60 gal heater and its taking forever to heat up the tank the heater is almost cranked to full. I gonna buy a better one soon. The tank is at 69.5 is that good enough to add the salt. Im...

Really have nothing in my tank yet. Still another 2 weeks till I add fish. Im sure I will have to add a Ocellaris Clownfish just because for the Movie Finding Nemo. From there Im not sure I like this guy a Green Mandarin but it states a difficult fish to care for. So I still searching.

How many fish would you put in a 47gal sw tank. Not including my cleaner shrimp and snails. I Have 50lbs of live rock and 30lbs of sand. I did not want a deep sand bed so not to get stuff trapped in the sand bed. I am only getting reef safe fish.

I am getting ready to add water to my sw tank Friday. Is there a cheap way to filter your tap water. I really cant afford the 100+ water filter. Im concerned about tap water causing more alge then I want... Thanks

For the outside I have some Acrylic buffer-Polisher. I have 3 big boxes of stuff this guy gave me. I guess when there is water in the tank I probably wont even see it.
