Speaking of GFCI, I changed my aquarium power outlet from the normal type to a GFCI type just last week. I did replace it after reading some threads and/or tips from this forum. It was a good thing that I did it because my PS pump output hose was disconnected to the main PS hose due to a loose...

Thanks for all the replies. I do have 40 lbs of LS so I think I don't need to add anymore LR. In addition, I have a PS, 2 power heads and a canister type of filter. Thanks.

I've read that the ideal total LR weight to tank capacity ration is 2:1. So for a 75 gal tank that will be about 150 lbs. I have 75 gal tank and already put 75 lbs of LR. My observation is that the tank is almost full of LR. If I put another 75 lbs of LR, then it will occupy a lot of tank...

I drove up north from Dublin OH to grab about 35 lbs from him yesterday. All I can is that the live rocks are in good quality. Unfortunately, I only need around 35 lbs but I will take all of them if I need more. I came from a FWA and moving to a SWA will incured a lot of time and money. As...

In addition, you need a lot of patience.

Welcome. I am also new to SWA but a long time FWA. From what I read and understand, SWA needs more time, effort and money to maintain. Most of the things they put in the SWA is not just ornaments put it is part of the biological cycle like live rocks. For me, instead of spending money in...

I'm convinced. I am still recycling and I am using the swing arm type for a couple of weeks now.

Nice info. I have some lava rock that came from my old FWA and I was thinking of putting it in my SWA. I was dead sure to put it in until I've done my research about it. Do you think it will be safe to use it since it was in my FWA for more than years?

I only need about 30 lbs and I can drive up there to pick it up. I am from Dublin, OH. Please PM me @ marlonvalera@hotmail.com. Thanks.

I am interested. Need more info and my email is MarlonValera@hotmail.com. THanks.

I am interested and I am also from OH so I can just pick it up. Thanks.

I started mine from day 1 and I am already on my first week. Is it better to stop it until the recycling is done?

Thanks for the encouragement. Reading this forum really helps me a lot. It shows how much info I really need to start on the right path. Thanks.
