To concur with everyone above - boiling water will do nothing for you. Most basic difference between distilled and RO - RO is obtained by means of filtering out all the bad stuff - leavoing just water in the ideal situation. Distilled is obtained by collecting steam and condesning it back to...

it depends largely on what type of tank you want to have (reef, agressive, comunity -Fish Only, Fish only with Live Rock (FOWLR), etc) Maybe look at dwarf angels (they are peaceful, don't mix with agressive fish - check them out) I think the best looking is the flame angel, but they also have...

Thanks for all the great advice - I will do some research on CaribSea sand mentioned above, Wax, thanks. I am going t add LR by how it ends up looking oin the tank - but from what I have gathered so far I guesstimate the avg to be about 1# per gallon. I guess I'll end up trying 25#, see what it...

Ok- I guess that makes sense, so maybe I will buy 10# LS from swf and 30# dry aragonite and go with a slightly deeper sand bed (I wanted to go deeper, but can;t really drop too much $$ right now - I figured i could always add more later) thanks!

I am looking at replacing the CC in my 45G tank with sand. I have decided I will start with about a 1" shallow SB. My dilemma is this - I read somewhere that if you are going to have LR (which i am doing in a month or so), then you don;t need to buy LS, becuase the critters from the LR will...

I am by no means an expert, but if you read some of my other posts you will see that i have a CC bottom, and have been dealing with algea on it becuase a year ago almost all my fish died (ich from a new fish - no QT), i got lazy, and haven;t been keeping up with my water changes. I have started...

OK, great, thanks for the goby info! I did some research -the odyssea is the jebo - I guess they are the same company - so i will keep looking. Any suggestions out there for a mid-range light? I just need one for my LR and maybe some hardy corals down the line - if i decide to go with a reef...

A good place to go is tropic isle in framingham (natick?) - not really S Shore, but kind of in the middle. They have a good selection of fish/corals, and I have found their prices a LOT lower the LFS up here on the N Shore (PJ's pet center) If you know of any other placxes up here on the N...

Thanks Mona - I think the questions on substrate and lighting could be helpful for us beginners - but there is sooo much information out there - I feel like i could read this sight for a week straight! Ophiura - thanks for taking the time and giving me some input on UV. UNfortunately - I...

Is this too many questions for a thread? Should I break this out into 3 different categories?

If those are your only fish you should be fine for Saturday and Sunday without feeding them. I am not sure how some of the less-hardy fish would hold up, maybe someone else can pipe in just to inform the rest of us- but damsels can definately survive 2 days without food, and the clown should be...

Here is my equipment/setup: 45G (36x12x24H) tank Fluval 304 Canister Filter (Foam/Pre-filter/Carbon/BioMax) Seaclone skimmer Flourescent light (24"(18?) Coralife 50/50) Turbo-Twist 9V UV filter (currently not attached) 3" CC bed (I have removed all but one decoration for the perc - this makes...
