actually they have come a long way, for the hobbyist that has inherited a 75g but is not sure they want to stay in the hobby you can get one for that tank size under $50. There actually is a sump filtration system by Marineland that incorporates bio-wheels. check out their model C3

HAHA we could run around the yard n aked and who would know... what are your GPS coordinates

I just like to talk about my floating balls. Dont we all

yes another way, I love your avitar

I suppose what you're wanting people to do is clean the bioballs.. rinse them? Periodically that is part of maintenance is it not ? Not any different then blowing off your live rock or vacuuming your substratum Regardless, there is no use arguing because it makes us both looks stupid when a...

Ok.. if you want to use bioballs and have them collect crap without beneficial scavengers like worms and brittle stars cleaning them.. then use bioballs. Do not blame the bio-balls for doing the job they are intended to do, blame the hobbyist for their lacks maintenance habits for the...

if you are using uncured live rock to start your cycle you are looking for some die off so light is not a factor

I agree they are under rated but in all honesty i have never seen any algae growth which I attribute to the lack of light in the filter box

LOL.....OK Joe you got me...(in more than 1 way) I love when you talk dirty

Oh, and don't bother using bioballs. Sand/Rock is all the filter you'll be needing in saltwater a blanket statement not necessarily true Ammonia should be zero once you're out of the cycle, as well as nitrites. what does out of the cycle mean Could add a damsel while it's cycling to build the...

I would not take the chance the desjardini sail-fin is one tang i would not mix with other tangs

Originally Posted by srfisher17 Bio-Wheels work well on smaller tanks. They work fine on ammonia and nitrite, provide good mechanical filtration, and can hold various chemical media. They will do nothing for nitrate, however. If you have a fish-only tank, regular water changes should keep...

For those of you considering a mantis tank and are going to use a glass tank please be warned. It is the general consensus that if you are going to use a glass tank you can do so by placing a piece of acrylic on the bottom of the tank. While I would agree I feel even more important if your...

IMO Please do not move your tank with 35+ gallons of water in it. its not just the weight but the effect on the seals with the water movement.BTW I and many others enjoy sump builds so post as you go along. do you know what brand of overflow boxes you are going to get
