you may want to look into a diatom filter to help clear the water faster. Some LFS will rent it out for new setups. its relatively cheap though compared to what we spend on this hobby.

i want your powerheads lol. for now ill stick to my koralias.

have tons of water mixed and ready to go on hand and lots of ways to transport the water.

Things disappear lol. We recently upgraded our 55 to a 150 extra high and as amazing as the tank is you never see some of hte things that are in it. for example Sea hare have not seen it since it was introduced. sally lightfoot. same thing mcculloghis pseudochromis has managed to find a way to...

Ok Received my dual stage DI add on to my RO and got everything hooked up. Let it run for a bit and decided Id check the TDS meter to see if I had managed to reach that magical 0 or 1 reading and all I get is ERR.   I did move the TDS meter probe to after the DI unit. but even my in reading is...

if its rare fish its definitely the mcculloghis pseudochromis if you can ever see him.

What if i told you that Absolutely fish in clifton NJ had some orange spot files when we were in there a few weeks ago. A trio to be exact. If medford is on LI (i think) its not that bad a ride. couple hours lol.   Quote: Originally Posted by BTLDreef I love it! I'm really jealous of you and...

I plan on supplementing my lights with some sort of leds. I havent decided on what yet but for now the 250s are doing the job. I dont know what kind of growth to expect from anything on the sand but it seems to be more than enough to sustain the corals Ive placed there.

Ive got long arms too. unless you are taller than 6 feet. I end up clear up to my armpit. but its amazing the aquascaping you can pull off is great with a tank this high. this is ours about a week after we upgraded

I have a 150 extra high i think its 30 deep. Be prepared to get wet reaching the bottom of that thing. I end up wet to my arm pit if I have to. tank dimensions are 48x24x30. Very impressive set up i must say   For lighting I have 2 250 watt pendants but not a very impressive selection of...

we've had a neon psuedo and now a mcculloghi psuedo and they have killed more fish combined than i care to count at this time. Definitely an aggressive little bugge.r

Thanks for the help im pretty sure one of them is food grade brute can. the other I can't verify hmmmm I guess I have soemthing else to look into when i get home.

I have been battling a cyano out break and a little hair algae in my setup and I have reason to believe that my storage containers are leeching stuff back into my top off and mixed water. Water comes out of my RO unit nearly perfect but im still getting it. I do need to test the water though...

curious puffer got his head stuck in a maxima clam. He was no longer curious after that.

When jordan returned from his hiatus he wasnt mike right away. He did drop 55 at MSG but still wasnt the guy we all love. Just wait. Its coming and he iwll be better than ever.

tank is up and about 90 percent transferred. never again will I biuy a tank that i need a ladder to fill the tank with. :( but its sexy lol ill get some pics up later. its very cloudy. there is not gentle way to fill this thing.

Well I have the floor braced, water all drawn and started mixing it(will finish tonight) and egg crate cut. My Fedex shipment of another 100 lbs of rock and an additional 40lbs of sand will be here saturday. Today I'll stop by the fish store and pick up some stuff to finish my plumbing and...

lighting right now will be 2 250 watt mh pfo pendants. I'll probably eventually look into either LED or 400 watt halides. The depth kind of makes it difficult to keep anyhting high light on the sand. Its a long way to the bottom.
