you really need to have legs under each corner. they should be like 4x4's in the corners and like 2x6 in the middle. and the top frame should be 2x6's covered with 3/4" plywood. even with that i would think you could fit the 55g under there. you might be able to cut out one of the middle posts...

what size tank is it? the smaller the tank the worse of it could really be. my suggestion would be to top-off your tank the night before you leave and they give them a nice amount of food. when i went out of town last i bought one of those algee clips and gave my clowns some algee sheets. they...

i ran without one im my 55g for almost a year. all i had in the tank was a pair of clowns and a firefish. no LR,LS, or anything. al i had was one marineland 400 filter that ran carbon 24/7. i never had any problems. but then i added all my LR, protein skimmer and fuge in when i got my baby...

ok so i found 100#'s of LR used from a friend who lives about an hour away. its a great price $2.50 per pound pre-cured(+5 years). now my question is how long can the live rock be out of the tank wrapped in paper towels(keep it moist) last? i would like to just put it in a DT that has been up...

i would go sand. unless you feel like cleaning it once a week. i have to clean my CC at least once a week or it looks really bad. i am in the process of changing it out . so if it were me i would by the sand and skip the CC

good point subie. that didnt even cross my mind.

it will work but, honestly i would spen the extra few bucks for the AC cuz its a much better filter. i ran my 55g tank for over a year on just 1 HOB filter running carbon. never really had a problem. but once i put the good filter on with the skimmer she was beautifull. it sounds like all you...

for the HOB fitler i would use the AquaClear 70. very good for the money. the maxi jet 400 moves the water at a med?small flow rate imo. a horse tank would be cool. i dont have the time to learn about them but would def love to get one someday down the road. you could probly ditch half the rock...

i would just say buy one. they only cost $80ish and you get peace of mind knowing that its works correctly. if your looking to build for fune then melsreef has a design for it.

i would do: 2 B&W clowns. or regulars the B&Ws look cool and maybe a watchmen. but only if you are god with your water changes. if your gonna slack then only do the clowns + CUC

ok well i would stop using that cuz its not really the best quality. i would buy yourself a go RO unit(only if your serios about this hobby). you can also just used distilled water. about $.99 per gallon still not bad. LFS sell it anywhere from $.30-1.500 for RO water. very good quaity. now for...

i have(well most of it) one. she melted in a few spots one day when i was at work. wasnt to happy with it. i bought the refurbashed one of the bay and it didnt come with a warrenty. i wouldnt buy one again. but thats me. i never had it in the GFCI. i did have my power strip plugged into a GFCI...

i wouldnt say that your overstocked, but i wouldnt add any more fish. you have a very heavy bio-load for a 10g. i know that i do a WC 2 times a week after getting my reading after i added my 2 clowns. what kind of filter are you running. if your no happy with the filter i would definatly...

well first off what type of water are you using for top offs? then we can get into your new tank. i just set up a 10g so i could basically walk you threw it.

Mbos- i went to the "Co" today and saw some nice bagged black sand. it was that "live" sand thats like $40.00 per bag of 20#'s and it looked nice. i didnt think i would like back so much but it really didnt look to bad. nice choice

API is a good kit to start with. but if your looking for a really long term no money spaired kit. sulfrite(i cant spell it) but they are like $+20.. each kit. i think the Ph is like $19.99 and everythign else is like $22-26.99 range. very good kit but very expensive to buy all at once.

i tryed one a few months back. i tought it might be cool to be able to look at the little thing and know everything was n check. after 1 week i threw it out. it was saying my tank was a 6.8 when i was at 8.2(Ph pen i got free from work) it was made for SW, not the FW version so i thought it...

for my i found a chepo flouresent and used that for about 6 months(saved up to get good light + tank was established enough for corals then) and i have to say i think my corriline grew faster with just 1 10,000k bulb then it has with the nova pro extream. but thats my case. i dont get the...

ok so then it is safe for me to just clean up the agrogate let it dry. and then put it in my tank. sounds good now i have a project that i can do soon. thanks

anybody know about the lava rock? i would like to know cuz that would be kinda cool. i have a few nice peices from my FW days that i never used. still sitting in bag that my gf's tank would really benifit from.
