    Fastest Way to Cycle?

    how many fish did you have at your peak. It may be that your bioload was to heavy or the fish where just to crowded and stress took it's toll. Do you use tap water or RO/DI water? If you do keep the C/C then make sure to vacumm it out during water changes to remove gunk that has been trapped.

    Large tank owners

    Most stands that are mass produced have no inner support. They are simply 3/4 inch ply wood or even MDF board with a veneer ( YIKES ). I build lots of stands and I have found that ripping 4 inch lenths of 3/4 inch plywood and them making a whole inner frame inside the main frame is more than...

    Originally posted by tony detroit Another point I would like to make is that people here do not take things for granted, they work like dogs. Have you ever worked 80hr. weeks to pay your bills before? People in other countries work 30hrs. a week and actually have the time to enjoy the finer...

    Originally posted by tony detroit Do me a favor when you get your next paycheck. Take your gross pay. Add it up. Take the total amount of taxdollars withheld and add them up. Then divide your property taxes by 12, calculate all of the taxes you pay when you purchase things at the store, and...

    coralife salt vs instant ocean salt

    I started out buying the Coralife because it was really cheap salt. I then was told by a LFS that it is known as Lobster salt because it is really only good for that. I quit using it, but just because the LFS said to and that was years ago.

    my first poll (lets see if I do it right)

    unless you throw a baseball size of frozen food in your tank the food will thaw within a minute so why would it matter if it was thawed or not. I prefer to drop a frozen cube of my own fish food so my fish can pick at the cube and get most of the food before it is blown all around the tank. I...

    The rules are there to keep you and me safe. Do you really think that kids will where seatbelts, helmets or numerous other safety items and obey safety laws if the parents don't have to. It's also a matter of money. If everyone made enough money to pay for their own medical bills 100% then I...
