On a rock i was given it has 2 or 3 bright purple pea sized bubbles on them. i was looking once and they it pulsated. If you lightly tap the glass it will like puff almost. There's 2 about 2 inches apart. one has 2 white dots on it. and they both have kinda like a mouth on the very top. i...

yeah there's much better pictures later on. that's just where they started to show progress. I'm not totally on the dark side yet.haha don't have enough money for that at this time. maybe next summer once i get the FOWLR tank running stable(haven't even put water in it yet.haha) i'll start...

(this link is OLD, so i'm sure most have seen it...) but i was googleing something and came across some guy named Jeff and his Reef tank. i was totally set on doing a FOWLR tank, now i'm starting to want some coral's after seeing these great pictures.ahha http://www.notlehs.com/reef/salt5.html...

maybe that's what happen, he put some treatment in the water and it killed off the rock. i'll ask him that. I guess my idea of "live rock" is what i seen on some pictures on the sites. it shows some stuff growing out of it. there's nothing on the rock he has. it started getting neat looking...

sorry i mean it's in his fully running tank but nothing grew on it, i don't think he ever cured it. Sso i figured maybe i can cure it the same time i cure all the rock i just purchased.

ok, i have done some research on how to cure live rock(just purchased some for my new tank) and i was wondering if at the same time i could work on curing my fathers. maybe just scrub it down and stick it in the tank and leave it? but follow the curing process on the new rock only?

My father has some old live rock that's been in his tank that seems like it died off. he must have done something wrong. my question is, if i take that live rock can i follow the "how to cure live rock" info i find? and revive it? or is the live rock basically just for looks now? TY!

i'm looking for the exact same thing! trying to figure out if it's somehow to save a few bucks. so far i'm not finding any way to save any money on the T5 lighting. but it seems like the MH way you can save some money, but will this lighting work for me?

Thanks for the tip. I did see there's some t5 and t6's i didn't read the difference yet. but i'll concentrate on the t'5's The tank i bought a few years back, it came with a bunch of fresh water fish, so i ran with that until i recently moved, i traded in those fish and i'm switching over.(am...

Getting ready to do the cycle on my 150 gallon tank. getting the last few components for the tank itself. my next project is going to be lighting. I'm planing on doing a FOWLR, it's a 150 gallon tank. I'm a do it yourself kind of guy. So can someone direct me to a reliable link to start...

Maybe i'll look into building a fish cabinet next to the tank, make it the same wood tone as the tank. I'm from the detroit area of michigan.

I located some 1200 gph overflows at a decent price. So i think that'll be my direction. so now i have my tank, pump, overflows. I took my crushed coral back today and swapped it over for some sand. I have my salt, tank located. I just need to adjust the "to wall" distance for the larger...

Honestly i just started reading up on SW tanks a few days ago, and by far the following link really helped alot. read this then ask specific questions. that's the route i'm going. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/301033/101-tips-to-beginning-and-maintaining-a-saltwater-aquarium

THanks for the email Lion, With being told my mag24 will be to powerfull for the overflow i was looking at. Anyone know any plans to a do it yourself overflow? or a place to buy a monster one cheap? i'm looking but so far no luck.

Ok, found a good deal on a MAG 24. so that's out of the way. Now have to find the right size overflow. how do you know what size would be large enough for my mag 24?

ok what would be better to stick in a 40 gallon tank? Pondmaster Pond Mag 18 Pond Pump(1800 gph) Pondmaster 3000 gph Mag-Drive Waterfall they are 2 different style pumps. i guess my question is do i need a ceartin style? reading up on overflows now.
