    bio balls

    Originally posted by Birdy I would recommend a refugium though. Refugiums are nice but if you don't have the bioload to support a refugium then you are just wasting money, but if you plan on using a sump then a refugium is easily incorporated and probably is a better choice than bioballs...

    Can I take shroom off rock and place it on new one?

    If you make a quick clean cut there should not be much slime. Once you move that rock out of the tank the mushrooms will close up really quick and then you won't be able to cut them. You will have to saw them which will produce alot more waste even after the rock is put back into the tank than...

    Can I take shroom off rock and place it on new one?

    Any slime should be removed by your protein skimmer if you have one. It is much easier to cut them if you leave them in the tank and they are extended

    Tahoe has very hard snow and the powder is usually very shallow and very wet. I grew up outside of Tahoe and after skiing in Colorado tahoe was a real dissapointment.

    Help with new tank setup? Pleeeeease?

    Originally posted by Birdy . Another concern that I have is that if you use mainly baserock at first you will need at least one of those set's of biowheels for about 6month. Because it takes 6mo to a year for all that baserock to become live and be able to mantain the biological filtration in...

    Help with new tank setup? Pleeeeease?

    I have been in the hobby for 5 years and after trying many fads and approaches here is what I would advise. Use only one magnum 350 and don't use the biowheels. Fill it up with only half the charcoal reccomended to keep it from packing. You will have rock and sand for your bio filtration so...

    Tap Water

    Originally posted by Birdy . As well as temperature. If it is a small water change (10% or so) then getting the make up water up to room temperature and adding it to the tank slowly ( over a couple minutes ) then you will be fine. If you have a fish only tank then tap water should be okay...
