If you have cured live rock then your tank may be cycled within a day or two since the rock with be already saturated with beneficial bacteria. If this is the case then put everything in and let your tank run for a week and check ammonia every couple days to see if your tank will even...

There is a difference between posting when you are madd and posting when you are concerned that someone is giving bogus advice. Or when somebody is asking a question when they know that the awnser is no. I would think as a vet your skin would be tougher than paper. I guess by how much I hurt...

As much as I hate to say, you do have a point:p

Welcome to the board. I think that the most important thing is the type of system you want. Do you want a simple fish only (FO). Do you want live rock (LR), a combination of both or do you want a reef tank. Do you want everything that it takes for every tupe of coral or what it takes for...

Another option that you may have is the Glacier water machines. The water is RO/micron/UV/charcoal/ and yada yada yada. The price is only 25 cents a gallon and the water is extremely pure. The PH is right around 7.3 which is pretty close to pure. I just fill a couple 5 gallon jugs every...

9fishers. When have you ever asked for advice in your last 7 post where you were treated harshly. I read every thread that you have replied to or started and you were catered to with great advice in every one. Beattyr. You probably just mentioned the tang just to mention and that's fine...

It may be a closed loop but if you ever sprung a leak in the lower half of your piping then you would loose a ton of water. The higher the drains are the safer you would be.

After looking at the dry goods and reading all of the bad rapp ( well deserved I think ) of rio's I am surprised that this site sells rio's. This thread is not a complaint by any means I just would think they would sell a pump with a better repp on their own boards.

B/A/O right for the powerheads.

His questions where awnsered. He/ She was advised not to get an angel, a tang, and was told lights and supplimental feedings are big things. My point was after six months on the board and almost 100 post I find it hard to believe that Beattyr would ask about a tang when every other post on this...

I do think the last owner was living in midevil times and you just new no better. I guess we will forgive Thomas for not jumping to conclusions and heaven forbid you should thank him for wanting as much info as he could get before giving advice.:eek:

I actually wish I could trade my 1200's for some 900's but I am to cheap to buy new ones until my 1200's die. I must admit it took me more than two minutes when I looked it up awhile back;) :D

Did the people you are hiring setup the tank for you? The reason why I ask is because if the tank was part of a bigger reef that was well matured then you may not have any problems and if the manderin was from an established tank and was eating unatural fare then the manderin as well should be...

After being on the board for a year you ask about a Tang in your 37 gallon tank, and you say even a smaller yellow tang. You either are pulling peoples legs or have the shortest memory available. Now if you actually don't realize that a yellow tang does not stay small and probably will not do...

The 900's put out only 65 gallons less an hour, run cooler, and only use 8 watts instead of 21 watts. I would go with the 900's. Plus at only 18 bucks each, three 900's will only cost 14 bucks more than 2 1200's and you will have more water flow from more areas in side the tank.

Since you bought cured rock then you cycle may be non existance. The cured rock has the beneficial bacteria already so mix up some salt water and swish the live rock around before it goes into the display tank to knock off any gunk that may be on the rock. Your cycle should be exremely short...

If you are reading ammonia then do not throw in fish so they can get ammonia burns and spike the levels even more. If you have rock then your rock( biological filter ) may have been able to handle the nitrite right off the bat since it was live rock when you put it in the tank. Give your tank...

I used a miter box on my first stand. And when i did my 125 gallon stand I broke down and bought a $90.00 compound miter saw at lowes. It worked so much nicer because I could shave the trim down a tiny bit at a time until the trim fit perfectly. I figured that since I saved hundreds on the...

Beaslbob. I opoligize for my response. I took yours as a slam.

Beaslbob. Here is some constructive critisizm. You don't have to quote every thread that you reply to. You were the first reply. Who else do you think people think you are replying to? Daniel. Your setup sounds good to go. your ten gallon won't supply much nutrients to the sump so don't be...
