I work at a water store so I get my DI water free. Have you thought about trying a water store near you? It may be more expensive then Wal-mart but atleast you know your getting RO/DI water. They will deliver it right to your door or if your close to the water store you can go there and get...

Sweeeeeeeet tank!!!

Woooooooooooooooooooooow!!!!!!

WOW...what everybody above said! Awesome!!!!

KUDOS to you for saying something and DOING something about it. Please keep us posted as you go along because I'm in need of some good news (hopefully) for once. How many of us has seen something like you have and did not say anything? I know it's a tuff thing to do but once you get into this...

Sorry to hear about your Foxface. When I get my tank going that is the fish that I plan on being my "center peice". I have a blind Siberian Husky that after a couple of days all of his other sences really increased and he does great! I know I'm talking about a dog but I was wondering how big...

Thanks for your input guys. I think my floor would hold up the load of the tank as it's a 2 year old home but I have this black/ some say brown cloud that seems to be following me for the past 20+yrs. So, I just wanted some input and see what some of my SWF friends may say about the situation...

Hi all, I have yet to get my tank going as I'm taking things very slow as money is tight. But my question is this...can a 120 be set up on the first floor and the only place that I can put it will run with the floor trust not across them. Can I put a couple of poles up in the basement right...

Just wondering what your opinions are on these two types of LR? Will the Tonga have the same colors as Fiji? Which would you prefer and why? Thank you!

I here you on not having the money to buy LR all at once but it's one of, if not the most important thing you'll need. Like everyone else is saying buy some base rock from your LFS then buy some LR and put it on top or next to the base rock. You can get some good/cheap LR on a site where you...

Hello to all my SW friends, I'm planning on buying (2) 45lbs LR from SWF and wondered if they will pack heat packs with the LR. I live in Michigan where its anywhere from 0 to 32F everyday. Thank you for any info you might have.

LR looks great...I'm planning on ordering (2) of the 45-50LB box from here in a couple of weeks. When you cycle a tank I don't think that you want the skimmer running. I would think that defeats the purpose and will take the tank longer to cycle. You do want everything else running though.

Well I bought a battery powered one that feeds every 12 hours. Was gone for a week and came home to dead fish. The damn thing poured all the food in at once and it just sat there killing my Coral Beauty and a Damsel I am SOOOOOOOO pissed/ sad! I wouldn't buy an auto feeder unless you're going...

OKay, I try and do research through the "posts" here at the forum before I ask but I'm finding pieces of info that is starting to confuse me...and no that is not hard to do. I see that most people here say to get rid of the bio-balls and replace them with what? I think I've seen a filter sock...

Hello again, Post #3 yes I'm moving up to "OLDER NEWBIE" very soon. Anyway here's what I have going on with my SWF hobby. About a year ago my buddy gave me a used 75gal tank and I was pumped. I bought everything I thought I needed with his help and away I went. I started with my substrate...

Hello, As you can see I am new to the boards here at SWF.com. I have a 120gal. FOWLR that is not set up yet (I do have a Coral Beauty and a Blue damsel in a 20gal w/lr...they were in a 75gal. but its a long story). My plan is to buy all the equipment I need before I set up the tank and start...

Thank you for the info. guys. First question on many, many, many more to come. Plus: This site ROCKS!!!!

Hello, As you can see I am new to the forum and to the hobby as well. I have read some post and noticed that a lot of people say not to use crushed coral as a subsrtate. Now the LFS around here says to go with the CC, sand then live sand as the last layer. Here's my question why is CC bad to...
