i think im going to try it, i got a ton of green start polyps in my main tank so i thought that neon green would just scream in there. also would be putting in some blue/ purple mushrooms, zoos and some otherr corals, who knows. my main tank is getting overpopulated so i thought i would get a...

looks good, how is the maintnence on that sand, i heard it hard to keep clean. I was also wondering if the corals have that extra pop against the dark contrast.

whats the name of your thread

this is more of a request than a question, but i am going to be setting up another tank in my room and was wondering if anyone out there has any pics of their tank with black sand. I searched the internet for a while and cant realy land any real good pics. Any imputs or images will help.

thats what i thought also about the tempered glass but i have read a couple of times on this forum about people doing this and being succesful. Ill check out that web site and hopefully get some ideas

thats what i thought also but i keep reading about people drilling thier tanks on this forum all the time, just wondering if there is a trick to it or what.

I know that there are hole saws for drilling glass but will this break the glass on the bottom of a tank.

Just picked up a nice 39 gal octagon tank the other day and want to know if there is a way to drill holes in the bottom to connect sump for it. It is a glass tank, I was wondering if the tempered glass will shater when being cut.

When you say barebottom your talking about no sandbed correct. I will be putting this system in a 75 gal. You say you would recommend this product.

I have been roaming around the web and came across a somwhat new type of wave maker called the wave 2k. I checked around on a couple of message boards and there isnt too much information out there about this product. Even their website is somwhat shy on the decriptions. I found out the specs of...

as far as the predrilled being for reef tanks only, this is not the case. It is just a better way to get water from the main tank to your lower sump. you can use these types of tank for any aquarium, fresh or saltwater.

In my opinion save up the cash and get the predrilled tank, this is two holes drilled in the bottom of the tank wich allows you to use an assortment of filtration options (refugium, canister filter, or a seconed tank under main tank) this is a great idea because you eliminate those ugly hang on...

I can afford the 75g right now and eventually I want a 200g or bigger, but that's going to be probably 2-3 years from now, maybe even 4 years that is what im going to be doing after i graduate from college. On a good note you can just transfer over all your livestock to the 200 eventually and...

you might be able to find some used equipment and tank for about that but very little rocks and only one or two fish. Not to switch the topic but i have about 6,000 in my tank and only have about 2/3 of what i want. But dont let the price fool you, once you get the tank it becomes very addicting...

you can try and add some powerheads to keep the water moving to cut down the build up a little but otherwise i think most of all just have to clean our tanks. just part of the hobby

i did that and i have to say that i regret it. only for the fact that i outgrew the 75 gal in months. If you can only afford the 75 i would go ahead and upgrade, but if you can afford to go big then i would save up and just buy a big tank and call it done for a couple of years. just my opinion.
