Ditto, fishy all the time

Hi fishboy, I would do a forum search for 'Sea Clone' if you are really interested in this product and see previous posts and feedback regarding them. Try a search for 'hang on skimmer' for more general results with other brands. You can get alot of information really fast that way. Just...

I have heard about the aquarium society, but I didn't know about their forum. Thanks for the info. I will check it out. -Christine

I got the Reefkeeper Typhoon II. Its a five stage, one particulate filter, two carbon filters, a reverse osmosis filter, and a deionizing filter. This one also hase valves to flush the RO membrane with low pressure water and bypass the DI membrane for system flushing (supposed to help...

Currently, I am bouncing back and forth between A World of Fish and Something Fishy. Both in Richfield, about two blocks from each other on 66th, between Portland ave and Bloomington ave. They are both OK, TOTALLY depends on who you talk to at the store when you are there. Sean at a World of...

Coach, I am new at this, but have been studying books and this board for a little while. It seems to me that the sand that you have in your tank is the same kind that you would use in a deep sand bed. (JJ, CC= crushed coral? Where?) I would guess that you would just need to add more sand, not...

:p

Hello, I am new to the hobby and am just setting up a 125 gallon tank. I bought a Dolphin DP 900 pump and set it up with water, etc this week. The pump is very strong and extremely quiet. We can't hear it at all. We did intall it as a submersible, inside the sump. I don't know how it would...

Thanks JJ. I have so many questions as I am getting started. What would I do without this place? My husband and I just laugh at all the work and $$ and stare into our tank full of nothing but water so far... ;)

Hey guys, as long as you were on the topic... I just set up my 125 gallon tank and filled it with DI/RO water yesterday. When I turn on the skimmer (new Turboflotor 1000 in sump), it makes really coarse looking bubbles. I set it up with the Rio 2100 that came with it, and changed the impeller...

I got mine off of ----, but the company I bought it from is here: www.airwaterice.com It really couldn't be easier. Super easy. Just make sure to order the garden hose/ utility faucet adapter with it. I got the 5-stage filtration RO/DI system for less than $200 including shipping. Good Luck...

Thank you Ryebread. Great Job! Certainly easier than scrolling through the 'Getting to know the people behind the posts' thread. What an attractive crowd! -Christine :)

I am new to this too. I am setting up my 125 gallon tank right now, and was thinking of what to do with the back as well. Following some posts about the subject, I tried a black plastic back (cut down the sides to fit), last night. My first try looked pretty dumb. I used Target brand Lawn...

Ok! I finally have all of my equipment and plumbing assembled, have the RO/DI system working. Only problem is that I am woefully depleted of cash for the moment. :( Question: Can I fill up the tank, sump and refugium with salt water and let the whole system run for a while before adding...

OK Here Goes..... This is me and my husband after a day of waterskiing. Isn't Minnesota Beautiful in the summer? OK, so its only for 3 months.... :cool: -Christine

Hi Guys, I want to post a pic, but apparently all of my file are 'too big'. These are just regular photos that were scanned. I have tried saving them as all different file types which hasn't helped. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Christine

Very Cool! Great photos. I don't even have water in my tank yet. It will be a long time before I get to where you guys are...... Good thing I am very patient. My other pets taught me that. Especially my parrot. Lose your cool and swear, and she might learn it and throw it back at you next...

KMatysek, I am a marine aquarium newbie, for sure. But I am a plant and fungal biologist by training. It is very common for many types of plants and fungi to initiate a reproductive phase in response to stress. In fact, this is a tool that scientists use when trying to force reproduction, in...

MarineMarty, Nice. If only I had the $$$ to get the reef ready Oceanic. I hope that I can set up this 125 Natures View Oceanic (not reef ready, using 2 overflow boxes) without pulling all of my hair out. I think I am getting close..... to finishing the tank, not my hair!! -Christine :rolleyes:

Broomer5, Thanks for the ideas, I will play will the pieces of this puzzle tomorrow morning and see where I get. Space is so tight in a 20 gallon tall tank. I hadn't given real considerations to lenthwise baffles, but I think I could figure something out. The best part is that I have some...
