Yeah, no way on the cheap stand. You won't ever want to move your tank and risk disturbing your nitrates. Undoubtedly you will have salt creep and water all over that particleboard which will destroy it and you'll lose everything. The #1 rule of saltwater is to never skimp on anything. (#2 is a...

just the clown for now. you'll probably be more interested in crabs and other inverts than fish. t5? small version of your typical flourescent 4ft old school light. it's much better and more expensive. You don't necessarily need that for a fish only tank.

well well well.... I'm in lawrence over here and we do have some help for you in wichita. salt - city dot org. KCRA is onto you now lol save the black sand!!!! there's a local reefer that's looking for a lot of it and he'll probably trade you something if you don't like it. you're going to have...

Nano Air Wood Protein Skimmer search on e, it's like $15. the only way to adjust is with water level but in a 5 i'd imagine you'll have no problems with that. oh and i don't think it's necessary whatsoever on a nano. it'd be so much easier to just have an 10 with mixed water and a powerhead. a...

no tap water, yes on the 5gal bucket of salt you'll need it carib-sea is great stuff and will help your cycle go a little quicker, stay away from crushed coral you can mix the ro water with your salt in the empty tank, after that pre-mix it. or you can usually buy saltwater at a lfs. be careful...

Thanks for posting these pics nahham. Take as many as possible, I love seeing the very early nuts and bolts of a project of this size.

if you're ats woody, get ahold of henry. i'll help you out. otherwise, post a location as cannisters take personal attention to figure out.

I will never put down a pit bull. They are wonderful and protective dogs. How many of you know that most of them are deaf due to their breeding? They are easily surprised, how many of you knew that as a child. Educate your children. A chain does nothing for a pit, neither does a collar. Their...

you fail at being a basketball fan. North Carolina and Kansas play tomorrow in the final four.

big business owns all the power in the US right now. as much as we have done to spread democracy and capitalism across the world we have effectively screwed ourselves. the world took our advice and now sells us everything; we produce little to nothing. sure the voting right could change policy...

don't drink and post. don't mention any competitor sites as this is primarily a store. no religion debates. threads that get off subject with two people arguing are sometimes locked up. don't bring up threads that are years old. there's more i'm sure.

no playground sand is salt safe anymore. people say southdown, but they started shipping mixed pallets of thier new and old stuff and it's all new now at home depot. ditch the idea and get some aragonite from a pet store. it's either that or completely break down your tank a couple months from...

another trick is to mark where your little bubble is on the top of the u-tube. get yourself an airvalve, drill a hole and put it in. connect your air hose to that and suck until all air is out but not in your mouth, close valve and be done.

75gal tank is dirt cheap. you've already made a few mistakes by using crushed coral, doing it again, and putting a lion in a small tank. realize that you're going to spend more money than a small tank before you learn what you're doing here. see how deep the water is before you dive

they change color as they age. i grew up a ford mustang fanatic and i liken them to the mystic paint color. they change in different lights. adults sometimes look dark green, dark purple, or even black. the young ones in a bright flour light will be the sea green you see under the pics on this...

those cheapos tend to wear down the plastic push pins. i run $20 timers wired directly into the circuit. they'll last forever.

maybe i'm old school, but i can't bring myself to say it's all good. when your fish die you will find trace copper in them just like you find lead in our blood. differing levels are proven to shorten their lives. as far as this particular tank goes, do you really know what was used to bond the...

pm sent. 'bout to head on to bed, yawn.
