Seriously, if you just sit at your computer and research saltwater aquarium basics for a few hours, all of your questions will be answered and you will have a much better understanding of whats really going on in your tank, because you figured it out for yourself. Look at the archive threads and...

you do not need a plumber to install an RO unit.... Unless your planning on pulling the feed from a pipe in the wall behind your tank and routing all sorts of lines and installing an auto top off; that is just ridiculous. Get a "sink diverter valve" and thread it in to your kitchen/preffered...

Im pretty sure that is a recent picture you saw and that the child is now around the age of 15? For all we know that ugly maid could have been smoking hot 15 years ago.....

bummer

Hi All, So i bought a Red Sea wave Master Pro off of Craigslist a few weeks back (risky i know) and it does not seem to be working. The thing is i'm not quite sure if the unit is broken or its just user error..... When i plug it in, all the lights on the front panel flash and go through the...

I swore by Tropic Marin for years, then in October 2010 I bought a bad batch and it really screwed up my tank for a while before I could track down that it was actually my salt mix that was causing the problems. I had used Tropic Marin for so long with such great success, the last thing i...

Check Your Magnesium Level Sweet tank by the way

Old bulbs will add to an algae problem. How old are your bulbs? If more than 12 months i would replace them. Check your magnesium levels. I struggled endlessly with hair algae until i started dosing magnesium. *** Now some people may disagree with my next statement but take it as you will*** I...

Dont do a wet dry... research nitrate factories because without continuous maintenance that's what a wet/dry will turn in to. Set up a sump (either bought or homemade) that accommodates a refugium with deep sand bed and macro algae, a section for a skimmer and a section for your return pump. Do...

Read Read Read and do as much research as you can!! Google is your best friend, this website is a great place for advice but you have to do your homework first. I have had a drilled 29G with homemade fuge and a deep sand bed for the past few years (my first SW tank). I just recently priced out a...

I searched for a while and cannot find the thread i am looking for, i was hoping someone might have it bookmarked... Its a fairly detailed DIY Metal Halide HQI write up about you can use halogen light sockets and wire up your own HQI ballasts/sockets/bulbs. It also covers which halogen sockets...

should work.... you might want to use a "Y" joint instead of a "T" on the drain line for increased flow.

Watch the commercial for the new Iphone that drops at the end of the month and you will be mad that you bought the Droid..........

dont waste money buying 5 gallon jugs or RO. A unit pays for itself very quickly, especially if your tank evaporates like mine... you will also have drinking water that is better than any britta filter will ever get you.

brine shrimp is not a good food to feed. Angels need sponge and algae in their diet. As far as shrimp go I would recommend PE Mysis, or an all around food like Rods Food. Do some research on Bi-Color Angel dietary needs and check out what your LFS (or this site) has to offer.

Break that thing up into some organized paragraphs and sentences.... I gurantee it will increase the amount of response to your post.

There is no reason not to have a sump. Deep sand bed/refugium is extremely beneficial. Increased oxygenation of the water flowing and having more surface area air contact Nutrient reduction from macro algae less algae in display tank because it grows in the fuge instead. The list is almost...

My neighbor used to use a bow and arrow with a thin, light weight rope attached to it. Kind of like a harpoon. If you stay still enough carp will just slowly swim by eating off the bottom of the lake... He would plant them in his garden for fertilizer. Probably not what you were looking...
