You can get LR and LS online from many websites, including this one! sometimes its cheaper getting it online tan at the LFS I would recommend doing dome research before "diving in"

first you want LS, about 4 inches of it. IMO CC is not a good substrate. In that small of a reef ou are limited as far as bioload. you should limit yourself to 1 fish. You will not want to add corals for a while. You should also get LR instead of the Porous Rock.

it will work to cycle the tank just fine.

Yep, i remember mine took a good week to completely clear. I recall poly-fiber filter pads worked well with removing the small particles. noticed a difference overnight. but a lil patience and it will settle on its own. the small particles will help you in the long run. I would have not...

I have marshall island and vanisii in my reef and love them both. very interesting shapes sizes and makes curves and caves easy to make.

as long as your air is turned up and the water is circulating and there is air cycloning thru the center tube, you should be allright. How long has the tank been setup, there may not be anything to skim out of the water, or you may need to give the skimmer a little while to go thru the break-in...

blueking, sd sand is your best choice, if you vant get it, check out the big online auction, or www.purearagonite.com I think its ok for me to post it, because they only sell sand and SW fish does not sell dry sand. Sharks, please correct me if I'm wrong.

SD sand is 100% aragonite sand and is an excellent substrate for a reef tank.

coral beuties are nice, and you might consider 86ing the damsels for credit at your LFS. they get agressive as they get larger. plus they ate goldfish to the SW wold, and you could get better fish.

if you are going to do it, do it right. although the sand will not really hurt the fish, since you will be moving rockwork around and such, If it were me, I would book my fish into a 3 day stay in a hospital tank. you want to get out as much of the CC as you can. I dont know about "breaking...

if you do opt for a chiller consider using a dorm refrigerator with pvc tubing wound through it. you can usually pick one up and do it yourself for a lot less than a chiller unit.......just a thought i saw it on a website a while back and thought it was a good idea, a lot better than payinf...

Just remember that you get what you pay for. Red Sea makes goos skimmers. check into a berlin classic or the prism.

those should help, any other questions would best be answered by searching the equip page.

i wouldnt sweat it too much either. a lil trates wont hurt much, I would do a 20% H2O change and keep and eye on it.

the odd thing is, the pumps impeller and the replacement look identical, do you know what the problem is with the impeller?

if you have a DSB, get a detrivore kit and steer clear from horsehoe crabs and sand stars. they will eat up the critters in your DSB.

also, I agree with salisbury, except I would add the sand before the water to reduce the cloudiness. I feel you will get better results that way.

420: if you are going for a DSB, get twice as much sand. my 30gal took 100lbs to get a 4" bed. As for the cycle, you need to introduce bacteria to the tank. I WOULD NOT try to cycle a rotting shrimp without any type of biofiltration. I would get the substrate and rock in and then just feed...

Welcome to the board! Did you put the rock directly into the tank or scrub it? did the rock look like that straight out of the box? If you are unhappy with it, I would recommend contacting them to let them know about it. Please give us a little more info on the history of the rock. I have...
