this isn't cheap - that's for sure

Ryan, why don't you want to do salt water? That looks like it would make a great sea horse tank.

Is a sump the same as a wet/dry filter?

Does anyone have pictures of green coraline algae? I have purple growing in my tank and some that looks green on the glass. I don't know what it looks like though. I want to make sure it isn't anything bad. :thinking:

Yes. When I switched from cc to sand, I did half of my 55 at a time. When I finished the tank my royal gramma disappeared for 48 hours. I have no idea where it was. I looked everywhere including moving rock. It finally showed up and looked fine. :joy:

Those pictures are great!! Is that all one tank or is it several tanks?

I won't buy fish from my LFS since I started getting fish and inverts here. Everything has been super.

Are you using organic or just regular spinach from the grocery store?

I was at the LFS yesterday. I told the woman I knew someone who had a blue hippo, 2 yellow tangs, a trigger and clown in a 55 gal. She said, "That's ok. Filtration has come a long way." I thought, since when, this morning.

I was using 10 gallons of water for changes plus another 4 for top-off. Each gallon weighs 8 lbs. That's 112 lbs up 2 flights of stairs every two weeks. Plus I had to carry it from the store. I guess I'm just weak but that got real old after a couple of months plus by bulging muscles weren't...

Those are the kinds of problems I worried about. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be worth the extra money to buy a new tank. Any other thoughts?

This is just my opinion but, if you don't have anything living in it yet, I don't think it would hurt anything. Good luck.

There is a 90 gallon tank with oakstand and accessories listed in my newspaper today for $440. Anyone have advise about what to ask besides what accessories come with it? :notsure:

I googled and bookmarked. It's definitly a good price.

Yes, that's what I was asking. I ended up flushing my anemone so it wouldn't pollute my tank. I'm not too far from Syracuse.

That does seem to good to be true. There isn't any contact info either. I would like to know if anyone orders though.

Hops - What kind of lights do you have. I had a anemone that looked just like yours on 5/7 at 7:55. The LFS never said a word about lighting. It was when I just started in the hobby. It never recovered and I had to pull it from the tank. I am happy to hear that yours is doing better.

I would like to know about the effect on cyano, diatoms, and poop too! :jumping:

Can you use your hydrometer or refractometer to figure out the first batch?
