    Poll How did you fill your saltwater aquarium?

    Okay, so here is my question.... I have a 125 gal, fish only with a few inverts....so which is the lesser of the evils? I don't have (nor can I afford at the moment) an R/O unit, so I am forced to go to Wal-Mart and buy gallon jugs of distilled water for my water changes. This causes me to put...

    Best skimmer for 125 gal.

    Thanks Grog! I had been looking at the ASM G4 this afternoon, and I kept thinking...."how am I gonna fit one of these in my wet/dry???" and making one work outside of my wet/dry is something that I'm not sure if I could figure out. If there is a HOB skimmer that will work, that will be so much...

    Best skimmer for 125 gal.

    Thanks! Found it! I had peeked at this very thread earlier today, but hadn't had much of a chance to read it in depth because of my Christmas present wrapping duty today. (Yes, I wait until the day before and then wrap my tail off all day...) I am still leaning toward the Aqua C Remora Pro with...

    Purple or Yellow Tang?

    Isn't the purple tang more predisposed to HLLE than a yellow?

    Best skimmer for 125 gal.

    I've read a lot of good things about Aqua C skimmers. What is the difference between the Aqua C Urchin Pro and the Aqua C Remora Pro?

    Best skimmer for 125 gal.

    I'm sorry, I know this question is a repeat, but when I do a search for "skimmer" I get a HUGE return and just can't seem to find what I am looking for. What is the best skimmer for a 125 gallon FOWLR (plus a few inverts) in the $200-250-300 range? I run a wet/dry filter, so either an in-sump or...

    OT: Just how did you become Marine Aquarist? :)

    For me, it all started when I won a goldfish at the fair. I was 17 or 18. Now I am 36. I took several years off from the hobby, and boy did things change while I was gone. What???? No more UG filters?????

    New to DIY sumps/refugiums...converting wet/dry?

    Yes, it helps a lot! Thanks. I think I agree with you...based on what I've read and seen, I don't think my wet/dry would be big enough for a 125 if I converted it, even if I built a separate refugium. Bob A., I found melevesreef.com last night through some searches, and it's great. It gives me a...

    New to DIY sumps/refugiums...converting wet/dry?

    Thanks.....! I have been reading a lot about removing the bio balls from the wet/dry and replacing them with live rock rubble. What is your opinion on that? If I did that, where would I put the rubble...in the same trickle area as the bio balls or in the bottom where it would be covered with...

    New to DIY sumps/refugiums...converting wet/dry?

    Hi all.... I have a 125 gallon FOWLR tank. I run a wet/dry that is rated for a 175 gallon tank, so it is the larger version, but right now I'm unsure of it's demensions. I have been doing a lot of reading about converting it to a sump/refugium, but I am still clueless as to how to go about doing...

    Dear Santa.....

    Hey again Keri I don't think anyone was trying to say that they were worse off than you....at least, I wasn't....I think that we were just trying to get you to feeling less depressed about the big scheme of things. It doesn't matter what you have as far as material goods as long as you have...

    Queen Juvi in 90?

    Jeez, I dunno about that. I have had my juvi Cortez for less than a year, and he's grown so fast that I can almost see it happening before my eyes!! ***) He was about equal to my flame angel when I first got him (who has also grown....a little) and now he dwarfs my flame and is catching up in...

    Dear Santa.....

    Hey, look on the bright side. At least you do have a skill that you can use to land a job, even if the pay isn't so great. Last year my hubby & I both lost our jobs in manufacturing, due to the downturn in the economy. With no real skills aside from assembling things, we have both decided to go...
