I've heard of people feeding puffers live ghost shrimp.

I'm glad I don't work the customer service desk at your electric company!!! Let us know what they say tomorrow.

bergamer - Mine would be 48" as well (standard 55). Is yours made by CoraLife? If so, any issues or problems with it? If you don't mind me asking, do you remember what you paid? I found it for $270 after shipping. anyone . . . Are there any clams that could be kept under this lighting or no...

I do. The tank is cleaner and they are better fed. :D

Originally posted by JacknJill i know im really pushing that in my 55 at 13 inches, becuase my tang has started to grow like crazy since he started to eat seaweed strips more. i might have to trade him in soon What kind of tang did you get? I was thinking of getting one and trading him...

Originally posted by Snipe that is what I was thinking JacknJill I can have around 11 inches in my 55 lol 10 in a 29 is outragouse :scared: There was a thread earlier debating this issue. One of the moderators, BangGuy I believe, posted that while 1"/5 gallons is a good general rule, it can...

Try using the "search" function and look through some old threads. I found this one interesting because she posted some "after" pictures, the tank was so large, and she lives close to where I grew up. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...65#post1097365

Lookin' good! I too like the little cave/tunnel in the middle. Can I make a suggestion? Keep in mind that I think your tank is your tank . . . do whatever you want with it if it makes you happy. I think you'll get tired of looking at that powerhead in the front left corner. It looks like...

hydro, Depending on the amount of rock, get an adequately sized Rubbermaid trashcan. I used a 20 gallon for 45 pounds of rock and it worked out perfectly. I had mine pre-mixed with salt when the rock arrived. I unpacked the rock and added it to the trashcan. You should have a powerhead for...

Originally posted by Kriss K I can take it out, put it in a bucket with some tank water and let it sit :notsure: Sorry . . . I missed this posting on your thread. I'd put a powerhead and heater in the bucket too.

Originally posted by Snipe If you have a precycled tank "that is what you have" I would suggest doing no more than 10lbs a week until you got what you wanted. I cycled my 55 gallon tank with 45 pounds of LR, then ordered another 45. I cured it myself in a 20 gallon Rubbermaid trashcan and...

Originally posted by Snipe Distilled or RO water will work. I got lucky my local supermarkt "town&country" has it for .38 per gallon. Its only $0.25/gallon here! :D

Originally posted by vito525 It is 75% cured and perfect for my tank (1.5 lbs). Vito, what do they mean by 75% cured? Regardless of what that means, you should cure it before adding it to a tank with any inhabitants. There will be die-off from shipping and adding the LR may start another...

Good choice Jay. SeaClone is crap IMO.

Thank you both!! :D

I'm ready to upgrade the lighting on my 55 to start keeping a few different corals. I'm most interested in keeping different zoos, a torch, and hammerhead. Does this sound sufficient to anyone who knows: 2x 65w coralife 10,000K daylight 2x 65w coralife actinic compact fluorescent lamp 3x 3/4w...

Read this to start . . . https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/show...threadid=80022 Welcome to the boards! :D

The complete hood and lights I posted are $250. Plug and play. You are saying metal hallides "cost roughly the same"?? From where?

Its funny that this thread is on the board today. On my lunch hour I was reading The Conscientious Marine Aquariist (sp??) and the author said that the salt should be put back in the tank. I hadn't heard of doing that before either. As DVS said, you want to make sure no large piece(s) end up...

Ok, I don't actually want to cook any of my fish, but I was hoping to get someone's attention . . . :happyfish I'm ready to upgrade the lighting on my 55 to start keeping a few different corals. I'm most interested in keeping different zoos, a torch, and hammerhead. Does this sound sufficient...
