I live in Dubuque also and picked up a good nano cube a few months back from the quad cities for a decent price. They sometimes have used ones, like the one I got. haven't seen any for sale in DBQ lately.

It's not a great deal after the other 2 times this setup has been sold. Check back and you'll see it's been done on this site before and also on ***l. Buyer beware as a friend had to take legal action to get money back for skimmer never mailed. Caveat Emptor!

I did some researching here and I cannot seem to find a definitive answer to this worm my wife saw. This was the best picture she captured, I will try to find something better. Does it look like a bristleworm at all??

you might get lucky. I had already put two 4 striped damsels in my tank to help get it going after I foudn out people said they would terrorize the tank. So far they are the most scared fish I have in the tank. I also have 2 clowns, 1 yellow tang, and a jawfish....they all get along fine...

Yeah and I sympathize with the whole charges things, but it says on their shipping info there are these surcharges. I know it sucks to have to order $79 worth of stuff, and then tack on another $13. But it could be worse. Guys I didn't mean to sound all wound up. But the gas and surcharge...

You guys need to settle down. You go to a lot of other online live goods stores and you will pay a minimum of $20-40 for shipping...in addition to a surcharge and gas surcharge. Another big store I order from charges a $35 handling fee, and 10% of your total order, plus extra fees for extra...

Those specials only last a short period of time. I also got the yellow tang for $1.99, 2 months ago.

I got this acrylic stuff from the hardware store, Laspar I believe or something along those lines. It was gloss white so it helps reflect the light and it holds up to heat and saltwater. And no need for poly to add on it.

Yes anything to help my fuge grow a little better. I in fact visit the Quad Cities every once i awhile for the Aquatic Environments store....much better selection than up here. My e-mail is docjason2@yahoo.com And so far nothing to trade. I just bought my first coral from down there this week...

I am looking to get some good critters to help my fuge and stir up the sand in my main tank. I've heard spaghetti worms and bristle worms can help, and pods and stars. So if anyone is willing to part with some good stuff I'm looking. Thanks.

Just finished my canopy and installed the lights....now my question is how long is a good amount of time to leave them on? I want to leave them on enough to help carolline and corals, but not enough were my electric company starts salavating. I have 2 6' VHO (320 W) and 3 250W MH. I was...

Read books. They have a lot of good starter info in them. The Conscientious Marine Aquarist: Robert Fenner is a good one. I also picked up The New MArine Aquarium: Michael Paletta, Saltware Aquariums for Dunmmies, and an Idiots guide to Saltwater Aquariums. All are good starters. Once you...

Can't you add a center brace but not attach it to the stand? Just have it in there for support but be removable to view the entire tank?

E-mail me @ docjason2@yahoo.com I just finished putting together my 125 FOWLR and have enough expansion for reef. I have an exel spreadsheet of what I bought and how much it costs. Also I can give some help in DIY as I built my stand and will soon be starting on my canopy.

What they mean by it is those casters are not designed to hold the weight of your tank. Your 75 gallon tank can weigh over 600 lbs in water alone. People have thought of it before, but rationale took over and realized it's not safe. Trust me...it may look fine now, but someday you will come...

Don't worry you'll be ok, we all make mistakes. I've read so many poeple make so many mistakes on here. My biggest piece of advice is get a book, Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Robert Fenner. You may find it at a local book store or your LFS or can get it cheap through Amazon. I love that...

There always has to be a first! So you can lead the way to let us know. I am interested in this too so I'd love to hear about any results.

Wow no kidding. I have had my 125 up only a few months and have some snails and hermit crabs in mine. Still got a few damsels in QT, waiting 4 weeks before I think about putting them in. It's great that things have worked out for you so far, but don't push your luck. Just hope it works out.

Welcome to the hobby as I did the same thing your son has. I had a FW up until this year. I was discouraged by the complexity and price of the hobby until I found this board. I read here for over a year before I even purchased a tank. The great thing about this place is you almost never have...

I tried the all in one kit you can buy at *****....needless to say I got really frustrated when I couldn't tell the difference between the two colors. I only use salifert test kits now. I got mine from this site and on ----. Yeah they are a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for...
