When I took my first 2 tanks out of commission, it really made me sick to think about the thousands of dollars wasted. But it was so fun while they lasted. So now that I'm back in the hobby its go big or go home!

That is very cool!

Great info. Being rectangular probably isn't the best for sharks or rays but its what I have and Im hoping to make the best of it. Off the top of my head, I wanna say its 7' x 2'? Any thoughts on compatibility with a stonefish or scorpion?

Well I have a really great 250 reef aquarium. Love it. However I bought it used and the furniture is kind of fugly. The wood has been painted black and is peeling, the hood has odd holes, nails, rot, mold etc. So I'm swapping it out for a nice new 300 and planning to refinish the 250 furniture...

The added "space" shouldn't change anything but the water level.

Mushrooms also spread easily, so you might start in one spot and they populate throughout on their own. They really don't require any care.

Awesome. Do you have any more pictures or info?

Exactly. 20 lbs at my LFS = $100

Well I take it this skimmer is fairly old. It was really dirty when I got it. However no pump was hooked up. I did find a NIB pump in all the junk that came with the tank, but I haven't been able to get it primed. I'm not sure this is even the right pump. I don't even know the model number and...

Those results were from the 6th. Here are results from just now: PH 8.2 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0!! Calcium 520 KH 161.1 Phosphate 1.0 Salinity 1.023 temp 81 I couldn't believe the nitrates went to zero, so I retested. Sure enough, ZERO. Very happy about that I noticed after I bought the...

I posted a newbee thread already, but I figured I'd make this one more specific. 250g, purchased and moved last weekend. I tested everything two days after the move and here are the results; PH 8.0 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 80 Calcium 520 KH...

So the shrooms were free! Sweet.

I'd have to pick the longnose hawkish I had. That little guy was so awesome. He wagged his tail and had the personality of a dog sometimes when you came around. Super cool.

Also, it has 4 T5 bulbs and 3 metal halide lamps down the middle. What cycle times and bulb types do you recommend for each. And my main objective right now is cleanliness, so I plan to replace the filters but don't know much about the setup. Is it safe to replace them all at once, and what can...

First off, I'm not exactly a newbee. I was a member for a few years when I had a nice 55 gal and nano reef tanks. Apparently I was deleted though, as that was about 5 years ago when I rid of everything due to insufficient time to care for them. Well as of yesterday, I'm back in the hobby after...

I had 80 pounds in my 55 and it was an outstanding reef tank with plenty of swim room, caves, swim through's, etc. But again, LR can be heavier or lighter than it looks.

Well its over now. Me and my dad moved it. We actually left it on the stand too! Didn't even unhook anything underneath. Picked up one end at a time and slid dollies underneath. Rolled it right through the mall and onto my trailer. Then slid it on cardboard through the house right into...

For moving purposes, I'd like to know the empty weight of my 250g glass rectangular tank. Any ideas? Please and thank you.
