sorry...just seemed like good info. won't happen again

Hey, just found a web site the has a section for newbies [Link violation - out of respect for the owner and operator of this site, please do not post links to competitors, thanks.] check it out. I'm new to all this but the site seems pretty complete.

OK...kinda thought that might be it. Time to hit the LFSs and see what they have, been to one and the stuff looked like it didn't have that many goodies on it and it was ten dollars a pound there. I may just have to bite the bullet and be prepared for a big water change. Thanks Peace Mike

Hey, I've been looking at live rock(internet sources)lately and most say that it is already cured, but that when the rock gets to the destination it would have to be put in a 30 gal trash can with aged water and have the water changed a few times or go into the tank and half 1/2 of the tank...

Chris where to you shop?

Right now in MI, back in town tomorrow...Manhattan Hell's Kitchen

OK thanks...will start getting the breakdown for mechanicals when I get back into town tomorrow. I have a list of LFSs to check out Peace Mike

Hey, I'm going to get the 72 gal. bow front was thinking about 150lbs of LR is this a situation where more could be better? Like maybe 200lbs. I can't find a guideline for the amount of LS/gal is there one, or do you just get enough for a 2-3 inch substrate? Just trying to get some kind of loose...

Hi, New to all this, reading books and asking tons of questions. Pretty sure I'm getting a 72 gal bowfront, but thats about all at this point. Would like to set up a reef system heavy on inverts, corals and sponges. I've seen photos of tube sponges that look really cool but no one seems to be...

Hi, Wow! totally amazing, very inspirational. I'm at the reading and asking tons of questions stage. So the question is what is the yellow thing that is featured prominently in the fourth pic down(I think thats it) Looks like some kind of sponge maybe or an anemone. Your take is amazing, may...

Just wondering, like the idea of the of the black and white against the colors of the inverts. thanks

Hi again I've decided to go in between the 46 and 92 gal. bow fronts and get the 72 gal. I like the overflows for the filters. Seems like this will make maintaining things easier. I'm still thinking about the convict tang and flame angel I saw at the LFS, is a 72 gal. setup large enough for a...

There was a display tank at the store with the rock so covered in various corals that the rock was no longer visible I don't think anything could've been added without it sitting on top of something else. I was told it was under standard filtration methods. It just seemed odd to me. Saw a very...

Hi again and thanks for taking time to answer my previous question. Went to my LFS today and I think I'm really hooked....no pun intended. I found myself staring at a 90(92?)gallon bow front thinking "I can make that fit", I bought a book instead. Probably the wisest thing to do at this point...

Hi, I'm new to this and in the gathering information phase. I live in NYC in a shared apt. and my tank would go in my bedroom which is also my living room, dinning room and massage studio so space is a big consideration. My main question right now is what is the smallest tank size I can get...
