Any suggestions for a fish-only with live rock? Thanks guys.

Yes, that was the tank! I was ready to bid on it, but I did a little 'feasibility assessment' on the impact it would have on my living room. I'm not sure that the floors of my house could support it, so I need to do a little more research and see what else I may need to do before I get my 300G...

Thanks again! So now I'll need a pump for the sump, huh?? Can you suggest name/brand & specs? & Price? Also, another stupid question: what kind of tubing should I use to connect the tank to the sump? what/where will the connections be?

if you find a species w/ a reputation as being hardy, can you post? thanks.

PLEASE...KEEP THE NOVELS & DETAILS COMING!!! This is what I will have for lights: 24" single/full spectrum 48" double 36" full spectrum bulb To be honest...I am looking to buy a setup w/ all of the above equiptment (including the lights), and I am not familiar with...

Any suggestions on getting rid of external scrapes on acrylic tanks? The internal scrapes are not visible when the tank is filled with water, but I have some scratches on the outside that I am not sure how to get rid of. Thanks!

Sonny, Thanks. Just to recap, here's what I need: 1) Protein skimmer (ETS downdraft or berlin XL turbo) 2) Red Sea Ozonizer 3) Rainbow lifegard fluidized sand filter (600 gallon capacity) 4) RO unit 5) 100-1150 lbs of live rock can you recommend RO units? (not sure what to look for here) and...

Thanks, Brian, that helps. I have an opportunity to buy a 300G w/ all of these things thrown in for a good deal, but not sure if these things thrown in are worth anything. Anyone else?

Thanks people. A couple more questions: Mike. Can you tell me what 'DSB' and 'sku' are? I'm kind of an idiot when it comes to BB abbreviations. Anyone--part of my dilemma is creating an environment for a blue spot ray...not sure I want to use something as abrasive as cc, and I also need to...

It sounds like you're telling me that I need 300 lbs of live rock for a 300G tank & at least 150 lbs of live salt.... just want to be sure before i go buy it, cause that's a lot of pounds!

anyone??...

can you suggest some acrylic brands? also, i know we can't post links...but suggested search words would be helpful! if this is allowed, of course.

Hey people, Can someone tell me what pump/filtration equipment i may be missing from this list for a 300G Aggressive Setup? Or does this look pretty complete? Pumps – (2) Optima #807 (1) PenPlax Silentair X6 (2) Powerhead 402 (2) Tertra Luft Pump (1) Little Giant 2E Filters &#8211...

CheLives, why'll your answering this one, can you tell me too whether parasites, bristle worms, etc. are a threat (introduced by ls) to aggressive fish? Also, what is the formula or rough guideline for calculating how much live rock & live salt you need for an aggressive setup? does it depend...

Trey, Can you give more info about these rays? What are some of their: common problems? requirements/preferences? compatibility issues w/ other fish? What suggestions do you have about them?

Thanks guys, so I'm thinking that although it is strongly suggested & desirable that I go with a 500 gallon for all of this, it is reasonable to think that a 300 for this group (bamboo, volitan, blue spot ray, eel, porc puffer) will be sustainable and healthy enough. Let me know if you...

thanks, CheLives. why not a porcupine puffer? also, if i were to ditch the moray, could i be safe with a smaller tank, say 250-300? sign me up for the 7' of crab, i'm only afraid i'll come home after a few too many beers and have a crableg feast. so if i can't do any inverts at all, how do i...

Hey people Can you all let me know what you think of this mix? Also, minimum # of gallons to support? Stingray (& what species? Blue spotted?) Pufferfish (Porc) Lionfish (Antennatae) Shark (Horn? Bamboo? Suggestions about which is better, and how one or the other changes gallon requirements)...
