OK, so basically I am already set-up, but the tank I have is getting ready to burst! I had just got it all setup and a couple days later, literally heard the glass chipping itself in a corner. So now the tank is about half full, with a 26 gallon tote acting as an overflow to keep alot of water...

I am all set-up! Now I need some LR. I am in Oakland county, MI and would appreciate it quite a bit if anyone close would not mind giving up any LR. I have 6lbs in the tank so far, but that is far from the recommended 75lbs min. If there is anyone out there interested in helping a fellow...

well, it turns out that my old tank is BAD! As I was looking inside at the water flowing past the LR, i know..fun.., I noticed something.. The side piece of glass is starting to make too much contact with the front piece of glass and causing it to chip away, just like when a rock puts a divot in...

oh yea.. i mixed rock with the sustrate to not only try to save $, but I hear alot of people complaining about the sand moving around too much in the tank. The rocks help to keep it in its place, but still allow water to flow thru. An idea that I also hope does not come back to haunt me.

it is freshwater sustrate mixed with live coral sand. 20lbs of live coral sand, and about the same amount of regular aquarium rocks.. a rock is a rock right? why should that matter if its not jagged or not? I hope there aint something important there that I dont know about...

oh yea.. i did screw up typing in the NO3 reading.. it is 10ppm.. the NO2 is 0.10ppm, it was the amonia NH3/NH+4 that is 0.125. I got 6.2lbs of some beautiful live rock. Nice red color to it and was in a well established tank, better then the fresh rock they had just got and are trying to sell...

the NO readings i gave were in ppm.. i just idiodically forgot to write ppm after the numbers the sustrate i used is 2 - 10lb bags of the live coral sand and about some regular aquarium rocks mixed in. and i used a hydrometer to measure the salinity. There really was an alligator in the...

:help: Ok, I got rid of my 3 and a half foot alligator and am now setting his 75 gallon tank up as SALTWATER! woohoo! I have the decor in place and the water circulating through a Magnum 350 with ammocarb. See it here! Anyways, assuming you have clicked on that and seen the setup, you see I...
