ok thanks bdhough

what is the suggested media required for this? Basically I need to know if i was to buy it, what do i have to buy in addition to this unit to get it operational. Thanks Dave

i have a turbo skimmer rated for 100 gallon ( would not use it past a 55 though). It is the hang on tank type and requires your own pump to operate. I only hooked it up for about a week and did not know a standard powerhead wouldn't be enough...d'oh. I bought another one either way. I have two...

A home built for two :D

well that was probably my problem then. I emailed the guy i bought it from and he said he used a standard powerhead...grrr...oh well.. so sloth54 &/or dmm180...if you guys are intersted in these but you would need to get a good solid pump like DvS says, then I have two of these in mint...

just be careful of some of the ones on ----. i made that mistake also. I bought one that claims it does up to a 100 gallon aquarium and did not come with a pump. it ended up costing me about 60 bucks after shipping, plus the price of the powerhead and it doesn't work worth a darn. It is called...

IMO I would acclimate them as if you just brought them home for the first time. do a full drip like they suggest on this site. A 75% water change is pretty drastic but if you are using good water like RO/DI then you are off to a good start. Good luck! wish i could add more but i would hate to...

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews on the seaclone. I can tell ya I have a b erlin on my 125 and it is great but a lot of people don't like those either...i only have a prism red sea on my 55 which is not exactly well liked either but it keeps my tank pristine so no complaints on either from...

If your fish are healthy and doing fine then "don't try and fix it if it isn't broken" basically. Feeding less can keep the water cleaner just because if you feed more than that you can risk giving too much and causing a lot of waste in the tank which of course drives the nasty levels high. Some...

I personally feel a protein skimmer is better than a second filter because... 1) using a skimmer will ease up the load of your emp. 400 2) it does a different type of filtering where it removes the waste product from the water that causes ammonia instead of just having those particles sit in...

anytime :)

I have been told VHO or Metal halides for clams. even the lower wattage halides require the clam(s) to be up higher than the sandbed. They may survive under lower lighting but they will not flourish.

that measn a thread that you have responded to.

I purchased two of these brittle stars at the same time...one for each tank. The tank that was much more established actually had a similar problem like you. The star lost two legs almost completely. It happen just that one time and he grew them back. been fine since. I did only have a few other...

I was told one cleaner per gallon of water roughly. I have a 125 and i have about 100-120 cleaners...mostly snails, blue legs, got a couple emerald crabs, cleaner shrimps, sally litefoot, queen conch, orange linkia star and a bristle star.

personally i think the best way would be to have the live rock packaged with the shroom(s) and sent directly to me. i personally will put it in my tank for you..no questions asked...REALLY! LOL good luck! :D :D :D

SWEET! I was so tickled when i hit 150..hehe :D

i keep an internal house temp of 70 degrees constantly. I have heaters on my system just as backup..they never actually kick in but my tank stays at a balmy 82. i do have a 4" fan that blows over the surface of the water when my metal halides are on. I doubt you need a chiller unless your lights...

sometimes weekend orders may not ship until tuesday also. depends on how many other orders were received over the weekend.

ok from my own experience and use i HIGHLY recommend powweb. 9just put a www infront and a .com after it.) Basically $7.77 a month plus a 15.00 a year fee for your .com registration and you are off. I currently have 3 different website addresses from there and have gotten many others to get...
