    need help selecting MH bulb

    isn't that a bit high considering it does not come with any metal halide bulbs? Considering they are as much as 90 bucks each and all. I am just curious. I actually got my 250 nad 175 watt second hand..maybe i got a better deal than i thought.

    F/S 135 Set-up

    I bet you would get lots of offers if you would consider shipping...via fedex, ups or even usps. Not the tank of course but all the rest. you could sell individually and probably make even more $$$. Just a thought. Also I feel your asking price is pretty high considering your stand is simple...

    Any tips on catching fish?

    GOT EM! I did manage to lure him in to a clear tub. He had (just as LionStorm had said) gotten so docile that he just needed a net behind him to kinda corral him in the direction of the container. Once he was in i used the lid to not allow his escape. I already have him in the qt tank. Sure hope...

    Clean up crew

    lol...no i do not work for SWF.com. I have ordered from them a few times though. good product. As far as looking busy, no, I kinda thought that too at first but most of your snails will just latch on and lay dormant for the daytime and really they start to blend in really well. They do most of...

    Residual copper

    personally i would not risk it. I only base my opinion on what I have read on here for the past couple of months. I keep hearing of people saying the copper will even get into the silicone seals. i can be quite sure in saying it definately leeched into your base rock.

    Changing to sand tomorrow

    I am quite sure I read on here somewhere that they used a pvc pipe to pour the sand through from above the surface right down to the bottom of the tank. This way a lot of the sand will hit the bottom right away instead of flowing through the water and clouding as it sinks from the top. seems to...
