Originally Posted by ladylostinsalt I hate to say it but King Crab is probably more expensive here then in some places in the lower 48, I don't know why but it is. Not to mention Gas still isn't as low as it is in some of the lower states either. I thnk we're still hanging out at around 1.25...

Ive been looking to find used aquariums for my setup in my local area. There is a guy who is holding until I can buy it a 180gallon or so tank and stand, with a "homemade sump," and some other home made stuff. Do you think a home made sump would be okay? Or not at all. When I go out to look at...

What do you think of wave makers? What about "Red Sea WAVEMASTER Pro." Anyone know feedback on that item? Do they basically replace power heads? Or do you still need power heads while using a wavemaker?

Looking to buy a saltwater setup, any pieces or tank/stand for a 125gallon would be great. Please let me know. Im located in Kent, WA

I was reading the acclimation process on this website page. I was wondering exactly how it works. I understand you want to float the fish and then get a piece of maybe LR for one end of the tube and tie it to it and set it in the tank then tie a knot near the other end and put that in a...

Originally Posted by thud 30" = 2 1/2 feet. I think that's like the max you should do for your 125 gallon tank. Overcrowding will make your ammonia and nitrates unmanageable and will kill fish, waste time, energy, money, etc. So the snowflake would be a safe bet for that type of tank? Now those...

Yeah Ive been doing lots of research. I do lots of reptile stuff, I have lots of them. And I use to go on a website for tarantulas thats similar to this, ill keep the name disclosed because im not sure if its okay to post it in here....but yeah I really have always had a love for saltwater just...

So Ive come to the wise decision I think, that maybe a 210-250 gallon tank would be a bit much too handle for my first saltwater aquarium, and several of the fish I want arent compatible. I have decided to start with a smaller tank and eventually add another larger tank. I am planning on...

Now maintaining this R.T.'s salinity and ammonia,nitrite,nitrate and ph balance...isnt that going to be really hard since it will be such a small tank? Should I float the fish and acclimate it into the recovery tank the same as I did when introducing it into the main aquarium?

I know Ive read in every book that you should make some sort of treatment/recovery tank. Now if I had a 125 gallon tank what size recovery tank should I get? What all would I need to setup a recovery tank?

Originally Posted by KrazeKajin chillers are mainly needed in reef tanks where Metal Halides lights are used which heat the water up thus needing a chiller to chill it back to the normal range. Or in very warm climates where the temperature of the room causes the tank to climb. The average...

Thank you guys, I am slowly realizing maybe I should start off with a smaller tank, with one dominant of my choices and work around that fish, then eventually a bigger tank with my second dominant choice and work around that fish. Could anyone suggest what genus is good with a Blue Line Trigger...

Originally Posted by lion_crazz The blue line trigger is pretty vicious, so I would strongly recommend against it. If anything, go with the blue jaw trigger if you want a trigger and a lion. What about a Clown Trigger/Lionfish combo?

I guess is there anyone who could post a list of the ESSENTIAL things and maybe a few extra that I will need to have in setting up my 210-250 aggressive tank? Im really starting from scratch Ive read a little bit, but most books at my library didnt have a lot of different things to say.
