    Question on RO/DI

    Thanks again, You all have been great. Ya I talked to a couple local reliable LFS stores and they all said don't waste your money. They all are built roughly the same. Sounds like it is down to either a Corallife or a Typhoon III or Kent. What's the diff? Do you all know? I want to have it...

    R/O units

    Sorry, looks like I posted the same question. I am all confused again myself. I was all set to go with the SpecraPure RO/DI Maxcap 90 GPH but now I'm all up in the air again. I don't need that expensive or that high GPH but everyone on other sites swared up and down on the SpecraPure being...

    Question on RO/DI

    Thanks for all your replies. What stats are you talking about with the RO that are zero? Your silicates or something? I guess a lot of the biggies on sites said something about Specrapure is best with their cartridges and technology being more advanced. Especially another popular Reef...

    Question on RO/DI

    Hi, Wanting to setup my Reverse Osmosis system ASAP and wondering which one to get? Everyone has told me to get a SpecraPure Maxcap RO/DI and I am really leaning this way but worried about longterm cost in the DI part of it. I don't care too much about upfront cost just longterm cost in...

    What Tang to add first?

    Hi, It is a 4 ft. tank. Why do you say only a 6' tank? It is the same water weather it is 4' or 6'. There is lots of live rock for him to hide in and swim through. On other sites they have also said add the blue first so I'll do that then. It is a small to medium blue if that helps. Thanks...

    What Tang to add first?

    Thanks for the replies guys! Ya I think I'll get the blue first and give him a few weeks by himself to adjust. He is totally non agressive and should be fine. He is in with a yellow tang in my mom's tank so he should be fine towards a yellow tang. I have a lot of rock for him to hide in and...

    any reefers in washington?

    Hi, The fish Store on Rosevelt is a good one. Their prices are ok. There is a new awesome fish store called Barrier Reef in Renton that has some very good prices and they are increadably informative. I was actually just down there this morning. I got a Rose bubble tip for 45 bucks I believe...

    Colorfull anemones

    Ya not a problem- The good thing is they divide quite redily so you should be able to find one through someone local. I don't know if anyone else has this issue but mine will not take to the sandbed. It will only attach to a rock, but then they stay there and don't seem to stray from the...

    Pump/ set up recomendtaion.

    Hi, Here's my 2 cents since my fellow reefers aren't helping you out: Unless you can afford lighting for your rock you plan to get I would wait and get lighting first. The die off from no lights could cause you to loose your fish from not having proper lighting. Emperor filters are pretty...

    T5's or MH's?

    Hi, Thanks for all the replies! Does anyone have any pictures of the super hard coral's run under t-5's? I heard TEC is the way to go due to the individual reflectors. I might just play it safe and get MH's for the middle then do t-5's for the actinic's. Then I get that cool shimmer and can...

    T5's or MH's?

    Hi, I'm working at setting up a 120 gal tall 24" deep 48" total length reef setup and wondering which way to go with lights. I was told by a couple saltwater store people at various locations that T-5's are way better than Mh's and they can keep the same stuff and stuff actually is doing better...
