To lazy for pics, lol, but I guess treating it like base rock is my best bet. Itll save me some money too, I did scrub them well, and will give them another scrub, im just OCD and never satisfied. Thanks for the help. Ill probable track my progress on a new thread, would love all of your input...

Im not really comfortable with its cleanliness right now, I would rather let it re culture before i set up my tank again. Or am I just being stubborn and doing twice the work? I guess it wouldnt hurt to just cycle my tank with the dry base rock, even if it isnt 100%clean it should all work...

Another quick question, when I start to re cure the rock, i just drop it into saltwater under the sun with circulation, no water changes? how big a starting resovoir do i need? i was thinking with two 50gal i would be good to split my rock up between the two. Sound good?

Thanks for the advice, yea I figured I could get the basics there, ie salt, sand testers and what not, but i was more worried about specialized items like pumps and fans, skimmers, uv steralizers and what not but yea i guess i can just buy that all online. I happen to live in an area with...

So Ive been on and off this forum during my short career as a SW aquarist. I was previously in Miami but about 4 months ago I picked up and moved to Northern California. Due to my love for my money pit, i mean tank I broke it all down, cleaned and dried it and moved it with me. For the past...

Spoke to the manufacturer. yes they actually called me. Must be a fitting loose in the resi within the chiller. I took it back to the shop itll be fixed or replaced in three days. ya the 3700 gph is rated at 0' im looking for min 15' of lift which changes the flow ti 1460 or something. I was...

Ya, It comes out of the box and on the top of the unit are the in and out fittings and thats it. Plug and play, The bottom of the unit though is a metal sheet with several bolts in it and a few cut outs, Those cutouts are where the water is leaking out of. Makes me think there is a loose factory...

its definitly not the connections. Its leaking from inside the unit, the underneath part. There are only two connections to make out of the box, hot in and cold out. Thanks

I bought and set up a brand new 1/4 hp eco plus chiller for my new 350 gal system. The system will be up in about a month or so as I am still curing my live rock. Anyway, I ran the chiller through a system of water just to double check everything and low and behold 50% of the water that I was...

Been having a serious green algae problem, it began with my bulbs and phosphate levels, that problem has been corrected and growth has been stunted, besides hermits, is there anything I can add to do some gardening? THanks

Just got home from work a few minutes ago, went to check on my tank and noticed that my maroon clown was more energetic than normal. side note: I have recently lost two fish, one a veteran of my tank, and another a new addition. The maroon clown has been through thick and thin going on 4 years...

ok i like the nudi idea. Im gonna try it. thanks,

So, long story short, FWE is a good product but the dieoff is the harmful stuff. Blennies are not a good idea, I didnt hear anything about an arrow crab. I have a peppermint shrimp and no dice, you think I should try the mandarin approach?

So I have a huge Flatworm problem, I did a little reading on this site and see that Flatworm Exit is a popular solution, but like some I defer from adding chemicals to my tank until absolutely necessary. I have read here and there about an arrow crab or a scooter blenny, though without any...

cool. yea it seems like the green doesnt grow nearly as fast as the old pink. neone else?

So I had my tank moved to and from my house during fumigation, it was covered and I mean covered in pink coraline algea. Most was cleaned off and now where the dead coraline "skeletons" were is growing again, but a lime green rather than that pink that I know. New coraline is growing already on...

Ive heard that you would want to make sure that the clown you added was about 1.5 times bigger than the one you have now in order to assure that the one you have now will become male. But thats not scientific or factual, just what ive heard.
