    Acclimation

    Okay, why is it that fish stores do almost no acclimation besides floating the bag for about a half hour, but everyone on here says to drip acclimate for an hour or more. I was told by the owner of a small fish store, who has about 40 years of experience in marine and freshwater fish, to take...

    Water Filtration Question, please help!

    I am trying to figure out how to do this. Someone told me Walmsrt has RO systems for like $40. I went to the website, and it says they don't carry anything cheaper than $179. Does anyone know where I can find one for around $50? Another question, if I use tap water, do those "water...

    Just planning, give your input or ideas.

    I just got a 135 gallon that I will be putting all my fish from my 55 gal in. I want to be able to have another shrimp, but my Panther Grouper ate the last one. I have a V. lion, Humu trigger, Yellow tang, striped damsel, lawnmower blenny and hermet. I think I will probably get rid of my...

    Mix it yourself, OR buy pre-made from your LFS?

    I hate having to go to my LFS to get saltwater, but I do love that I don't have to do anything to it but POUR. On the other hand, I'm trying to figure out what's cheaper. I have never bought salt, so I don't know the price or gallons per container it makes. I pay $1.10 per gallon for...

    Blue/green tint on glass- anyone have it?

    I am going to buy this tank with bluish green tint to the glass. I think the original owner made the tank, and I'm wondering if anyone on here has glass like that. If so, does it make your fish or sand or corals look different, or is it barely noticable? Any pics? Anyone seen one and have...

    Lighting

    I need to figure out what to buy for the 135 I'm getting, and that's in a few days. I want to go with VHO's I think, because I want it bright, and able to at least put some soft corals in there. I don't know how many lights I will need, and if those 50/50 lights would be bright enough, and give...
