    Cheap sand

    I have read a lot on live sand, but can't really find a definitive answer on what to buy. What I want to do is buy some really cheap sand of some sort and let my live rock "seed" it. I don't want to have to buy the expensive "live sand" (which may or may not be live). My tank will be a full...

    Need electrical analysis, please!

    Currently, I have 1 outlet (2 plugs) behind my tank, but I am pretty sure I need more (not enough plugs, too much electricity pulled from 1). I have attempted to gather and estimate how many watts my equipment will be pulling for my 125g, as seen below: Skimmer - 65w Return pump - 130w...

    Recirc vs Needle Wheel

    I am looking at the Octopus 200 skimmer, and I am confused by 2 of the different models. What is the difference between the recirc. skimmers versus the cheaper needle wheel skimmers? Thank for the help!

    pump purchase dilema

    Based on reading through old posts, I decided I was going to get a Iwaki WMD 40 RLXT for my 125 reef. When I went to my LFS, the worker told me I should get the Pan World 100PX-X instead. Does anyone have any experience with one or both of these? Differences? Pro vs cons? Thanks so much for...

    Favorite fish...to eat

    What is your favorite fish to eat? I guess it could be a crustacean too. Mine is Mahi Mahi. Very light flavor and very tasty. The best I ever had was fresh Mahi Mahi for dinner in Maui.

    Flow question

    Posted in another forum, with no views or response. I am trying to determine how much flow and movement I need in my 6' 125. I will have a reef and was told about 10x turnover is appropriate, but I am not sure if that is just for the return or including powerheads. I am looking at an external...

    Gobies

    Is it possible to have more than 1 goby in a tank? Such as a yellow watchman, clown, neon, mandarin (i know they are not real gobies)? I don't have my tank setup yet (6' 125 on order) but I am trying to set up a stock/wish list for the future and don't know if there is an issue with goby...

    Cannopy warp

    I was told by my LFS that I should put a glass top on my 125. I want to put egg crate to help with the heat transfer. the LFS seems to think that the evaporation through the egg crate will eventually warp the wood cannopy and create a mold problem. Is this the case, or is he just trying to...

    125 T5 lighting

    Well, I finally got my 6' 125 tank, but I am a bit confused by the lighting. I have decided to go with HO T5's, but am not sure of my options. I have not been able to locate many if any 72" strips, and I don't know what to get. Should I get 2x 36" setups? I don't know how much light I need...

    Ich Cleaners

    I understand/agree that all fish should be qt'd before they are introduced to the dt, but would a cleaner crew suffice if I don't have a qt? For a 125 reef, would a cleaner crew, including but not limited to, 2 cleaner shrimp and a cleaner wrase be enough to keep ich out of the tank? Are there...

    Tracking software

    Do you use any aquarium tracking software? I have heard of programs from shareware that allows you to keep a log or diary of your tank, to programs with electronic data readers that keep track of water paramaters and scheduled maint. Any suggestions as to which one is the best?
