The best of plans need to verified and tested. It does no good to have the generator, UPS, Invertor or whatever your choice is if you do not pull the power on your tank and test it for a few hours to make sure it will work. Make sure your extension cords are long enough to go to the car in the...

I just have not figured out the science of the lighting. I am in need of new bulbs for my 125 FOWLR and currently have a 72" CF light fixture taking 4) 96w 34" bulbs. Currently this fixture contains 2) 10K bulbs and 2) Actinic bulbs. My question is what is my best bet for replacment bulbs? qty...

I would like to order a fish you have on special this weekend but currently have some fish in my QT tank that Iwill not have ready to take out for about a 7 - 10 days. Can I place an order now to get the special price but specify shipment to be made in 10 days? If so can I just specify this in...

I had decided to try a freshwater dip on a Sohal Tang I had recently bought before putting it into a QT. I matched PH and Temp and placed it into the water and he literally FREAKED. It jumped out of the water twice and each time fell back into the water and then floated to the top curled onto...

I notice only a few of your livestock descriptions give a mature size range to expect from a particular type of fish. It would be nice to have the size of the fish that will be shipped as well as the expected size on average of the fish at maturity. I always jump to another fish site to find...

As was mentioned you want to be flat. Do not worry as much about level. You want to set the stand on the floor and shim all around between the stand and floor. This closes up all of the gaps and spaces that would allow the stand to "Settle". Then set the DT on the stand and shim between the...

On the lighter side I am glad to hear that I am not the only one to use my toaster while in the bathtub! WW

Bronco, I do not think you will ever regret taking the additional time and effort to stay with your plan and "Dream" of having the wave-maker. My feeling is the build is the best part and that is because you see your concept become reality. If you bail on the wave-maker you will get this...

Be sure to clean the area 2-3 times to be safe. I just drilled a glass tank for a fuge and did not even use putty. I did the drilling on my back patio and just turned on the garden hose pointing to the drill and this kept clean cool water going on the drill to cool it as well as flush away the...

Verify again for me. If I have a $50 credit I need to place an order for the minimum + my $50 credit? Thanks WW

Why did you mount the DI units to run the flow from bottom up? Would this not allow the media to settle and pack into the bottom? Would upflow keep the media loose to contribute to channeling? I would have guessed to mount with flow from top down so the water pressure would push media to the...

Qty. 2) Black All-Glass Deluxe 36” Florescent Fixtures I am rebuilding my system after my previous tank cracked and in the process am upgrading some components. I am going to keep adding some things to my list of FOR SALE items. I have 2) All Glass Brand Deluxe Fluorescent Light Fixtures...

Can you let me know if this is still up for sale?

I will be adding items so keep scrolling down occasionally. I have for sale 2 salt buckets, Approx 60# each of substrate I have left on hand. This has been taken out of my tank about 4 months ago and stored in the buckets. I do not recall the exact type but in a search on-line it appears to be...

I have for sale 2 salt buckets, Approx 60# each of substrate I have left on hand. This has been taken out of my tank about 4 months ago and stored in the buckets. I do not recall the exact type but in a search on-line it appears to be Mixed grade Aragonite. If anyone can I.D. this or verify my...

Hey a few points from my perspective. A-1) Clean tanks, Store and Healthy stock. 1 ) Have relevent books on hand not so much for customers to sit and read but how about to "check out", maybe with a deposit, and take home for a period of time to read? A plus to this is they would be coming back...

Keep in mind a 55 gallon tank will not contain 55 gallons of water. You loose capacity due to rock, substrate etc. I needed actually about 85 gallons of containers to empty my 125 gallon. Of course any sump capacity etc would need reflected as well. Good Luck! WW

I had a junk oil filled pump (before I knew better!) in my Koi pond a number of years ago that leaked oil into my water. In dscussion with the manufacturer they mentioned of course that the oil will float on the surface of the water as it is lighter. They said to float papertowels on the surface...

I have always been a fan of putting a pre-Filter on pumps if possible. You need to be aware of the need to clean them regularly and you should not have problems. With the amount of particles I see that they collect why would you want that material to float in your system when you can trap it...

Please take this serious. Examine the tank at the edges of the glass and look for cracks as well. This could be as simple as a small leak in the seal or as extreme as glass failure. Jan 3rd the front of my 125 gallon blew out with no evidence there was an issue. Not a pretty sight and $1,000 for...
