Cool. Thanks!!

Good or bad?

I have a 1/3 HP JBJ Arctic chiller and want to upgrade to a 1/2 HP one. I don't think they make a 1/2 horsepower chiller because I can't find one. So, could anyone recommend a good one?

My friend is has been "babysitting" some of my live rock and corals for a couple of months while I redo my tank. He has just recently developed a flatworm problem and can't get rid of them and I want my stuff back pretty soon. What is the best way to get rid of the "baddies" off of my rock and...

Thanks!!

Can someone recommend a good chiller for a 210 reef. Thanks.

The tank is 7'X2'X2'. I am aiming at around 2" of sand.

Yeah, Aquatic Realm is still there. That was actually going to be my next step. Good call!

I went to Home Depot and bought a bag of Arena Natural Sand...the only kind they had. They didn't have anything at Lowe's. I did the vinegar test and it didn't fizz. I guess I am out of luck.

I am thinking about heading down to the beach with a giant cooler and digging up a bunch of sand from the ocean. Thoughts?

I am setting up a 210 gallon reef tank. I am going to need about 400lbs of sand according to most recommendations. Does anyone have any suggestions on what type of sand and how to obtain this huge amount without spending a boat load of cash? Thanks.

No. Clown, goby and regal tang...nothing picking at the corals. I know what you mean about the Florida rock. I have pulled out about 5 mantis shrimp and still have one in there. I also have a bunch of gorilla crabs (I think that's what they're called).

Right now I have 3 fish which I am about to take back to the LFS for credit and only shrooms left. Every coral, cuke and shrimp that I wanted to keep is at my friends house (he bought my old 75 setup). His tank is doing great, and I think that frustrates me too. I am about ready to empty the...

Thanks for your input. I have am RO/DI unit which produces 0 PPM with the TDS meter, so I'm good there. I was kinda leaning to getting all new sand, so I think that is the way to go. Where did you get your Keys sand? I will be going there next month and am wondering if I could save on...

I upgraded my 75 gallon tank to a 210 tank a couple of years ago. My 75 was doing great. My 210, however has never really been right (Losing corals and I have algae problems, now). It probably was because I rushed everything and the tank never stabilized. I had also changed some things. The...

Carrie, The highest K my ballasts will let me use is 10K. I guess I'm screwed. Any other ideas? What about adding more actinic? It is not that hard to learn bass guitar. You have to be dedicated, because it will take you 6 months to a year to be any good. I would recommend you take a couple...

My friend has a 75 gallon tank with 4 96 watt PC lights (half 10K and half actinic). His blue mushrooms (and other bluish corals) look really blue in his tank. However, when I got some shrooms from him and put them in my tank, they are more purple. Also, my blue ricordia aren't showing up as...

I have some and it doesn't seem to bother anything other than me. :D
