Hello, My 100 gallon tank is getting drilled next week for two 6x9 overflow boxes. The company standard is a 1" drain and 3/4" return in each box. I just ordered 1 quiet one pump and 1 velocity T4 pump. I'm going to try these out. Hopefully I can live w/ the heat added...because I need silent...

Hey all, At the time when I bought our 100g...I was just thinking a FOwLRLS would do. Well, it has changed to a Reef setup. So, I'm getting my LFS to install the built-in Overflow box w/ some kind of silent design. Specs: 100g -> 30g sump (10g refugium tied to sump). I've heard that 6"x9" box...

Congrats Big Dave! I'm sure you're excited and ready to move to the next step. I don't have any recommendations...just wanted to say 'congrats'. =) L and L

oops forgot the sure fire way to catch a damsel. Drive a Viper, own a big house and have a reef tank the size of a swimming pool. You can go snorkeling anytime! L and L <---ba doom tish

I'm in the exact same situation. I've got 3 yellowtails in our 100g - 120 lbs fiji LR. Had I known now back then...I would have cycled it w/ dead shrimp. I'm still researching it...but, here are a few suggestions: 1. coke bottle w/ food at the bottom. This is what I'm going to try. Wait till...

We're looking for Mississippi Reefers and going to start an email list. If you're not familiar w/ email lists....typically they aren't that active...but, it's always nice to know several people in your area. (ie.. let's go in on a crate of SOUTHDOWN! =) We've found 7 so far and if you'd like...

Hey, I got this crab in some live sand I bought. He is the same size of an Emerald crab...but likes to burrow in the sand. Good ? bad? What kind of crab am I ? thanks! L and L

To the newbies of this webboard and other webboards alike...researching the archives is probably the best place to find answers. I'm a new person too w/ this saltwater world and I'm learning just like the rest of you. But, a few quick searches will net you all the info you need for general...

Hey, Just got it delivered from Fedex. Problem solved. Thanks for the help SWF. This sand didnt kick up any cloud and it full of copepods and life. Got a green crab...in there too! Looks similiar to an emerald crab, but has some horn like features on his head. Got an idea what it is...

Could you please email w/ the LFS info. I want to add some more Fiji LR and SWF is sold out. Thanks L and L loguell@bellsouth.net

Hey Adrian and Reddog, We live pretty close to each other. It might come in handy if we go in together on a pallet of Southdown (hehe jk). If I'm ever in Baton Rouge or Shreveport...what LFS do you use? Pet stores are like candy stores to kids for me now. cheers, L and L Vicksburg, Mississippi

ah HA! Yep...tried to catch that little damsel blue sucker out of the 30g. He's a quick little dude! Gave up after 30 minutes. hehe Maybe I can rent a fish that eats small fishes?? That outta solve the problem! L and L <---new guy still learning

I used to be a moderator for the Viper Club of America webboard (100-200 posts/day) and I know how much time it takes to keep it running smoothly and "nip it in the bud" arguments/language that sometimes occur :rolleyes: So, "thanks" to all you Sharks. I do appreciate the work you people do...

What's wrong with adding some damsels yellowtails and blue hermits to the cycle? I did this when I cycled my 30g and I've got 4 damsels and 25 blue hermits in my 100g right now while it's cycling (day 5). Won't the extra waste from the fish speed up the cycle? I am pretty new at this :D...

Thanks. Those pictures were taken by my Sony F-505 digital camera (macro and auto-focus on a tripod). This camera is around 2 years old and I'm pretty sure they have several versions past this one. I love it. I has a great lens (Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens), sony memory stick technology...

I'm in a similiar situation here. I just bought my 100 gallon tank last week and I'm cycling it right now. The LFS sold me some fine aragonite (40lbs) and I just found this board and all the topics about CC being a "nitrate factory". I guess I'm still learning, but Crushed Coral and aragonite...

Just got back from Home Depot .... Bought a Coleman Powermate Pro-Gen 5000W for $598. This should handle ALL our aquarium plus plenty of other important stuff ( computer and monitor to check the Saltwaterfish.com Webboard!....maybe the frig or dvd/tv =) "honeymoon pictures underwater" hehe good...

Hey,Here in Mississippi in the winter, we usually get bad ice storms that knock down trees/tree limbs and knock out power for 1 day up to 2-4 weeks! Last year we were out of power for a week.Needless to say, this is scaring the heck outta me and our 30 gallon and 100 gallon salt tanks. yikes...

Got me? When I joined here and said hello, someone said that Rock Anemone was "bad" and I'm just trying to find out why. =) Btw, I found that "Slang Assistance" post....but, it doesn't have Hosp and Bow. I would guess that your 10g is a hospital...but, I don't know what "Bow" is. Thanks, L and L

Hey, Thanks for the "welcomes" to my first post. I've got plenty of questions...but, I'm going to search and read this board first and try to answer them. I saw on my first post that Rock Anemome was "bad" for a tank. We have two (4" and 2" diameter). They really are cool looking and it would...
