    Can I use DI water?

    I work in a R&D lab, and I will be taking jugs filled with DI water home with me when I start my tank. DI water actually isn't the most purified water available, there are still some particles in it, but the next level for what we use in the lab is just overkill for the average person. Plus the...

    I scuba dive. I live in NJ. Closest thing I can get to a reef without flying 3+ hours.

    Hey NASCAR Fans...

    Wow that was pretty bad. Does he have any minor injuries at all? I can see at least him getting a concussion from that. I am by no means a fan of NASCAR, but it is incredible to see anyone walk away from a crash like that.

    Great pics. Quick question though. Does anyone actually use 56k anymore? Cable/dsl internet has been around long enough now that it is almost out of date.

    Do you have another addicting hobby?

    Scuba dive. I'm absolutely addicted beyond belief. Wrecks, reefs, kelp forests... next step is caves, which I'm not sure I'm ready for.

    The burn???

    Well the pH of the system is rather basic, correct? >7 is basic. Anything greater than a pH 8 will cause minor skin irritation. If most saltwater tanks are a pH of about 8 or so, there's your reason right there. Wear long gloves next time.

    Probably get a ton of people who ask this...

    Thanks for the info guys. And yes, I'm on a ground floor so I don't think the weight would be too much of an issue. If I post in a week about the tank falling through the floor, then it was an issue, LOL! I've already set aside a nice budget for this, as I think it will make a great addition to...

    any divers out there?

    Certified diver here as well. I typically only dive on vacations though since I live around the NYC area. Wish I had an underwater camera for the places I've been, it's a MUST have and will keep you addicted. It's pretty much the reason why I want a saltwater aquarium.

    NEW pics of my 75g "reef"

    I was referred to a place called "Absolutely Fish" in Clifton, NJ on route 46 west. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone, although they are pushing me to get a pretty big tank. Although everyone has said to me if I have the space and means to support a large tank, I should.

    NEW pics of my 75g "reef"

    That was a quick response! Thanks! I would PM you for more specific info, but I'm orginally from Bergen County, grew up there. Recently moved out of my parents nest to Essex County to be closer to work.
