I am sad to say my tank was sold today. It is a bitter sweet deal. I sold it for penny's on the dollar. However look at how much time and money it will save me in the long run.

Due to life I have to shut down my tank. This will be done 1/20/10. I have lots of stuff, I will not need any more . PM me if you need some thing. I live in Hanford Ca. Admins, this is not a "For Sale" post. No prices have been stated nor has any Item been listed.

my 139

I bought a vertex IN-250 for my 139 set up. I have been nothing but beyond happy about it. Simple in design, and use. Truly a set and forget unit. Great bang for the buck. I bought mine off of Flea-bay for $210. A lot less expensive that the octo of the same caliber. I had 2 issues: 1, was...

I have set up my tank to be coral friendly. I have installed t5 ho lights and a huge sump and skimmer set up and have removed all of the sponges and pads out of my canister filters to use them as water pumps with carbon. I would like to know what type of corals that I could start off with, that...

OK so I have done a couple of things to my tank, First, I have acquired about 50 pounds more live rock, 20 more pounds of rubble (going into sump once I install it), along with 20 pounds of crushed coral. I have changed the back ground from the dark black and dreary, to A cool blue underwater...

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!!

I have the same issue, I have a 40 gallon tank to use as a sump for 139 gallon tank and need to know too :)

I now have added 40 more pounds of LR. Now to figure out how to stack it. Should I make one big pile on one side, or make two small piles on each side, or lay it all flat in a line down on the bottom of the tank?

Now that I have introduced my self to you guys, I have the need for more information from you. All of my local fish supply stores just want to sell me the most expensive stuff telling me that I NEED IT ... This is what I have as far as filtration, I have been using this method for 3 years now...

Originally Posted by sharkBait35 Looking good so far love the foxface and piccasso trigger. Your tank needs more live rock IMO. I know I have been buying a $20-$30 chunk of live rock once a month. Have to many bills and not enough disposable income. That is why I haven't gotten more live stock...
