wamp, most poeple who've gotten TBS rock have little or no spikes.. it is shipping within a day or two of being pucked from the ocean, and its is shipped in water... therefore i would think that if i added just the rock, there wouldnt be much of a cycle at all.. the rock would support itself...

this site sells salifert test kits.. they are number 1 in most reefer's books.. i recently ordered some from here myself.. i looked around, the pricing is good or cheaper than elsewhere. regards, jib

i have a typhoon II as well.. it just sitting on my kitchen counter in the back.. i have a faucet adapter that i ordered along with the unit .. from airwaterice.com it was like 6 bucks .. i just screw the adapter in when i use the RO/DI unit... then when im done, i unscrew it and add the regular...

i have no plans on bypassing the cycle or anything, i just wanted to find out if getting some live sand or something would help SEED the tank.. figuring the onlything in there would be southdown and rock thats been out of water for 30 years :) most suggest a cup of sand from a fellow reefer...

i was wondering how to speed along the cycle process? im going to add 4 inches of southdown, 30lbs of hirocks.. then im going to add pure ammonia.. as opposed to fish or a rotting shrimp.. i used ammonia when i cycled my freshwater.. it worked pretty well.. and cycled like in 2 weeks. but then i...

for valentines day i got dressed up, went out with her and had a 80 dollar dinner.. haha. that must count for something.. heh yeah, i mean one month after it cycles.. i want to take things nice and slow.. perhaps ill just start with the 2 firefish.. id rather get a anenome when i get the...

i everyone, ive put together a list of everything id like to have in my tank. ive listed what i have now, and what ill add 1 month, then 2 months down the line. any comments? ill probably be ordering the LR in about 3-4 weeks. already have: coralife aqua light - 2 96 watt PC's 1 10k, 1 atinic...

since im all thumbs, and not much of a DIY'er.. is there anyplace i can get a refuge like that already made.. or maybe part of a package ? im going to be setting my 30 gallon up in the next month.. i have a spare 10 gallon that id like to grow pods and stuff in...plus algae to keep down the...

drgriff, what kind of cucumber is that a picture of ? seems really interesting.. more so than the brown tiger tail cucumbers. what do you feed it ? just wondering... i would like to research some more about them before i add one to my tank im going to be setting up... regards jib

guess i better say clear of the Zoanthids and Xenia when finally adding corals to my tank pretty sad article, btw.. but im sure in the end itll save some other people from getting sick, etc. hopefully youre feeling better bang guy! regards, jib

thanks bang guy i guess ill try to get everything to arrive as close together as possible, and dump it all in. since im probably not going to want alot of die off, ill just have to do more water changes. im not worried about the algae, just food for the snails later on! regards, jib

stroudsburg is about a 45 minute or so drive. lemme know how good the rock is... thanks, jib

hm.. i could go either way. with regards to cycling, should i put everything in at once... or try and buy half of my LR now, then after it cycles, the other half? i really wouldnt want to buy 50 lbs of LR and then have the cycle kill half the stuff on it. for a 25 lb box of LS from this site...

there is a nice amount of southdown at my home depot.. more than enough for my 30 gallon im converting to SW. im wondering if i should get 50 lbs of southdown, then 30 lbs of LS, or just just 100lbs of southdown, and a live sand activator kit that has bristleworms and pods in it. from a few...

actually , after doing alot more searching and looking at last posts.. looks like you basically have a 50/50 chance of this crab killing everything. since i dont have my tank yet, and the only things i really would like are 2 percula clowns and a BTA for them, perhaps i could still get it. i...

anyone else?

ugh.. this is the wrong thread to be reading while eating a PBJ sandwich

yeah, they do.. but ill need about 105 1 gallon jugs! there has to be a better way...

RO is reverse osmosis - its a way of clearing the crap out of water.. the end result is supposed to be alot closer to distilled water than just using regular tap water. i live in allentown, pa.. and the water is very hard, and has a high ph... so rather than spending 50 bucks on 100 gallon jugs...
