i like the vacum bag sealer thing. and yah. i should probably go make shure thell buy it from me befor i do anything, but if they dont, i can allways sell it somewhere else. i have a really populated tank already set up that i could probably take some rocks from so i think thats how ill get my...

they didn't actualy say they would buy it from me no. but theve bought stuff from me befor and im sure that if i produced and packeged it profesionaly, maby with some nice bags they would buy it from me. same as any other supplier

so i want to start to produce my own live sand and sell it to the lfs. ive been keeping severaly large (700+ gal) saltwater aquariums but i can never find cheep live sand. recently i whent to the local sand and gravel company and found really nice bright white sand. and i have one of those...

do you happen to have a link or something that you ment to send redbernadino?

so i went to go check the levels in the tank today, and befor i did i just sat there and observied the tank for along wile. i found that the blue tangs were nibbling at the capnella, a bit odd but i hadn't fed them any nori in a wile. i also noticed a shrimp molt floating around, and i rememberd...

good idea to run it into the skimmer but not possible seeing as theres no skimmer. i wish there was but theres no room. also surface disruption isn't a problem because theres a displacement tank that drops the water level anywhere from a inch to 38" and then surges it back in for a tidal surge...

i just got my certification last year with a friend for my 15th birthday. and i love it. i live right near monteray and even if its freezing you see the most amazing things. the harbor seals get a little to playful at times though. really, monteray and carmel are places you really should check out

well i fuge can be many things. most of the time it is set up with a deep sand bed(over 5 inches) to help with nitrates. macroalgae also often planted to help take out c02 and reduce nitrates. its also wise to also through in some rock(base rock is fine) to harbor bacteria. yet sometimes its...

i thought it was an octapus camofloged with the rock

monteray is prittly clean because it is a marine santuary. rmpd109 is right, the farther out the better. if your tanks sycled then adding crabs should be ok, although ive been diving out there and its hard to find anything that isn't huge. right now im setting up a large cold water tank and im...

i live in santa cruz so ill try to help you out. i really wouldn't get sand from here. expesialy from the capitola area. i would go carmel or monteray if you really dont want to buy it. but if your really stuck on your ways and are determined to get it from santa cruz, ide say that hidden beach...

right. didn't think of that :oops: . im going to see if when i take out the overflow that works, the others kick in, if they do then i have nothing to wory about, otherwise, im going to go buy a u tube

the ones that i saw at home depot were farly expencive, ide just go get an actual mh retrofit kit. i dont think that you can put a 150 watt bulb in a 300 watt fixture.
