Sand is gone. Thanks.

I just finished breaking down my 72 reef and found a home for everything but the sand. Priced to sell. Perfect for a new setup at half the price. PM me.

Ok guys, I'm tearing down my 72 reef and all the livestock, liverock, and sand must go. I'm listing the fish now and will be adding the rest shortly. Everything will be local pickup only. PM me if interested. -Pink Anthias $15.00 -Spineyhead blenney $25.00 -Yellow Coris Wrasse $15.00 -Pair of...

The old bulbs were something like 2 years old and there is an obvious change in visible temperature between the new...

Ok, so probably a dumb question but I wanted to ask anyways. As long as there is no de-ionization chamber in a Kent, Coralife, etc... RO system I can use it for drinking water as well as fish tank water right?

What type of tank will it be? Fish only, reef? For a fish only you will need minimal lighting. A standard florescent strip light will do the trick. You may want to look into different bulb types to help bring out the colors of the fish. If your planning on adding light dependent inhabitants...

I agree with tunicate. I couldn't think of it, for some reason I kept searching sea squert... Palythoa are relatively easy to care for. Medium lighting and water flow.

Well...i would love to, but in my attempt to save them I ended up doing the opposite :( When I pulled them out they fragmented into many pieces, combined with my fumbled attempt at removing what nudis I could find, I think the coral got to stressed and didn't make it...so bummed. But it's my...
