Thanks Mr_X, I am concerned about using water because I don't have any RODI water available and I don't want to use tap water if it will affect the tank.

Thank you bigdogeder. I am looking forward to my restart.

Hi, I am thinking of getting back into the saltwater hobby. I was a hobbyist back in 2008. I stopped due to my husband passing and it was a hobby he and I enjoyed together and I couldn't bring myself to continuing. I had a 125 gallon saltwater setup with sump and all. My first, getting started...

Well, I was able to sell my LR, fish, snails, crabs and chaeto from my 125 gal. If you remember, I am giving up the hobby due to personal reasons. So, now I have a dirty 125 gal tank to give final cleaning to. It has just about 1" of live sand and water left in the bottom. Due to pulling the...

No problem. That's why I wanted to be sure.

your interest in tank, light and stand Just to be sure I understand you because I am selling my live rock and fish to a LFS on Wednesday. So your interest is in the empty 125 gal reef tank, lighting fixture and cabinet w/o sump or powerheads or skimmer and such. Correct?:confused:

I live in SW Suburb of IL. My asking price depends on what items you are interested in? The DT has 3" bed of live sand. Not exactly sure of the wt. in live rock and the 4 fish mentioned along with original cabinet. I am keeping the sump because my husband and I put that together and I may want...

Due to the death of my husband I have decided to sell my 125 gal. FOWLR tank and cabinet and lighting fixture hood. I have a Tomini Tank, Blue Hippo Tang and 2 pj cardinal fish that I would prefer go with setup. If you have an interest let me know and I will give more detail specifics.

Thanks, I will give that a try!

I am in need of replacing my lens covers in my hood fixture. Their measurements are 70 5/8"L x 3 1/4"W x 1/16"thick. I have gone to Lowe's and Home Depot, no luck. Anybody have any suggestions?:confused::loopy:

So, as long as the primer and glue are used for PVC, it is considered aquarium safe? I went to Lowe's to look at some today and one specifically specified to be used on Schedule 40 PVC which is the type used in my sump. So that kind will be fine? Thanks for the opinion. Had too busy of a weekend...

I put together my T connection off of my return pump that leads into my refuge. I used the blue glue on PVC pipes and silicone caulk. It still leaks! Is there a material I can wrap around it to stop the leak or do I need to start all over again. Hopefully picture attached will help...

What are the meanings of these abbreviations?:???:

My DT lights are all off at 11:00 PM. My refuge lights are not set to go on until 12:30am and stay on til 6:30am. My DT lights don't start up again until 10:00am. Should I not have this gap time w/o any lighting? Should I have my refuge lights go on as soon as DT lights turn off and then turn...

How many hours do you keep your fuge light on?
