Yup! that would be me. LOL!

I bought the 100gal in Stockton, CA, I'm from Merced, CA. The tank was supposed to be a 150gal, the selling price was $80 bucks but I convinced the seller to sell it to me for $40 bucks. When I got to Stockton, after 50 minutes of driving, I saw the tank and realized it was a 100gallon tank, I...

The tank is leak tight. I don't think I'll need to re-silicone. Raudel

I've been trying to find a 80gal+ sump, but no joy! BUT!!! I found a 100 gallong Glass aquarium for $30 dollars in craigslist. PHOTOS Attached. I was wondering if you guys think it's a good idea to place this 100gal tank under my 265gal as a sump, I mean, it was cheap anyway. I would just need...

The reason why I ask for Sand color recommendations, is because once it's in the display tank it is pretty much there to stay. I don't want to make a mistake and then tell my self I should have gotten another color. Do you know which brings out more the color in a tank, the natural feel, which...

So Black I'll do away with the Black then. So we are left with Natural, White, or Golden. Anyone recommend one over the other for any specific reasons? Any photos that my help me choose? Raudel

Thanks, I'll do Aragonite Sand then. (Now what color to choose?) I currently have 50lbs of Black Sand but many say White sand is the way to go. I've seen, Black, White or natural, even Golden. Anyone have any pointers/tips as to which color should I get and why? Raudel

Thanks, What is the proper temperature? What should be the proper salinity or specific Gravity? Oh, and what should I feed my Live Rock? Raudel

New Question, I have the 195lb pounds of Live Rock in my 55 gallon Hexagon Tank. I have it with a specific gravity of 1.022 Will the Rocks stay live if I just keep the rock in the salt water at that specific gravity while using power heads to simply cycle the water around? (My Rock is growing...

Thank you for this clarification!!!! I have a good 195lbs of Pourus Live rock, so I'll include the UV sterilizer into my system. Thanks a bunch. Raudel

Thanks for your reply kms907. Does anyone else have any inputs? Raudel

Any new inputs from my last posts? Raudel

In addition to my previous Post. Would someone look at my Sump/skimmer unit and let me know if it's a good setup? I've read of sumps that have bio balls, skimmers, refugium, and more...should i look into making my sump more usefull? how? could someone sketch/design the perfect sump unit with...

UV Sterilizer Hi All, I bought this UV Sterilizer for $30 dollars. Pictures Attached. Any advice? I will begin with Live Rock and I don't want to kill any food supplies. I think the Sterilizer is the white cilinder, what is the black cilinder, and how do I use the meter, what should my...

Sump Exchange Hi All, Just wanted to mention that I exchanged my sump with a sump/skimmer setup with submersible pumps. Someone needed a fresh water setup with bio balls and could make use of my sump, and in exchange I took his sump/skimmer for my tank. Check out the PHOTOS. First two are...
