Hello everyone....is there anyone out there in the Elmira, Binhamton area? Dave

I've been working on this new 125 for most of the past summer. I drilled the back, 5 holes(3 down-2 return) and completed the fishless cycle in about 4 weeks. After the cycle completed, I added the 130# of oystercrete rock I made over the summer along with the 75# of live rock from my current...

It's amazing...I work with UPS and FedEx quite often and know for a fact that this unit can be shipped ground for LESS than $15.00....and these sellers all claim they don't make a profit on shipping.....bull! Dave

I did the vinegar test before I bought it. It fizzed like Alka-Seltzer!

I just bought 10 bags of white play sand at Wally World! It's branded "Kolor Scape" and distributed by Old Castle. 2.98 for a 40# bag $32 for 400 lbs of sand! They have palllets full of the stuff! Dave

I think I'll wait for some to drop off the rock. It would be really cool to have the entire rock covered though. I have one attatched to a snail shell that a hermit moved into......was pretty cool watching the crab crawl around the tank with a 'shroom hitch hicker. Dave

I honestly dont know if it's a Red Sea Tang. It wouldn't let me post two pics in the same post....here's the second.

I've got a purple tang I put in my main tank after a 4 week QT during all of which it was perfect). The next day it started getting white spots...I think parasites...and today it developed something new I've never seen before. I've posted some pics. it's round and white.I don't know how else...

Thanks for the replies! This is my first salt water tank......it never ceases to amaze me! Dave

I found something new tonight. After I turn out the lights I often get the flashlight and look around for new life in my tank. Tonight I found this "thing" it looks like a snail...but without a shell, it has two antenae. I tried to get a pic but it went into a hole in the rock. I almost...
