meijer. If you bring your own gallon (milk jug), its 30 cents to "refill" it. but if you use their gallons, its 50 cents :-0

yah, look at the post below this one on the fourms. About RO/DI and Distilled.

both are safe to use in tanks, although RO/DI is much much much cheaper. At my LGS it is 30 cents a gal, Distilled is 1.00 a gallon. HTH

thanks for the reply. What about others? What do you think about the setup?

my tank is 3 weeks old, 12 gallons, and ready to be stocked. First add: 3x Cerith Snails 3x Massariuis Snails 2x Astrea Snails 2x Margarita Snails 1x Shrimp (Either Fire or Lysmata Grabhami) After they are established (maybe 1-2 weeks) add: 1x Percula Clown 1x Green Watchman Goby 1x Royal...

is distilled water the same as ro/di?

tank is about 3 weeks old, brown algae, but now starting to see purple spots on glass (possibly coarline algae?), and i used tap water with de-chlor (mistake :-( ) Thanks

hey, i have a 12 gal aquapod, with pretty much algae. I absolutly no idea which clean up crew i should buy. Can people post with some recommondations and maybe the price of each. Thanks.

Can anyone recommoned a tool to use to cut my splashguard (which is acrylic ). I dont have a dremel tool, and dont plan on buying one since they are about 100 bucks. Thanks.

hey, i just started my first tank (no fish yet). ive had it for about 3 weeks and im just letting it cycle. i noticed that there is alot of brown stuff growing on my live sand and the side of my tank. this might be because i used tap water (but i let it sit for along time). is this normal...

hey, im new to my SW tank. I know i should just let the ammonia and nitrites go because the bacteria will decompse them and give off nitrate, am i right? so at about what ppm should i let the nitrate go to before i do a pwc? Thanks

i just added a raw shrimpie today :-D wow i never thought starting a sw tank would be this fun, lol

im also thinking about buying a nanoskimmer for my c-usa 12gal aquapod nano. but the only problem is how will it fit? it was the lid on top of the tank so nothing can stick out. Is the whole skimmer submerged into water and just sticks on the side of the glass? even the compartment that holds...

i just went to the store today and bought 8.5lbs of live rock to start out with. I plan on getting about 12 pounds or so. About how long should it take to complete a full cycle. Should i add a cocktail shrimp to it so i can decompose and give of ammonia to help speed it up. or even buy a...

is there any other way of making my water "not tap" besides a ro/di filter. maybe a cheaper way? Im 16, so im poor :-(

Hey, i just set up a new aquarium (12gal nano cube) and i made a big mistake in using tap water with de-chlor. I heard that using tap water, it's bad for the fish. How is this? Instead of buying an expensive RO/DI Filter (which i dont want to do because it wont fit in my nano and if very...

Do you think i could fit this (Current USA "Fission" Protein Skimmer) in my tank without modding it. I'm not experienced in cutting stuff lol. http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_protein_skimmers_current_usa_fission_nano_skimmer.asp?CartId= Go there to see if that protein skimmer will work...

this makes me happy cause he has about 20 lbs of dead rock. which will save me about 100 buckaroos! :D

Im starting a new tank, and my brother has some oceanic rock that was once live, but not anymore. Then in his tank, he has some live rock. He says that if i put some of the dead live rock in my tank, along with some living live rock, that the live will "regenerate" the dead rock, and it will...

wow. this is some very good information. Thanks everyone. Lando, what protein skimmer and what RO/DI filter would you recommed for my 12 Gal Nano-Cube Deluxe. How could i install them? Thanks

Im sorry that im a noob, but what does a protein skimmer do? How can i install it in my nano. And what is a RO? Thanks everyone

Hello, this is my first post on AA so be nice :lol: My brother has a 55 gal SW tank with tons of live rock, fish, cool plants, etc. I've been admiring it for about 2 years now. So i decided to go out and try to start one myself. I bought the 12gal nanopod becuase i thought it was an all...
