Thanks for the comments. It is also 60" long. Here is a link to the light system I have: http://www.current-usa.com/sunpod.html Scroll down to the 60". Mark

OK I'm all set up just waiting for cycle to end. Here is a pic:

Thanks for the nice comments. I hopefully will have the LR in a few days. Will post pics then. Mark

My tank is up and running. Now I need some LR. I have some lava rock in there for fun, that I will take out when I get the LR. Here is a pic: and as requested for MT: Mark

Thanks for the heads up. What I will do is zip tie the back grid to the bottom grid. That way if it does come loose the weight of the rocks on the bottom grid will hold it all in place. Mark

Thanks Curt. The grid in the back is to provide extra flow around the LR, and more stability to the rocks. I also have another sheet of acrylic behind the back grid. I will be using marine epoxy (if needed) to secure rocks to the back. I did not want to get marine epoxy on my tank so I used the...

No water yet start of aquascaping. The next step is to set up the plumbing, add water, live rock...then cycle time.. Mark

I have some more pics of the tank. It is not plumbed yet, but is stained enjoy: The electrical is a mess right now, I still have to do some work there.

I wish.......

I got it at my local fish store, its called Vets Pets, and is located in El Cajon. The tank was $850 or so. I would definitely recommend them. Mark

No, but there is plenty of room. The tank is made of acrylic. Mark

lol I have RO/DI, the water here in San Diego is very bad. Mark

Just got my tank. 100g bowfront. I still have to stain it. Cant wait to get started. I should have it set up in a week or so. Here are some pics: [/url]

Thanks Kurt. I do have a bio filter in the tank. I will remove the rocks if I need to medicate. My ammonia is pretty low right now, I'm sure that will change in a few days. Mark

How does PPM translate into mg/l? mg/l is the only scale my kit has. I'm not really worried about the rock, its was really cheap, should I be concerned? Thx Mark BTW- I will only have 1 fish first, then down the road may quarantine 3 small fish.

Anyone out there? There does not seem to be much traffic on this site. Mark

I just started to cycle my quarantine tank with a raw shrimp. The tank smells like crap. I'm wondering if this is normal? I would think that a rotting shrimp in a tank would not smell good, but this is just putrid. The shrimp has been in there for only 1 day. The tank has an hob filter that...

Thanks Kurt that really clears things up. I guess I wont need the GH test as I have a soft water system, then the soft water goes through my RO/DI unit. Thanks again! Mark

Is KH the same as Alkalinity? I am looking here: http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~SF1123.html I bought this test kit a few days ago and it has alkalinity, as one of the tests. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:31&Item=7762903275 I am...

Can you recommend a good KH/GH test? Thx Mark

Is a TDS (total dissolved solids) meter, the same as measuring the hardness of the water? Thx NOOB

Thanks I picked one up yesterday!

Maybe I should get a refractometer. I just broke my hydrometer 2 min ago.... I just squeezed it to hard and it broke in my hand. Thankfully not in the tank. Can you say rookie lol Thanks MT as soon as I get a new meter to measure I will bring the levels down. Mark

lol

Well my quarantine tank is at 1.026. I thought this is ok. Am I wrong? I got that spec from here: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rhf/index.php
