Reefrocks.net is considerably cheaper. Another member pointed me his direction. I did a bulk order and paid around 1.40 per pound, and got 200lbs. of aragonite for the cost of shipping only.

Your ATO reservoir doesn't have to go under the stand necessarily. I have seen them hidden in everyday household items and placed next to the tank. I believe I saw the guys on BRS TV put one in a storage ottoman you can pick up at target. No one will ever know it's housing part of you life...

The AI Vegas are available for pre-order now, when they ship I couldn't tell you. Last I had heard they were suppose to be significantly more powerful than the Sols, though 2 Sols should do just fine on that tank.

Well said, the show is based on poorly scripted drama between coworkers. I can't begin to count the number of shows on animal planet that stress the proper care and handling of animals, whether the animal in question is a dog, cat, bird, but for some reason fish are an exception to that rule.

I don't have an issue that they don't TEACH proper technique, I have an issue that they don't PRACTICE it. American choppers does, as they point out multiple times that most of their show bikes aren't street legal, and explain why. As far as home makeover, they don't go over code, but they...

If you paid six figures for a tank, would you want anything but the best? I would like a count of how many of these fish don't make it through the first month, I would be willing to bet the number is significant. Their clients are the type that probably just continue to shell out the money for...

I watched Episode 2, thinking that just MAYBE I would see something explaining the debut debacle. I was mistaken, as a matter of fact they only furthered my distaste for their show. When I saw their install vehicles, I had hope that maybe the hoses I saw in the debut were being fed from one of...

Cbs will fight to the death unless they are a mated pair. Mine tried to kill fish also, there are some horror stories out there about CBS.

I wouldn't worry too much, I think this is a case of too much too soon. It goes back to that adage aquarium are like race cars, the faster you go the harder you crash. You should let the tank run for a few weeks and then add livestock slowly. I have the 220 stocking list finalized, I have it...

Dry aragonite works great.

It only looked different because it was wet. There is no maybe or maybe not, this isn't an experiment, it is proven science. Tanks do not cycle immediately and the beneficial bacteria needed to covert ammonia to nitrite and eventually nitrate does not live in water. Your fish survived because...

Absolutely correct, just because your livestock made it doesn't mean you didn't significantly effect their longevity thanks to ammonia poisoning. It is almost impossible to set up a tank with no cycle. Clown fish are related to damsels, they are tough, and will survive most of the spikes. That...

Used water doesn't carry much beneficial bacteria, and that bagged "live" sand is a rip off. The reason your tank went well was you had 8lbs of cured and established live rock which apparently had enough BB to minimize the effects of the cycle. You should never add fish that quickly to a tank...

Getting two small ones will not always ensure a pairing. It is often successful, but one should be larger than the other to reduce the amount of sparring over dominance. The larger will simply become the female instead of two similar sized clowns fighting and possibly injuring or killing each...

Much better off with dry sand, much cheaper and rapidly becomes live anyways. You never want to get tank used sand, it is live but full of detritus.

I'm sorry to hear that. My wife and I didn't have the space or time until recently. There is a huge empty spot in the living room for the 220 to go once I pick it up. Atleast I don't have MTS....yet.

I suppose it will, in the mean time I have a dalmatian to train. Do you have pets besides fish Carey?

I am so ready to start my build but it is on hold. The tank came in, but I had some unexpected medical bills derail pickup. May have to wait a month, hopefully sooner then that. I did get a new puppy though, lol. One thing at a time, I am having nightmares of her chewing the stand, this way I...

It's looking really nice so far. I was sad to see your problems in the 125, hopefully your luck will turn around.

Agreed, season one was much better, but still a great show.
