I just have a question (maybe 2) about curing LR. Should I drop a heater in the tub that I'm curing the rock in? The water is at 69-70 degrees since it's on the lowest floor of my house. Is that too cold? The second is, do I have to have sand in the bottom of the tub, or can I do without? Nate

Alright, I know I read it somewhere, but I can't find it. RO/DI water has a very low PH. Even too low for most FW systems (6.4 or so). How do you guys that use RO/DI water get ethe PH to match the tank PH? Nate

I know that some of you have played with power head placement to get the best flow with minimal dead spots. I'll be getting 2 - Maxi-jet PH900's (one for each of my 29 gallon tanks) in a couple of days. I want to place them in the right spot. Where in your experience would be the best place...

So I just ordered 75 lbs of live rock to split between my tanks, an RO/DI, and 2 more power heads. Hopefully this will get me on my way to getting these tanks straightened out. Rock: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7702036132&category=46308&rd=1 RO/DI...

How would this one work? Anyone had experience with it? It's a 6 stage RO/DI. Sorry, wasn't sure where to ask this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7702119069&category=20756&rd=1 Nate

Ok, so I moved my 2 damsels from my 29 gal upstairs to the new 30 gallon hex in my kids play room to start the cycle. So I had to restock my one 29 gal. We went to the LFS. We love puffers and were looking at those, but they were a little too expensive, and they've raised their prices on...

I think this is what I have in my one 29 gal SW tank. It looks black, and it keeps forming on the back glass of the tank. No matter how much I clean it, a week or less later it's back. I put a big stick airator in there to get some movement since I haven't gotten a powerhead for it yet, and...

I have a tank with 3 small live rocks. I was getting ready to take some of the substrate out and move it to my new tank. I lifted one of my live rocks and what do I see? This pink worm looking thing, with what looked like a bunch of little legs. I almost looked like a pink common centipede...

Ok, so I'm setting up my new FO SW tank. This time I'm using sand from Home Depot (i'll post the location in the sticky). The question I have is, do I have to seed it with some live sand, or can I just get away with just the sand as I have with the crushed coral substrate in my other tanks...

Just a little hello message. I'm still a "newb" to the saltwater aquarium world, but I'm having good luck. I have 3 tanks, and after I move, it'll be 4. I have a 10 gallon freshwater that we've had for about a year. Not much to say about that other than I never touch it and it just keeps...
