    90 Gallon Mixed Reef Build

I also made RODI water and mixed salt (found out I need a lot more salt) and put that into my tank. Put all the plumbing together and fixed a...

    Can you add salt directly to the aquarium?

    I already have an aquarium set up with filtration, sand and rocks and water (its been running for 4 days, I know it isnt cycling yet). I didn't put enough salt while mixing the water so can I just add the rest of the salt directly to the display tank and wait for it to dissolve that way? :thanks:

    90 Gallon Mixed Reef Build

    Hey everyone! I joined AA about a year ago, around the time when I got my aquarium. I got my tank somewhere in March of 2011 from some guy off of craigslist. Long story short there were a lot of problems and mistakes I made even before I put water in it. Finally after more than a year I am...

    Is ABS plastic safe?

    I really appreciate everyone's feedback..it was kinda what I was needing to here after so much "depression" of not starting my tank up for a year. Now I can start fantasizing and not worrying. Going to try to get it up and running this week and have it cycled soon! Thank you.

    Why didn't you like the sea cucumber? Did it always get stuck in the overflow?

    Deep Sand Bed?

    If anyone has any suggestions...I definitely will take them in! Is it better to have a deep sand bed or could it be the death of a tank started by a rookie? Thanks :P

    Tim's 29gal Biocube Reef / Angler Fish tank build

    I'll be watching! Looks like a fun build and I was eyeing anglers, but never planned on getting one.

    Deep Sand Bed?

    Oh i was talking about the refugium for the time being. Switching gears now! I'm not putting macro-algae in the display...probably a potential tang or herbivore would eat it...anyway. I'm not using LR shocker! I have already bought 100 lbs of dry pukani rock. I will probably only use 50-70 lbs...

    Deep Sand Bed?

    I would stock it with chaetomorpha-macro algae. Lots of worms and snails that sift through the sand...like bristle worms and such. Amphipods and Copepods would be directly added. What do you think?
