awesome...let me know how it goes. I might order some more soon as the majority of it went in my main tank...and i've got a nano project that i want to get going.

Rock is nice... I'll post some pics soon...the rock looks nice...lots of sponges (getting some die-off), lots of tube corals, clams, worms and macro. Also have a gargonian. Had quite a few small brittle stars...not sure if they made it or not...haven't seen them since putting them in the...

I sent an email to liverocks.com the other week when I was looking to make a purchase and received this response from them: I am afraid we are out of the rock business for a while, at least a year. Four hurricanes passed near our keys reefs this year and Rita really hit them hard. The damage...

Getting some... Decided to go with floridaliverocks...their deco rock and some sand. Getting the rock for $198 delivered (30 lbs.) Should be arriving on Tuesday. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it looks on arrival. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. :D

Looking to get some advice on great live rock online since liverocks.com is not currently available due to Hurricane Wilma. What is the 2nd best online solution behind liverocks.com if u are looking for live rock with good life and critters? My lfs's around here don't cut it really. :(

I've got a System II I've got a 40 gallon system II. I'm pretty happy with it...but I modified it. I took out the bioballs and tray and utilize that area with mangrove plants. I currently don't use a skimmer. When it says 100 gallon...you are not getting 100 gallons of swim space...it's...

Update on Krylon Fusion I used Krylon Fusion Navy Blue on the back of a Eclipse 12 tank (acrylic) and it worked great. Looks similar to the backing 'cobalt blue' used in Seaclear aquariums. It adhered to the acrylic nicely and looks great. Side note: I picked up the Eclipse 12 from...

thanks for all your replies quarry....now i'll get a readin'

quarry, before doing that shouldn't i test for the cupramine, run polyfilters and cuprasorb or activated carbon....and then if i still detect copper...then do all that.... that's like $40 in aragonite and $50 in rock that I would have to replace

indy, why would i never see a nitrite spike if all the bacteria had been killed and ammonia spiked? are u saying that i would then not have a normal cycle because of cupramine still in the system? thx for your response

it says on the bottle that it remains in solution and does not contaminate the filter bed...so shouldn't the filter bed be fine?

Quick background.... 6 month old tank 40 gallon tank with aragonite and dead base rock. Everything was going fine until the last fish was added (3 fish total). Experienced a total tank wipeout from Velvet...yes I know...now have a QT. I emptied the tank (minus the sand), let it dry for a...

Does anyone have recommendations for sleep/quiet time for fish? Meaning, no powerheads, lights off for a certain amount of time. Got some auto-timers and am trying to figure out if I should cut powerheads, lights at certain time of night and for a certain number of hours? Anyone?

Yeh, I already read thru that with no conclusions reached. I'm not trying to get him to puff mind u, but would like to know if tobies do puff as I've seen conflicting posts on various sites. I would like to know as much as I can about the fish since I own one. Thanks for the link.

What about 2 flame hawks or same conspecies Would 2 flames go at it?
