theres another tank in oregon thats 44,000 gallons in this guys 'barn' which is what its made to look like from the outside.. he has 2 7 foot nurse sharks, 2 4 foot black tip sharks...tons of tangs lookdowns sting rays...he has thousand gallon quarantines....1000 gallon dsbs its crazy.

i am selling a lifeguard fluidized bed filter for 65 shipped. also have a catalina aquariums 2200 pump which is like they say rated at around 600 gph at 4 ft. for 45 shipped and also a red sea prizm protein skimmer... the regular one with 18 blade impellor for 80 shipped. everything is brand new...

ill second that zooanthid thing....i work at a really good LFS and one guy didnt know and just put a whole bunch in a tank barehanded and then went out to have a cigarette and rubbed his eye....lets just say he had to go home for the day

you dont have to shatter it...if its a decent rock just scuff up the coraline on top and let it fall on other rocks...then let that one rebuild or you can use it for aquascaping....unless its a small piece i would use it multiple times or for mulitple uses.

that works...or turn off all your powerheads and take a razor and scrape that rock and let it fall like snow everywhere and let it take hold for a lil bit

how much for 2 6100s and a controller

wow this is one i actually thought i could get some input/opinions on it seems to be a big debate

im currently upgrading my 135 gallon system that was mainly FOWLR and a few mushrooms and softies to a full mixed reef...luckily with a 135 i have some depth on my side so i can add my lower light things to the bottom. i want to add mostly SPS since i have my lights on order from hellolights.com...

i had this problem for awhile and was certain my phosphates werent coming from an outside source...i have a little larger bioload that i should have and water changes that fast were getting expensive and time consuming...i invested in better flow and that helped but there were still spots...so i...

i like the big ol turbo snail...i doubt the star would bug it if you get the good size ones..they do good on walls

mine eat brine shrimp frozen...however if they wont eat prepared foods try like live tubifix worms or daphnia to get them to eat

some people need a short term remedy...i can check into a 500$ minimum chiller or do this for free

i assure you its ok....you would have to do it on a large scale to change multiple degrees or have a sudden drop of temp...be smart about it...i wouldnt recommend a solid frozen 20 bottle for a 20 gallon....but i have used 5 frozen solid ones on my 80 and they barely last 20 to 25 min and they...
