I pay $1.50 for SW and .75 for RO/DI in Fort Worth tx Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My live stock is 2 b/w percs a fire tail goby and a diamond watchmen goby. Going to adding a few more mid swimmers for a little more movement in the tank. I have over 40lbs of LR in the DT and another 30lbs in a 10g sump under the tank with a HOB reef octopus skimmer.

Just wanted to show off my tank. I just added a new bicolor frogspawn. My brain coral is about 5"-6". Have a huge colony of green zoa polyps. With the cup I have some green striped mushrooms waiting to attach to some rubble.

I had a similar issue when I added some bags a live sand to my tank due to having just 1/2" in there. Had to add for my gobies. I put my sock filter on my supply to the sump. I also got out my small HOB filter and put some filter floss in there. Between the two it pulled all that extra silt that...

I had the same issue with my zoas. They were brown for almost 3 years. They were hitchhiker's I got I some rock from my LFS. They didn't start to grow till I put a T-5 VHO over them. I got an led last week after Carey's advice on a unit. I've been slowly adjusting the intensity over the past...

Sounds like a good deal then. I was thinking about using my t-5 along with it. Would that help with depth?

So it's been a few years and just wanted to show y'all what the colony looks like sorry for brining on old post from the dead. Didn't see a need to make a new one

im looking at getting one of these (Current USA Orbit Marine LED Aquarium Light) to keep zoas and LPS. the only real issue that i have right now is the over all 24w. i've seen other lights that have like 120w. Reason i ask i see reviews on marineland and amazon saying their corals love it, but...

And sounds like reefcleaner.org is the way to go. Turns out my mom is in the same issue in OKC with like 2 stores. She just told me she got her CUC from reefcleaners.org

Thanks all for the advice and help. I live in the DFW metroplex in TX and we have two stores to choose from. Ones stock is so expensive I go to the other who really only sales corals at amazing prices. So I don't have very many options other than online.

Sorry, but having or not having a CUC wasn't my question. It's about ordering livestock online and peoples experience with it. Your statement makes perfect sense, my tank in only a 29g I do weekly PWC and still have a but of algae now and then. I use RO/DI.

I'm a little uneasy ordering from online. Mainly due to me living in TX. everything I order will come from either coast. Right now I'm looking at getting a CUC from reefs2go. Has anyone had experience with them? How did your livestock arrive? Thanks for the help.

it is ro/di. I'll look at the single on BRS site. Its well with in my price range. As I have never used a reactor how would it connect to my system. Would it go in or outside the sump and does it need a pump?

Im looking at getting a reactor to lower or completely get rid of my phosphates. My phosphates sit around 0.25ppm for the most part. I have R/O unit with filters and membranes changed in december 2013. My light cycle is 6hrs and i still get bad hair algae outbreak every few months. I do 10gal WC...

no i have a 40g with 15g sump. i don't even count in food allotment for most of my inverts. they're scavengers so they eat what they find. i just keep my fish and corals fed.
