you still looking to sell or is it already over?

"If you want corals, go to Pacific Reef near GW College. " i agree, i'm not a sw guy, but i've heard nothing but good things about them.

a couple great recommendations on this thread... i live in HB as well and have to say that tongs is probably my favorite. i only have freshwater, but they always have a wide variety. a couple smaller stores i recommend for oddball stuff (mostly freshwater) 405 fish at goldenwest and mcfadden...

lol. a buddy of mine that runs a tank repair/cleaning service here in socal has an awesome setup for a tank he built. he has a built in the wall 500gl fw tank. the back half is in his garage. he built a custom piping setup that channels water into and out of his sump with the turn of a few...

i have to agree with bryan. overstocking at times is like walking a razors edge. one misstep can result in serious damage, however, if all goes as planned the results can be great.

if you are in LA, there are a large # of LFS in your area. where in LA are you? santa monica, the valley? in any case, if you want to go with a complete setup for a 125gl tank you're looking at a minimum of a grand. not a cheap hobby. don't cheap out on your fish, they will live longer and...

thanks for the insight. as to the legality of me having the sand. i'm a member of the local surfrider foundation chapter and after assisting in a beach clean up i was told by a few members of the parks dept (also old friends from high school) that if i wanted to take some home to feel free. i...

alright my friends- i have a few 5 gallon buckets full of genuine beach sand from beautiful huntington beach, ca. i've been thinking about changing over my 46gl bowfront to sand for awhile now and was thinking of using this newly acquired sand. are ther any toxins/poisons i would need to worry...

it really is amazing some of the myths that get perpetuated on some of these fish forums. i also do large water changes every couple weeks or so. my reasoning though is i'm changing water in a 300gl, a 110 and a 46gl. i alternate the 110gl and 46gl one week and the 300gl the next. when i...

"Is it doable without a sump? I don't really see that being an option. " yeah, but you're going to need heavy duty cannister filtration.

"Alright, thanks. Also, for a 240 gallon predator tank, which filter/heater option sounds better? 3 Eheim 2215 2 Eheim Ecco Comfort 2236 4 Visi-therm Stealth 250w Heaters Or 1 Eheim 2260 Canister 1 Eheim Ecco Comfort 2236 4 Visi-therm Stealth 250w Heaters Oh, and I changed my mind on...

definately possible with low bioload fish, but not realistic at all if you enjoy the larger freshwater fish available to the public (oscars, arrowanas, flowerhorns, etc)

do not put anything larger than 2 oscars in a 75, and only if you have the tank really over-filtrated. i've got a 300 with a super red arrowana, 1 silver arrowana, jardini, 1 red dragon flowerhorn, clown knife, 1 jaguar, 2 turquoise severums and 3 oscars. my tank flows about 4500gph. everyone...

for a 100gl tank.... lets hear'em
