im basically looking for tank bred discus paramaters (i posted in the saltwater section caues i know you reefers know way more about RO/DI than us planted guys ;)) my tap pH is about 7.6 and gh and kh are both less than 10 so im looking for something around 7.0 and less

thats the second recommendation for an aquasafe ive seen in two days ;) thats a good price too.

im looking for a less expensive RO/DI filter. i found a few on ebay. do they work like their supposed to(will my water end up at 0ppm and pH 7 or less)? and is 3X RO filtering necesary or any more beneficial? heres two.. 7 stage 100GPD RO+(3X)DI Reverse Osmosis Water Filter - eBay (item...

lol my dad thinks hes always right ;) its a GE Smartfilter, and it has 2 canisters. my budget is TIGHT. im 16 and unemployed so $150 is spilling the bucket over lol. my friend at the lfs said he could sell me some of his frags for cheap whenever i get started, so obtaining the corals wouldnt...

okay so im still trying to figure out if i can succesfully do a reef becuase i dont want to have just a fowlr and get tired of it in a couple months. i cant buy an RO filter (not in the budget) but i would still like to have nano reef because i want to learn about saltwater as well. my dad...

ive been told that i need about 3wpg for corals, is that correct?

i already have the aqueon 20 gallon kit. can i convert 2 hobs into a fuge?

is it a problem if i dont use a titanium heater?

so my new list is... 2 hydor koralia nanos 1 100w heater 30lbs aragonite (on sale!) 55? gallons worth of instant ocean (on sale too!) 25 lbs base rock 5 or so lbs of live rock

are the Zoo med power sweep powerheads any better than a maxi-jet? how many gph am i looking for? whats a reliable heater? thanks again for all the help!!

i can do pwc's every week. i already have a time set aside on friday to do it on my freshie tank so adding another one shouldnt be a problem ;) do i need a skimmer?

instead of buying a better hob and a skimmer, will this work? Skilter Filters

and is RO/DI water absolutely necessary? i dont think ill be able to afford it if it is :|

why is it best to wait? i will if its necessary. and are zoas good beginner polyps?

thanks guys :D i read all the nano reefing and starting up a fowlr tank articles last night. i learned alot! and this might sound stupid but is freshwater filter bacteria the same as saltwater? the tank is currently freshwater with a good colony of bacteria. should i clean the filters before...

yeah i get that. get like 15lbs of live rock to seed ~ 10 lbs unlive? rock lol. and ill probably go with some aragamax sand. how deep of a bed should i be looking for. 1-2 inches? more?

oh, and heres another big question. can i use my tap water? its florida well water, pH of about 7.4-8 i think right out of the faucet. thats out of the softener, should i use the hard water? and i only use prime to condition my water.

so heres what weve been talking about if anyone wants to learn from this as well! haha yeah im a freshie :D i still have my planted tank. i just want something to contrast it. im still shopping around for corals right now while i total up everything to whether or not i can afford it. i think i...

aha. i sent you another PM. just post your response here lol

So i want to start a 20 gallon fowlr (and get some corals when i can afford it) please tell me if my list is okay. after a month or two of cycling I would only have a pair of clowns and some shrimp/snails/crabs too. eventually i will try to get the clowns to host an anemone :) Need: Coralife...

Hey i'd like to buy a 30 inch light. please PM me with anything you have to offer. thank you :thumb:

heavily planting and injecting CO2 would be a good idea.. i just upgraded my lights to 2.6 WPG and didnt plant any more or add CO2 and i had a HUGE algae outbreak

whats the width on the pc light?

put a thick forest of plants in the back of your tank. mayaca and rotala indica work for me. you could also make a moss cave that your fish cannot fit into. this would give your shrimp somewhere to hide and you could watch them :D
