Yup! that would be me. LOL!

I bought the 100gal in Stockton, CA, I'm from Merced, CA. The tank was supposed to be a 150gal, the selling price was $80 bucks but I convinced the seller to sell it to me for $40 bucks. When I got to Stockton, after 50 minutes of driving, I saw the tank and realized it was a 100gallon tank, I...

The tank is leak tight. I don't think I'll need to re-silicone. Raudel

I've been trying to find a 80gal+ sump, but no joy! BUT!!! I found a 100 gallong Glass aquarium for $30 dollars in craigslist. PHOTOS Attached. I was wondering if you guys think it's a good idea to place this 100gal tank under my 265gal as a sump, I mean, it was cheap anyway. I would just need...

The reason why I ask for Sand color recommendations, is because once it's in the display tank it is pretty much there to stay. I don't want to make a mistake and then tell my self I should have gotten another color. Do you know which brings out more the color in a tank, the natural feel, which...

So Black I'll do away with the Black then. So we are left with Natural, White, or Golden. Anyone recommend one over the other for any specific reasons? Any photos that my help me choose? Raudel

Thanks, I'll do Aragonite Sand then. (Now what color to choose?) I currently have 50lbs of Black Sand but many say White sand is the way to go. I've seen, Black, White or natural, even Golden. Anyone have any pointers/tips as to which color should I get and why? Raudel

Thanks, What is the proper temperature? What should be the proper salinity or specific Gravity? Oh, and what should I feed my Live Rock? Raudel

New Question, I have the 195lb pounds of Live Rock in my 55 gallon Hexagon Tank. I have it with a specific gravity of 1.022 Will the Rocks stay live if I just keep the rock in the salt water at that specific gravity while using power heads to simply cycle the water around? (My Rock is growing...

Thank you for this clarification!!!! I have a good 195lbs of Pourus Live rock, so I'll include the UV sterilizer into my system. Thanks a bunch. Raudel

Thanks for your reply kms907. Does anyone else have any inputs? Raudel

Any new inputs from my last posts? Raudel

In addition to my previous Post. Would someone look at my Sump/skimmer unit and let me know if it's a good setup? I've read of sumps that have bio balls, skimmers, refugium, and more...should i look into making my sump more usefull? how? could someone sketch/design the perfect sump unit with...

UV Sterilizer Hi All, I bought this UV Sterilizer for $30 dollars. Pictures Attached. Any advice? I will begin with Live Rock and I don't want to kill any food supplies. I think the Sterilizer is the white cilinder, what is the black cilinder, and how do I use the meter, what should my...

Sump Exchange Hi All, Just wanted to mention that I exchanged my sump with a sump/skimmer setup with submersible pumps. Someone needed a fresh water setup with bio balls and could make use of my sump, and in exchange I took his sump/skimmer for my tank. Check out the PHOTOS. First two are...

Thanks for the warm welcome. Craglist.org has been my friend!!! People seem to fail at the SW attempt and put the tanks up for sell. But I contact them and offer quite less from what they wanted. The guy that sold me the live rock also gave a way to me Live sand and crushed coral, not as...

Thanks for the info! It's very helpfull. I'll be sure to use the RO/DI unit to use for my tank. I bout the 200 pounds of Fiji LiveRock for 300. Raudel

Makes perfect sense. thanks a bunch! I'm attaching a photo of all the live rocks I bought today. Who can guess How much I payed for them? Along with how much I should've payed. They are 195lbs of Fiji Live Rock. Raudel

Could you elaborate on this a bit? How do I make water for the tank?...Mixing Saltwater with tap water to a proper salinity suffice as making water for the tank? Yee! All the reading I've been doing lately has me all confused!...but it makes more sense every day! Thanks KMS907 for your reply...

Thanks, I'll sure look for one. Any other cleaning recommendations? And any recommended wood type for the stand, and should I add a skimmer for my system (Aqua C Remora Pro Protein Skimmer. Should I buy it? it's rated for a 100gallon tank, but since I have a sump I figure it should be good...

Great Articles!!! I love the 3 parts on sumps! Well it seems like I have a slightly smallar sump then recommended. For a 250 gallon tank I 20% sump would be a 50 gallon tank, I only have a 30 gallong tank. I'll have to look for something bigger, I've seen at craigslists 55 gallon tanks for...

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of how it was set up before I got it. I just know it was set up in a wall instead of a Stand. You say some of the parts are Old, Are they still usable? Do I have everything I need or do I need to purchase more items. I'm guessing the small aquarium that...

Thanks, I'm about to read all from my phone. I'll reply with feedback. thanks Raudel

Thanks, I've read the initial tips, and have a bit more understanding of the whole SW ideals. I honestly want to get the best equipment possible even if it takes me months to aquire all. From the Photos I submited in a post above. Who of you can come up with proper tank Stand dimensions to...

I sure hope so! Thanks! Hope you guys can download the link to my photos. I was hoping I could attach multiple photos through but the system only allows 4 attachments per post which means I would have to post 19 post separately, thus, the adrive link is a better option and there was no need to...
