he got an education on it. he thought it was a little chilly and wanted to make sure the fish were warm for the night. my ammonia is back down and the nitrates and trites didnt spike. did give me a chance to do some new aquascaping :)

I love my son, but him turning the heater on the tank to 105, didnt make daddy happy. killed off everything in the tank, fortunately not a lot in there at the moment. i think my tank is cycling again. i tested and my ammonia is through the roof. guessing that the high heat killed of the...

I am thinking about starting back up my 90 gal and its been a while. lighting was always an issue for me. i have seen some info on other sites about using sho cfl's to do a cheep lighting setkup. i was curious as to people's thoughts. my aquarium will be behind a wall so ugly is okay and i...

3 days ago i got a yellowhead jawfish. once in the tank he found a spot and laid on the sand. he had moved to another spot by the end of the evening. in the morning, no where to be found and it is now been 2 days missing. should i be concerned? i have a lid on the tank so he didnt jump. i...

the reef has both (fresh is pretty good as far as i can tell. just go in knowing what you want. i dont trust their advise much. the abyss is reef only.

anyone see a reason for me not to get this? 90 gal tank i am just starting back up. price looks a little cheep so i thought i would ask. link is long, but its right 48" Metal Halide Aquarium Reef Light 500W LED FAN LEG - eBay (item 290295636847 end time Feb-17-09 20:49:57 PST)

my only fear with the sump is the j/u tubes i am going to have to use due to the tank not being "reef ready" how do i make sure the pump i get and the outflow will match? i know simple question, but how can they be exactly even?

the hq looks fine to me

I know of 2 "The Reef" at about 52 and Keystone "the Abyss" at 65th and binford blvd anyone have options or alternatives?

It's been a long time and several moves since i have had my 90 gal up and running. approx 6 years and most of what was in my head is gone. the 90 is not "reef ready" I have 190 pounds of LR that is now base rock I bought my new house and had special electrical run to the basement for the tank...

will a vho bulb fit into a standard hang down "shop light", or do you have to buy a special ballast for vho? dont want to spend more cash than i need to

a small tip on the water. to move tank water do this: get several milk crates and a box of strong trash bags. fill the bags with the water inside a milk crate. tie off the bag and then fill another. the water will now "stack and take up a ton less room. (i move a lot and have a 90 gal) enjoy.

well lets chat. 1. no not really. setup well and sw can be just a seasy as anything else 2. i suggest setting up a dsb of 3 inches and then 75lbs to 100 lbs of live rock, fill with ro/di water, hook up powerheads, heater and a skimmer. then add in the shrimp form the grocery store. PLEASE...

your lfs will probably buy the frags from you. saves you from trying to ship something live. other option would be a reginal forum where you could sell to someone who could meet you.

Will this be worth the hassle? yes yes yes The mantis shrimp thing isnt as common as you might think and the "worms" more than likely are exactly what you want in your tank, bristle worms. you dont need additonal lighting for LR what you already have will be just fine. do you have a dsb now...

yes 1.5 -2.0 lbs per gallon LR and a protien skimmer and you are set. more live rock = less trouble. your 90 gallon should have 135-180 lbs of rock. I bought a turbo floater 1000 protien skimmer for my 90 gal and would say it skims the heck out of her. enjoy.

the scissor sisters are horrible...at least this song. wow how can you take a great song like this and just manhandle it to the point that the song isnt good anymore? wow its bad

yeah they do look soft at the lfs and when they close up you see the skeleton. nature is fun.

any skimmer at this point would be better. 100 percent right on the bio load you have in your tank and the nitrates on the bio wheel arent helping much. not sure what kind of water movement you have, but as posted above, you will probably want more. also, you need to be sure you are not using...

speaking of pink floyd, there is someone out there doing "comfortably numb". its the scissor sisters (sic) and i have to listen to it at least 3 times a day at work (retail manager) still sadder is i ask they people who work for me if they have ever heard of Pink Floyd and some say no and...

boy if we could just get another 3 feet of snow that would be great. only 2 feet so far this year. i hate shoveling and yet i refuse to by a snowblower. darn neighborhood kids dont knock on my door either.

can we see a pic?

yes the puffer and the snowflake would eat the shrimp. i am wondering if the shrimp would even make it to the bottom of the tank before digestion. :slurp: 1. :angel: ok 2. :uzi: suggest getting rid of 3. :thumb: any of the ids are okay so leave it. enjoy. LR is so much fun. :D

I think this tank progression is going to be one of the most fun things to watch on this site. I almost feel like we have been a part of it. as always, we need more pics :)
