awesome...let me know how it goes. I might order some more soon as the majority of it went in my main tank...and i've got a nano project that i want to get going.

Rock is nice... I'll post some pics soon...the rock looks nice...lots of sponges (getting some die-off), lots of tube corals, clams, worms and macro. Also have a gargonian. Had quite a few small brittle stars...not sure if they made it or not...haven't seen them since putting them in the...

I sent an email to liverocks.com the other week when I was looking to make a purchase and received this response from them: I am afraid we are out of the rock business for a while, at least a year. Four hurricanes passed near our keys reefs this year and Rita really hit them hard. The damage...

Getting some... Decided to go with floridaliverocks...their deco rock and some sand. Getting the rock for $198 delivered (30 lbs.) Should be arriving on Tuesday. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it looks on arrival. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. :D

Looking to get some advice on great live rock online since liverocks.com is not currently available due to Hurricane Wilma. What is the 2nd best online solution behind liverocks.com if u are looking for live rock with good life and critters? My lfs's around here don't cut it really. :(

I've got a System II I've got a 40 gallon system II. I'm pretty happy with it...but I modified it. I took out the bioballs and tray and utilize that area with mangrove plants. I currently don't use a skimmer. When it says 100 gallon...you are not getting 100 gallons of swim space...it's...

Update on Krylon Fusion I used Krylon Fusion Navy Blue on the back of a Eclipse 12 tank (acrylic) and it worked great. Looks similar to the backing 'cobalt blue' used in Seaclear aquariums. It adhered to the acrylic nicely and looks great. Side note: I picked up the Eclipse 12 from...

thanks for all your replies quarry....now i'll get a readin'

quarry, before doing that shouldn't i test for the cupramine, run polyfilters and cuprasorb or activated carbon....and then if i still detect copper...then do all that.... that's like $40 in aragonite and $50 in rock that I would have to replace

indy, why would i never see a nitrite spike if all the bacteria had been killed and ammonia spiked? are u saying that i would then not have a normal cycle because of cupramine still in the system? thx for your response

it says on the bottle that it remains in solution and does not contaminate the filter bed...so shouldn't the filter bed be fine?

Quick background.... 6 month old tank 40 gallon tank with aragonite and dead base rock. Everything was going fine until the last fish was added (3 fish total). Experienced a total tank wipeout from Velvet...yes I know...now have a QT. I emptied the tank (minus the sand), let it dry for a...

Does anyone have recommendations for sleep/quiet time for fish? Meaning, no powerheads, lights off for a certain amount of time. Got some auto-timers and am trying to figure out if I should cut powerheads, lights at certain time of night and for a certain number of hours? Anyone?

Yeh, I already read thru that with no conclusions reached. I'm not trying to get him to puff mind u, but would like to know if tobies do puff as I've seen conflicting posts on various sites. I would like to know as much as I can about the fish since I own one. Thanks for the link.

What about 2 flame hawks or same conspecies Would 2 flames go at it?

Do toby puffers (sharpnoses) puff up like true puffers do (porcs, dogfaces) I've seen conflicted posts that say: 1-They dont puff at all 2-They do puff, but not as much as true puffers (see above) 3-They do puff to twice their size. I've got a sharpnose hawaiian spotted puffer that I...

I only dripped them for an hour....are these the signs of the beginning of the end for them...should i do a partial change and get the salinity in range...or will that affect the other snails, fish that I already have in the tank?

Just got 2 choc chip starfish and they are getting stringy and also look like a fungus on the top. I'm also seeing a foam substance from where they have moved. Is this the beginning of disintegration? Right now the only parameter that I see that could be an issue is the salinity which is...

Is there a starfish species that would work with a dog-faced puffer? I was thinking a chocolate chip star...but then quickly realized how yummy that would appear to the puffer. Anything else that I can use besides starfish with a dog-faced puffer to clean up after this pig of a fish?

it looks like i got it working.....i had the membrane in backwards i think. (For some reason I couldn't get it in that way the first time so figured it was wrong). The instructions were less than clear. Right now I'm getting about 5 parts waste water to 1 part pure. This sounds about right...

lol...my next purchase. Used all my coin on the unit. For the most part in the beginning i was going to assume that i was getting decent water with a 6 stage unit as long as my water waste was either 3:1 or 4:1. Unfortunately, since I'm at 1:1 I have no warm fuzzy. Is there anywhere to get a...

I don't have a pressure gauge on the system, but believe that my pressure is fine. I checked all of the lines and they are hooked up correctly. I'm using a faucet adapter for this setup and running it directly from the faucet. At what pressure should I turn on the water?

did a short test....making about 425ml of waste water to 500ml of pure water. So it's almost 1:1 with slightly more pure water being made than waste water. This seems screwed up to me.

Just got an RO/DI unit on Ebay from Aqua-Safe Solutions. The problem is that I'm making more pure water than waste water. Is this possible? How does the membrane channel the waste water vs. the pure water. Did I install the membrane incorrectly? Scratching my head here.

"A high-performance organic filtration system maintains a clean aquatic environment with minimal upkeep". Uhh, what does that mean exactly :?:
