Alright, still waiting for an answer on some of the RO/DI info, but just to let you guys know I checked the tank out and it looks to be in good condition. (haven't put any water in it) .. I am getting the Media Rack and Stand very soon. but What are your thoughts on my water post above? Any and...

Does anyone have any thoughts on my above posts about the ppm of my water and what it means in terms of ro/di?

Quick update: I just joined as a preimum member. I thought this site really does have some great advice, and I trust it. So I thought I would contriubite to the community. I hope it helps. My 14g Bio Cube came in the mail today! I didn't open it, but I want to soon to inspect it before the...

Scott you bring up some good points. Maybe there is more to the water then RO/DI. I do have something called a Water Zero drinking water filter system and it came with a pen that I can "test" the water. My tap water says: 129 ppm. The pen says: TDP Tester. Model ZT-2 On/Off Switch and HMD. Again...

Ok so the selling idea might be a bit out there... But it should still pay for me using it, plus I can trust my water vs walmarts or something. What do they range?

Well yea. IF I buy a few gallons a week for water changes I feel as if a ro/di machine Would pay for itself in a matter of months. IF I sell a few gallons on Craigslist I could maybe even make a buck or two?

I was thinking about selling the water on Craigslist.

Thanks for the replies! I am def going to get the intank media rack next. My tank should be delivered today. I also want to get an ro/dI machine, but don't want to spend a 5pm. I live In an apt so it has to be simple and I would prefer just pouring water into filter rather the. Hooking it up to...

Hello everyone. It has been a while since I posted here. The last time I posted I was having issues with my 30g tank. It was my 1st try at a tank, and the pressure of problems, and life had just gotten to me, so I took down my tank. My brother has a 14g Biocube and he was very happy with the...

Ok guys, I am going to give it a shot. I have read all of your comments and I am about to start trying to solve this problem. Turbo Snails. I had four of them, but they all died. Any idea why? I am going to cut back my feeding to two or three days a week. I am only going to feed them a few...

I have been at this salt water fish tank since May and I just have had nothing but bad luck it seams. I went on a week vacation when I thought I was just starting to get the hang of things I came back to a ton of algae . Now I had some before, but I had just done a water change and sucked a ton...

two clown fish. i feed them usally 1 cube of the frozen stuff when i do feed them that. and when its the pellets i feed them a couple pinches. most of it falls the the ground so i get nervous they don't eat enough so that's why i usually give them 2nd pinch. how much should i be feeding? i...

blue lights are on for 8 hours. white lights are on for 6 in the middle of the eight. I feed them every other day. With a mix between frozen food, and pellets.

So I have had my tank set up since mid March. You can look for my previous post about just getting everything set up, as this is a new topic I thought I would post a new thread and not highjack my old one. My sand was turning brown a lot in the beginning and I had a lot of green hair algee. Now...

I don't have a phosphate test yet. I am going to get one at petco today. My pH is at 8.0 (how do I get that up to 8.2?) My Ammonia is 0 My Nitrate is 0 and my Nitrate is about 10ppm. I am going to buy a new sponge type cleaner to get the hard to reach spots that my magnate cleaner can't get. I...

Alright so let me give you guys a quick update and then ask some of my new questions. I ended up picking up two clowns at the beginning of May. Never had my spike, but my local fish store said that was normal with all the live rock, and live sand. They seam pretty happy and content. Eat like...

I will consider getting a shrimp or something to help with the cycle. I still haven't had a nitrite or amonia spike so i dunno. im going to go to my local saltwater store on wednesday to talk to them about it. my lights came in the mail today carey, and it's weird. each switch has 1 blue 1...

Just a quick update: I got more live rock, and live stand. Still waiting on my lights to be shipped. I got my salt to 1.023/4ish so that's good. But my ammonia won't spike! Still waiting :( I hope I didn't do anything wrong.

Hey every/one. Already got a thread going on in the Saltwater Help (called ... so now what? ...) and there are some great replies on there! But I thought I would introduce myself in the Member Introduction section too. My name is Michael. I am almost 26 years old, and have wanted a fish tank for...

(note, I ask a lot of questions somewhat within this post, sorry if it's confusing. Thanks for any and all advice) Hey guys! Just want to give you some progress on my tank! :) Super excited! Just got done with day one of getting everything set up. I bit the bullet and went to my local salt...

World of Warcraft! That's too funny I play WoW & Star Wars. Crazy lol. Anyway I guess this just opened up a world of other questions for me, I don't know if I should flood the forum with them, or perhaps we can talk via AIM or something? Let me know what would work best. I guess I'll ask some...

I did a quick Google search for my tank I bought at Petco today and a reply to a post from 2011 by carey came up. I wasn't sure I wanted to "hijack an old post like that, so I thought I'd ask here. I am 100% new to fish and saltwater/freshwater. I have been wanting to get into this hobby for...
