I have this Brown/rust colored algae growing on my tank and some of my live rock. Is it daitoms? How do i get rid of it? I went on a trip for 4 days and left the light on and when I came back, I had these rust colored algae on the front of my tank and on a few live rocks. Any advise would be...

ilikefish Did you ever get your bulbs from petmeister.com? How is the quality?

I was thinking of buying a RO/DI unit for my 40g tank. It seems like people are saying RO is for drinking and RO/DI is for reef systems. I figured, since I will be buying the RO/DI unit for my aquarium, why not use the purified water for drinking also. What I am wondering was if RO/DI water...

Re: In negotiations with HD in California! Any update yet? Also, I sent you a PM Rob.

Runway1, I spoke to the guy. His name is chris and he lives in West Covina but works in HB, so it should be right by you. Im planning on getting 50lbs from him of the $2 "pre cured" walt smith rock. He said he had some fully cured rocks for $2.75 with coral but he sold the ones with coral so...

runway, im not sure where in So-Cal you live, but I found a guy from recycler.com that is selling the Walt-Smith Fiji LR for $2/lb, also, you can try http://www.oceanproaquatics.com/shop/index.php/cPath/30_88. They are in chino so if you are down that way, might be a close drive. I was looking...

Jeff's main store is about 15 min from me. The Gardena location is like a big warehouse and the Orange store is more of a store. They seem to have a lot of live goods but not as much dry goods. They have pretty nice people working there though.

i would acutally love to get a psudochromis but from what i've read, they seem to need at least a 30g tank. I don't want to subject it to having to stay in my 6g tank till my 40g is setup

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll give the coral banded shrimp a try

I got the LR from a guy I bought my used 40G setup from. I guess they are overpopulated cause he was overfeeding... I don't have anything in my 6g tank right now except a few hermits. Before I add fish in the 6g, I'd like to try to get rid of the worms if possible. If not...I guess I gotta...

whats the easiest way to get rid of bristle worm? The most I've seen at one time was about 20 so I assume that there are way more then that. I've read that its beneficial, but when does it get to be too many? I have about 6-7lbs of LR in my 6g eclipse. I don't mind a few but I see wayy too...

ilikefish, let me know how they do on the packaging and how the bulbs are. I also found another site with even cheaper bulbs... customaquatics.com I have to call them and make sure that their "linear" pin design will be the right "german snap in" type of connector for my JBJ setup but if it...

I looked at hellolights, but they dont seem to have the 4 pin linear type thats 36" and 96w. These suckers are turning out to be harder to find then I thought.

I need new PC bulbs for my JBJ 2x96w and have been unable to find any at my LFS. I have found a few well known online sites that carry the bulbs but so far, petmiester.com seem to be the lowest. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Any input would be greatly appreciated...

Hey VoiceOfReason, I'm starting a new 40g setup. When you get some we are both up and running with some coral...maybe we can do some coral frag trading. I'm in Long Beach so we're fairly close. BTW, GL with the new setup and the guys on here give excellent advice.

I will be using substrate that is not very condusive to make it LS and I was wondering if just having LR and hopefully my substrate will become some sort of LS be ok as a bio filter? I just got a 40g tank and have about 2" of a mixture of sand/pebbles/crushed coral as my substrate. I plan on...

quarryshark, Thank you for the info. I guess I better take out the sand out of my tank and go get some new sand. I read the article on how to cycle without fish so I will definitely do the fishless cycle and hope to get my tank up and running soon.

I finally got a 40G setup. I bought a Used setup from a guy but the acrylic tank i got from him was in terrible condition so I went and bought a new 40G glass tank. Here is what I got from him... He had a Tang of some sort and a Maroon clown ( pretty big) with about 50-60 lbs of live rock...

Thanks for all the great info guys. My sister has a RO unit at her place so I guess I'll be stealing water from her place :D

No? To the Brita? or to having any experience with the Tap Water Filter?

I saw an ad in a magazine for a Tap Water Filter for about $30. It says it does 10g/hour but does not mention the lifecycle of the filter. Anyone have any experience with this filter? Also, would something like a Brita water filter you put on the faucet be suitable for purifying tap water...

Maybe you can find more info on http://www.nano-reef.com/. I'm in the process of trying to set up my Eclipse System 6 into a nano reef. They seem to have lots of great ideas...such as a DIY project to make a small skimmer costing about $2 worth of material to make...but people seem to be...

Anyone find this sand anywhere in the So Cal region? I'm looking to setup a 40g SW tank next month and this would help a lot. Thanks
