    Getting bacK up and running

    I have a biocube 29 that has been sitting stagnant for about a year ( no circulation) with rock & sand. The water is clear & it still has pink coralline algae on the rock & glass. Should I pull out the rock & sand and start over or just do some major water changes?

I told him exactly what I wanted & he called me from the auction with some choices that passed his inspection - I ran the Vin# & we agreed on a max price for the bidding. I have the car 3 years now...

    Where to get water for new Tank

    Where to get water for new Tank

    I'm setting up a new BC29 tank and would like to know if anyone uses tap water or RO/DI or maybe Distilled from Walmart. I am in Cranford (Union County) if that makes any difference... I don't know if I want to invest in a RO/DI unit just yet, so does anyone have any advice on where to buy...

    Biocube 29 for first tank

    I am thinking of getting into SW and was wondering about the BC29. I figure that I can start out with FOWLR and then slowly move into corals, but I have a few questions: I have read mixed advice on starting out with a small tank, some say it's foolish to start with such a small tank while...

    Play Sand

    I am planning on starting up a tank and was looking for some aquarium friendly play sand at HD. What I found was Bonsal "Premium Grade" Natural Sand (it said Bonsal an Old Castlle Co. written on it). Also, I put some vinegar on it and there was no reaction then dropped some sand in the vinegar...
