Hey gang, Now that Dan and I got our ro/di system from AWI, I think we are ready for some coral for our 55g tank. Looking for some local people selling some frags of beginner corals for the tank. Was thinking mushrooms as a definite for some beginner coral and we are open to all other...

I'll make a thread in Tale of the Tank about our two FOWLRs in a day or so when I take some new pictures. I'll post a link in here when I do. They arent anything special by any means though - just common livestock in them. 55 has a bicolor blenny, lawnmower blenny and a blue damsel and the 35...

The Damsel is healthy and eating like a pig. He is about 1.5" long. He is relatively peaceful too- hasnt bullied either our bicolor or lawnmower blenny in the 55g tank. He picked on our other blue damsel a little bit but we separated them before any major problems arose. Reason we are getting...

I got a free Blue Damsel I got in one of my tanks if anyone wants it, they can have it. I'm located in Mullica Hill, 08062. Its for free but if you want to trade a frag of a coral for the damsel + some cash that would be cool. - To help us start our reef in our tank. We are just starting...

Little more, If your looking for gaming stick with LCD, look for something that can contain high black levels because alot of LCD's lack that. Plasma is going to have higher quality but its not for gaming, unless you buy the higher-end models because they have something in the panel where...

I bought a 42" LG 1080p LCD TV from my work (Best Buy) Its awesome, if your looking into a TV and live near Deptford come into my work, and I'll help you out. If your looking for HDMI cables, order them either online or go to Comcast because Comcast gives HDMI cables for free, tell them you...

Wow. Poor sharky. >:( And during Shark Week on the Discovery channel. Coincidence? I think not!

Dan and I have 2 FOWLR's. 55gal and 35gal. But the 55 will become a reef tank in the future. -Ralph

That is great advice. We are really trying not to skimp this time and do everything right. Thats why we are being such a pain on this site asking you knowledgeable people as many questions as we can think of so we get the best products for our setup. Wish i would have learned that sooner though...

Our power gravel vac works ok. Just was looking for a better option for weekly maintenance on the crushed coral since a cleaner crew really cant clean it too well (at least thats what i think.) The link that dan posted seems nice cause you dont remove water from the tank when cleaning detritus...

Oh cool. I'll have to look into that. I saw that the zebra and fuzzy dwarf lions were 6-7" full grown and that was pretty disappointing. Our LFS (Aquarium Center) had 3 Volitans and 2 Dwarf lions when we went to pick out our 2 Clarkii clownfish - the lions are even prettier in person. Such cool...

Hey guys, How do you clean the bed of your tank? What cleaner do you use, or do you just have invertebrates clean your tank? We have an older powered gravel vacuum we use but it gets annoying with how much water is lost from doing the cleaning. I was looking into ordering this...

Right now we arent exactly sure what we are putting in. All that is set in stone is 2 clowns (likely species will be either tomato or clarkii - was warned by some friends to stay away from maroons cause they get super aggressive when they get older) and a bicolor blenny who is being moved from a...

Lights came in today! very fast shipping from CA in like 3 days... I think were going to use the egg crate for our tank, so clowns sometimes jump out through the egg crate?

Powerheads are in the tank (only 2 are running though - didnt think to buy another powerstrip for the 3rd powerhead. DOH!) Both are nice powerheads and pretty quiet. Can barely hear the two of them over the protein skimmer and power filter. K2 is a little louder than the 6025 but not by much. My...

lights should be here soon, just received all our powerheads. Another question for you guys, do you run open tanks with no lid? do yo recommend it? or get the glass covers for my 55. Or will it cause to much heat, kinda like the green house effect. Or the screen covers I saw somewhere. Thanks...

We'll let you know how it is and take some pics when its all setup. We ordered it earlier tonight. Now its the waiting game til it gets here. -Ralph

Ok- We will look into making a thread when the time for more fish comes. We will try to buy captive bred fish as much as possible - going to keep an eye out for that at our LFS's. Yes we will be using a 35 gal hex tank as a QT tank. Know thats kind of overkill for a QT but I have that tank...

Thanks for the response on the 6 bulb fixture. Believe we are going to order the 6 bulb Catalina T5 tonight or tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help everyone!!! -Ralph

thats good to know. well if we ever have any problems, we'll be sure to PM you. thanks they come in wednesday along with the k2 and the other stuff we ordered. cant wait to get them in the tank! -Ralph
