well she added 6 tiny hermit crags and 3 tiny snails 3days ago along with some bio spira. I just checked her readings and everything is all within range, only thing is calcium is a tad bit low at 350ppm so I added some more salt water I had mixed and will check on it later to see if I need to...

As for lighting I am using the stock lighting minus the led moonlight. Timer kicks both lights on at 7 730, 530-6 the white life goes off and around 9ish the purple light goes out. As for filtration the first thing i did was chuck out the carbon insert and put in a oceanic protein skimmer. The...

My girlfriend just set up an Oceanic Biocube 29 (i will post pictures tonight) so far she has put an Oceanic protein skimmer in, 35lbs of Figi LR and 10lbs of Live sand. I have been hearing different opinions on how soon she can start adding livestock. I know that the tank needs to cycle, but I...

yes that is the plan

not sure of pump, i want to get some serious flow but also easy on electric and noise as this setup is in my bedroom. My plan was to have a wavemaker and run the top returns for a few minutes, then blast out of the spray bars for a few minutes. some have told me to run 2 pumps and just have the...

here is a terrible drawing about how I am planning my corals and what I would think my CLS setup would be... the 2 black circles would be the inlets to the pump. Top red circles would be returns and the bottom 2 red circles would be the entrys for the spray bar system. I dont know if I need...

that is all I need, maybe 6 holes max, might end up with 4 1.5" bulkhead holes and 2 3/4" bulkhead holes for a spray bar

thanks but ouch after seeing those prices, might end up going with ebay and faster shipping

anyone in NJ carry them? I thought grainger would stock them but there website is down and someone told me they dont... I know i can get them online or ebay cheap but I would like to start drilling asap. thanks

pictures up top show what I have. Just the 180 tank with the corner overflows, the sump which looks to be around 40gallons not sure exactly, the MRC MR2 skimmer as of now that is all I have. oh yea plus some starboard for the bottom :) Your explanation of the closed loop is fine, i thought that...

they told me the warehouse was actually in lebanon and that is how I mapquested it, but the signs all around the warehouse said Whitehouse Station and they are located in Salem Industrial Park right on rt 22 east

great they have what i want in stock, heading up there right now thanks! ;D

just like the title says. Anyone know where they sell it? I know i saw a link of a place in S. Jersey that sells plastics but I cant find it. Im in central NJ but obviously willing to travel

anyone have experiences with closed loop systems? i tried speaking with an experienced guy at my LFS and he advised me not do anymore then 1 hole in my tank. said im already weakening it enough with the one hole... my plan was to do 2 CLS inlets and then have 3 or 4 returns. I really dont want...

i thought the standard for plumbing is 1.5".. the sump is all 1" plumbing. I could be completely wrong about how to hook all of this stuff up or what but my overflows have two 1 3/4" holes which would mean a 1" bulkhead fitting. the kit had 1" bulkheads but one was reduced to a 3/4" line for the...

i bought a tamron set from B&H for my nikon d50, it was a tamron 28-80 and 70-300... i know myself, another 2 friends and a friend of mine is a professional photographer who uses the same lenses and recommended them to us. We use the cameras non-stop for Freestyle motocross, the crazy sport...

just got back from tropiquarium. Picked up 2 overflow kits for my tank and i ended up leaving with an Oceanic 3 sump tank with all the fittings. The overflow kit included a 1" discharge and a 3/4" return pipe with dual adjustable nozels(since Im going CLS do I even need these?) the woman talked...

sorry if it is a repost of the store but Referwanabe sent me there for some bulkhead fittings. store was great, huge display tanks, tons and tons of great looking corals. huge selection of fresh and saltwater fish. loads of tanks from 1g to 300gal in stock,probably more but that is all that I...

just picked up my protein skimmer from Dave(referwanabe) its an MRC MR2. Just finished up all the sheetrocking in the new room so Im looking to work on the tank right now. I just found out my 40gal breeder I had isnt meant to hold water or so the tag says(It use to be my phytons tank) so it...
