    New way into growing corals

    In the right place in the ocean it is just about that simple. Unfortunately that doesn't generally happen in our tanks! It would be really cool to build a structure like that and mount caps all over it though... wouldn't it?! I bet that would look AWESOME! What could we build it with... hmmm...

    Advice On New Tank Purchase

    The 30" front to back dimension is what kills the ability to purchase stock tanks for that footprint. I think that even the new Marineland deep dimension tanks, which would be the closest to the dims you specify would be 36 front to back rather than 30. I'm sure once you've had that width...

    Hey there world!

    Welcome. You've gotten some great advice already. Go slowly and remember that you can't keep as many SW fish per gallon as you can freshwater! ;D I have a 180 with just over 15 fish in it, lol!

    We have a 150g stock tank you can borrow. You should be able to buy some bags from your favorite LFS or possibly just use ziplock bags.

    New way into growing corals

    That is REALLY cool. It looks like a metal frame covered in concrete? The structure looks like it would make for a really cool reef structure in our tanks (once it filled in). Hmm...

    October Meeting: Saturday the 17th (Bridgewater)

    Bob, if you have an extra piece of pink BN I'd like to buy a piece from you. I lost my colony just before MACNA and would love to be able to replace it. Thanks!

    Big Trouble...Tank about to break!! Help Quick!!!

    +2 for not cleaning the sand with FRESH water. Use old saltwater, change water, etc. But NOT fresh. That will kill off all of your bacteria. Mix the sand up a lot and siphon off any detritus, rinse with saltwater. Keep your rock fed while you are "cycling" it to prevent the good bacteria from...

    Eliminating wastewater for Ro/Di?

    You can add a second stage to your existing RO/DI. You don't need to replace it, just expand it!

    do I have enough light over my 29?

    That should be fine, especially if you have actinic supplementation. 150w over 18" depth is plenty.

    Start Up Advice???

    Bow fronts are miserable to get pictures in and tend to distort the view a bit. Look long and hard at them before you jump into one. Ditch the canister filter, get a sump and a skimmer that can go in the cabinet. Don't buy PC lighting, whatever you do. But T5s will meet most needs. Buy...

    I've suggested that to others as well. It is reported to work! Who am I to argue with a clown!
