Bconn thanks for the reply. I'm curious as to why you say this? Is it because of the numbers I posted, or do you know by factual knowledge or experience. I am not questioning to try you, I just think if there is any facts on this situation it would be great help to other reefers with well water...

I just found my TDS meter and checked my water supply in the house. It appears to be 71ppm straight from the well and 110ppm after the water softener. This doesn't seem right to me. Could this be true? If so, should I hook up the RO unit before or after the softener? Logically I believe I...

Do you think it is safe to put in right away or do I have to cure it under the right conditions? Taz

I have some live rock that is probably dead rock by now. It was excess when I had my 120 set up. I put it in a rubbermaid bin with saltwater and a tight lid and had it in the basement for probably 2 years. when I moved it was put outside in the shade for 2 months( forgot about it). I looked in...

Thanks for the reccomendation. I have the Iwaki 100. It was set up on my old system with basement sump on a 120 alone. It did ok for the 120, but it was full bore and the overflows had room to spare. For this reason I do not believe that this pump will handle another tank with the 120 wich is...

I'm finally gathering all the equipment to hook up my tanks. I have a basement sump (good ol' 100g rubbermaid)so I will be pumping up to main floor and then horizontally about 5 feet in each direction to two separate tanks. one tank is my 120g and the other tank is the 200g deep dimension tank...

This sounds right. It has been the story since the first month or two that they opened. The pond side of the business has always been priority no 1. I had a past employee say that he used store stock and supplies for the ponds and maintenance, which left the store without. When asked to order...

Hey John, What kinds of frags does the club have would you guys be abe to snap a few pictures? Taz

You have every right to be scared, That tank looks great ! I damaged a couple of pieces from my reef when I moved it to my brother's house. I was upset at first until I remembered that all of my corals were purchased as frags and grew out to be what they are now so they will grow again in the...

I'm starting to get a list together for plumbing supplies to set up my new reef ready tank. On my last tank I plumbed everything with flex PVC and barb fittings all the way from the tank to the basement sump. This time I am thinking about doing regular PVC pipe. I've seen many people use both...

Wendy, I was going to buy from TFJ about 2 months ago. They were the best price at the time, but 2 weeks after I got the quote when I contacted them to order, they claimed that the price increased . In the same time frame and still to this date. The Hidden Reef has quoted me only $100 dollars...

Thanks Mom...wow that sounds wierd! LOL We've had around a dozen kids ranging from 3 weeks to 3 years old. My first fosterdaughter was returned to her mother after 15 months. That was really tough. We adopted all four of our kids(2 sibling sets of 2) ages 6,5,4,3. with all thaat we're going...

Thanks all and Happy father's day in return. I do not think mine could have been happier. The adoption of my younger two went though on Friday and we are now officially family. We had 3 great days of fun and sun at playplaces, the campground and beach. I was also handed the cash to go ahead and...

This product has the most mixed reviews that I've ever seen. I'm glad it is working for John and I will like to see what he says down the road. Quite honestly I was shocked with John's post on this and I was afraid for him being bashed for buying/falling for it. But with the knowledge and...

I had about 1-2" of sand bed in my 120gal reef. I assume this would be considered a shallow sand bed correct? I have heard people say anywhere from 1-2 pounds of sand are needed for a deep sand bed. Is there such a thing as Too much sand in a DSB? I will be building a 200gal reef shortly and am...

I actually picked up 2 bags at the Reef yesterday. It was all they had for some reason. I need a few more. Dr Jim. can you pm me a price on that sand Thanks Taz

Kat, I think oddly enough it depends on the size of the tank or manufacturer for some reason. I've been pricing 2 different tanks from 2 different manufacturers from many stores. Someone who had a good deal on one tank wanted too much for the other tank. so if I wanted both tanks, I'd have to...

Yes they do look sweet. Jr, I do not remember the exact price, I looked at so many prices had a lot going on, but I believe it was right around $1500 for the tank, canopy and stand. I'm sure somebody will be there this weekend and can post the exact price for you. Taz

Just got back from the hidden reef. They do still have the 150 there. It is nice and what I thought was a good price too. Being that I currently have a 120 which is 4 ft long I have to go with the 200. Taz

Cool, I was going there today to buy some salt and ask about the tank. If it is there I might have to claim it while I'm there. Thanks Taz
