Hey I know the answer to this. I had an electrician over to wire my tank outlets. They have a tool that goes around the main line coming into the fuse box that will show what you house is drawing in at a particular time. Mine was very low it did spike once the AC kicked on but overall I am...

OK I gave you a big rundown on a few things in the other thread. Now I will save you some money. Next month we have a group buy at Premium Aquatics. You can buy salt(there is some on sale), skimmer maybe an Octopus hang on skimmer if you so desire. You save 15%, get to pick it up free of...

Hey Ryan don't get upset at folks. I warned you that there a lot of differences of opinions. Universally though RO/DI water is the way to go. Topiquarium will even sell you premixed salt water for $1.00 RO/DI water for $.50. For your tank you can use their premix saltwater. I have had very good...

Save your $24.99 and send me $10 bucks and I will let you curse at me. PIECE OF CRAP they shouldn't be allowed to sell them.

RO/DI water is water that has been specially filtered. You can get a unit from one of our venders, next month is a group buy, they generally cost between 100-150 that would give you a lot of water. I bought mine from Tropiquarium for the first year premade but as I gear up for my bigger tank I...

Forgot you will be doing water changes to export the nutrients added by your fish and to replenish nutrients used by your corals.

You need to use RO/DI water. For a 30 gallon tank you can get away with buying the water. Tap water has a lot of stuff you don't want some of the local fish stores (LFS) sell water you can buy 5 G at a time. Remember when you add rock you will displace water so you will not need a full 30 G...

Welcome aboard Ryan. First congratulations on asking questions the people here are a load of help. Let me say that there are a lot of different opinions and more then one can be right. My nano tank was doing very well without a skimmer until my fuge light died. With a 30 G tank some people set...

Very nice tank like sounds like you have done a great job. I like the second tank a lot. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Natural sea water can be found but it is like 2 dollars a gallon at some of the LFS. Tropiquarium makes their own salt water, they are in central NJ at 1 dollar a gallon. Then you can buy a RO/DI unit and make your own. Dr Fosters is the cheapest to get the salt shipped to you.

I had mine built by Orca Systems. It was great unfortunately DHL kicked the side in. http://www.acrylicarts.eversites.com/shopping.asp?id=446996&pg=1&merchantid=446996&catid=946&shopperid=24859&shop=itemlist.asp I didn't get the skimmer though he is going to show me some custom ones. You can...

Hey Steve. I think your three fish will be alright in a 10G for a while but I would wait till the house goes under contract. Let me tell you that could take a while the market is terrible at the momment. The realtor is blowing smoke up your parents you know what. I am not saying it isn't a great...

Peanut butter with piece of chocolate tied down on the end. Takes the option of them licking the peanut butter off the end away.

My gosh that is scary you are right...oh wait we are supposed to be supportive right? It looks great you will have a lot to put into your new tank though and your tang should be super happy. ;D

At least you two have your tanks ::). Can you post some pre move pics of you current tank? Thanks.

Re: Here's my 120 I really love your tank it looks better all the time.

Yes, they are supposed to be a great little fish. It is certainly one on my list.

They built mine specifically ... but he is going to show me custom skimmer too, not 100% sure but if the price is right I am going to let him build it for me also. I think it is better quality at a great price.

Here is a link for a great place to buy a your sump. I had mine made there and they are really very reasonable. Plus I go back to my made in USA thing. http://www.protein-skimmer.com/shopping.asp?id=446996&pg=1&merchantid=446996&catid=946&shopperid=98535&shop=itemlist.asp

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Hmmmm I thought maybe that might be the case. The sea swirl looks interesting but because it is on my internal overflow it won't work so well. I have one pump but two return lines so the squid thing would be perfect if I didn't loose a ton of flow.
