Don't add live rock or live sand to the QT. Add some pvc pipes or other things that are not going to be able to harbor ich and are easy to clean. For filtration you can use a simple HOB filter, will provide filtration and can house the bacteria.

So you went from thinking about a 30 cube, to a 40 breeder, to a 45 marineland, and now thinking up to a 65 g? I love this hobby.

looks like an abalone, harmless. We have had them in several of our tanks with no problems.

Took a bunch of pics the other day: The FTS:

A couple of our new corals we picked up:

Take a look at the Tesla roadster, only goes for about $100k, made in California. I don't understand why everybody doesn't have one. ::)

I think when people talk about good tank practices they are playing the averages. For example, 90 out of 100 people who use tap water will have issues in the tank. Now 10 people are going to be just fine and their tank will be perfect, but for a new person to the hobby people err on the side of...

Here is an interesting article basically saying that LED prices are not coming down because people are afraid to get sued by Orbitec. They were the company that put PFO out of business. http://reefbuilders.com/2010/01/30/stop-orbitec-continuing-overreaching-broad-patent/

I don't quarantine I don't check water parameters besides salinity

We have gotten rid of ich with just extra feeding dosed with garlic and selcon. I would not do the FW dip unless things really looked bad.

You just can't run away from the saltwater addiction. Notice down on the bottom of the forums it calls us "users"? Check out Reefernets thread for his 45g: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=21354.0 I would be careful with the 250w pendant. I am not a big...

Depending on what you plan on keeping in the tank the PRO can handle more. When the group buy goes up you can save on it so if you can wait, I would wait. Here is the link to the HOB fuge: http://www.marinedepot.com/CPR_AquaFuge_2_Hang_on_Refugium_Hang_On_Refugiums_Sumps-CPR-CR1721-FIRFEB-vi.html

We run a HOB skimmer and fuge on two tanks right now. They are smaller than yours (30g and 20g) but I think if you got the right size it would work. They have come out with a bunch of new HOB skimmers that are rated for bigger tanks (which of course means bigger price tags) that have been...

I though this would be the best place to put this, Trop is now having rotating sales on their fish. If you can get on their e-mail list, they are sending out their specials. I don't know how often the changes will occur, but the owner said this will continue without pause. Right now Pajama...

We have been having a tug of war with the jawfish for the past week with the coral pieces. We are especially fond of that sunset because it disappeared on us and then we were able to bring it back to health and it is spreading nicely. We finally dumped in a bunch of empty seashells and dead...

I was on the Parkway once and saw a plane that had landed on the road that they had moved off to the side. Was wondering how they were going to get it back to the airport.

What are the dimensions on the tank? If you can get a T5 fixture for it, that would be my recomendation for zoas.

Try Brightwell Alk 8.3, I dose it every other day and have been having good luck with it.
