welcome to the forum buddy! Hope we can all help you answer all your questions, i'm still a complete new guy and don't even have my tank set-up haha! Where ya from buddy?
let's skipp the soft cycle =D
I'm going to be using straight faucet tap water.. I have a fridge but it gives off really cold water and it would take like 2 hours to fill up
30gallons.. Litteraly lol
so I shouldn't be worried about much right? I know diatom blooms are naturall
Well I highly doubt I'll be around this weekend, most likely next because it's on my planner (haha!), I've been dieing to come see your tank and learn a lot from ya.. My tank still has the freshwater fish, so yeah definitely in a month or so whenever I'm actually set-up then we can definitely...
Well now that I just noticed how close you are (barely 20mins with route 3 and westside ave) maybe you can come and help me through this whole process when I get going =DD
Just bought my 175watt 20,000k metal halide from mstrpln03 and it was a amazing purchase, the light runs like a charm..

He looks exactly like that and is tiny, about 1/2-3/4's of an inch haha!
Well mixing the water in the tank would be kind of bad wouldn't it because I of the fact that you won't know how much space the rocks+sand will take up especially with your arm stuck in the water.. But then again I do like that idea alot haha...
As for skimming, what benefits will skimming give me?
Ohh so it's rock first? I figured it would be sand first so i can evenly place it? If i pour it over the rocks I don't think itll get into the middle bottom, and some might fall into the rock?
Any recommended books, with pictures ;D ;D
Re: 13 Fish for $30!
Well I wanted this to be to the NJRC members mainly because I know alot of people have already helped me out so I'm trying to help someone else out, all together those fish were probably like $60..70.. As a matter of fact I think I'm just gonna let them go for about any...

How do I start a saltwater tank?

I've got school till 3, then I think I'll be going to bergenfield to pick up a Metal Halide fixture to start my tank... The thing is I don't have a car from 3-6 and at 6ish it's my dad taking me to get the fixture... i'm thinking maybe we can go from 3-6 but that's only with a way to get there...
