    210 AGA Reef Ready, stand, canopy & VHO lighting system $750 OBO - 18966

    I've moved to california and it just doesn't pay to ship it out here, and i don't have anywhere to put it. so i'm selling my tank, stand and lighting system. the tank has a small chip in the glass on the front right but it hasn't compromised the tank in any way and its barely noticeable. the 6...

    tying into basement questions

    thanks for the advice! i think i will drain the water and start fresh, i'm really not all that ready to start cycling anyway... i do have dursos in the overflows but they are still making a lot of noise. as for the filter socks the ones i have on there are garbage and it was a poor attempt to...

    tying into basement questions

    so my first stage of the john/phyl tying into the basement thing is complete. i filled up the tank a couple weeks ago thinking i would have the plumbing done sooner than later but it took longer than expected. the water has been sitting for a couple weeks now, with a nail rusting away in the...

    Powder Blue Tang

    when my 210 was set up i first added a hippo about 2-3" then a couple months later i added three yellow tangs, a powder blue tang, and a lipstick tang. they all lived peacefully. if you added all the tangs at once it might be a different story but now that they have been established in your tank...

    Setting my 210 up again... opinions wanted

    i think i'm going to go with the closed loop and instead of one 2" suction tube i'm going to use two 1.5" suction tubes with strainers. they're smaller and it will be more symetrical looking... now what do you think about the sand?

    Setting my 210 up again... opinions wanted

    my concern is that the drain won't be able to keep up with what i'm pumping into the tank. previously i had 4200 GPH in my tank and even if i use both holes in the overflows as drains i don't think i can achieve the same amount of flow with just the hammerhead. I'm definitely going to cycle the...

    Setting my 210 up again... opinions wanted

    Ok, I'm setting my 210 up again and I'll be plumbing into my basement similar to John and Phyl's setup. I've got a few things i've been debating on what to do and want to hear what everyone thinks. 1. Sand, i previously had bahama oolite sand which is 0.1mm - 1.0mm is size. While i liked the...

    A different approach to periodic waterchanges (very unique)

    adding fresh water to a salt water aquarium will in fact lower the salinity but evaporation causes the salinity to rise. so if you are topping off only what evaporates over time your salinity will stay close to what it needs to be. if you did water changes where you removed salt water then you...
