Having a boyfriend who commercially fishes for a living and catching a world record fluke will definitely have consequences/suspicion to go along with it. If she honestly caught it then good for her...but I find her b/f's job a little too convenient, I work at a taxidermy part time and we get...

I have a 29G tank that is hooked up to a sump and I think my total water volume is between 40-50 gallons but I do not know any more then that. Am I an nano keeper?

Okay, I was trying not to tell people this because it's so embarassing but if it's your problem also, you'd be lucky. I couldn't get my RODI+AWI booster over 20PSI for about 30 minutes. Turns out I didn't have the flaucet from the Cold water pipe open more then a fraction. So, check for that, or...

Ever since you posted these, I've started planning to buy from ultimate frags myself.... VERY nice pieces, I'm jealous.

It's a drive over 20 minutes for me and I would go back there even though I live right down the road from eagle reefs Inc because AO has a customer friendly atmosphere and resonable prices for a LFS. The store is kind of small, so with that the selection is not the greatest but I'd still have to...

yeah, I've been to the ocean gallery plenty of times. His fish are always healthy, but I wouldn't spend a lot on corals there. I was asking about garden oaks b/c they're not very know ledgable so sometimes their prices are much better than the rest of the market.

I know from the sticky link on the top of this page some prospective treatments, but I was thinking of pulling my whole tank - rock and all - out of the tank, and putting it in the iodine bath. Meanwhile preforming a 100% water change so while the tank is dry I can scrape out the rest of these...

If only our saltwater aquarium fish were that hardy :-\ ...it would make them much easier to keep --tom

A big seller on ebay is a company called aquasafe the whole 125GPD unit costs approx. $140 after shipping. This sounds great but it's a straight up case of 'you get what you pay for'. It purifies water just fine, but my product to waste ratio is 1:8 in the summer and even worse than that in the...

very true, as a college student still living under the parent's roof..if I had a 'great flood' it's safe to say my reefing career would be postponed for a long time. --tom

Hey all, Today I was installing my first auto top off system from autotopoff.com. It should've been a very easy, 2 minute installation, but as I was installing it I dropped a suction cup for my RODI tubing. Before I could even react my Mag5 sucked the suction cup right up and began making 'not...

Cool! For the chance to save more than $75 I'll give it a try. Thanks!

If I got the MUCH cheaper aqualifter pump, it's rated at 3GPH, but I'm wondering if this can be turned down to say somewhere between .125gph or .3gph without overheating the pump by making it push flow against resistance in the airline tubing.

**sorry for the type-o "be night over about 3 or 4 hours" should be "each night over 3 or 4 hours"

No, I have no automated controller yet, I was thinking of investing in a Aqua Medic SP 3000 Dosing Pump however it says it drips .8gallons an hour...That is WAY more then I need considering I dose currently a half gallon of kalk/water be night over about 3 or 4 hours. So basically I'm wondering...

Hey all, Right now I am dripping Kalk manually at night by creating a new syphon every night to drip my Kalk. However I am going away on vacation in August for 14 days and I want to make my tank as self-maintaining as possible before then. Are there any suggestions as to how to dose kalk nightly...

Yeah, that seems like on of the places around here where the customer will usually know much more than the employee. (Just like @ Petco) And with respect to live rock...Even if it's sold as cured I always cure it myself b/c you never can be too certain...

Great link! Thanks Alot!

Hey All, I'm going to build a top off system that is Gavity fed from a RODI H2O reservoir above the sump. I'm going to post details here as I progress but my first issue is a float valve. I'm in search of a float valve to shut off incoming water, however, I don't want one of those big and bulky...

hey all, I didn't see a thread on this store posted yet so I figured I'd start one. Garden Oaks is on rt22 and sell sheds and pond supplies as a primary form of business. In the back is a little building that sells fish. It had 3 tanks with corals and about 4 tanks with SW fish last time I was...
