    IAP 180 pics and questions

    T, If I am not mistaken the IAP tanks are made from 1/2" from the factory correct????? If they are then I wont worry about it. The almost double the price for 3/4" is daunting. isaac

    IAP 180 pics and questions

    Anyone have a 180 IAP tank??? 72x24x24? This is one of the options that I am considering for the new tank but I am worried about bowing in the front pane of the tank. If anyone has experience and can help me with this I would really appreciate it.... Isaac

    Lighting in 8-footer?

    I know that we are talking about PAR and not wattage but its the overall look or brightness that I am striving for. I cant decide if I can live without the shimmer of the MH's Isaac

I have a big Annularis angel that is freaking out in the 4 foot tank (shocking) but I just had to have him.

    who is the best on-line for fish and coral

    one other thing I like about vivid aquariums is his 15day guarantee which I do not have at a LFS around here and the fact that he will hold fish for you to insure that they are healthy and eating readily before he ships them to you.... that is hard service to find, at least for me. Isaac

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    All I was trying to say was I, like Kevin, try and buy the best the first time around in order to avoid spending money three or four times to get the best product I need for my system. My issue with the price goes to comparing a 1800dollar Bubble King against a 400 dollar MRC or the like. If...

    Lighting Question

    I just need to figure out a way to wire up fans so that in the regular months out of the year I can have two sucking air into the hood and two blowing out and then in the summer months have all of them blowing air out in order to keep heat down. Thanks for your pics and help. Isaac

    Live Rock

    locally you arent going to find stuff for as cheap as online. I pay 10bux a pound for LR down here but with Eric the more you buy the more you save because he works with his customers. Glad you went out and checked out his place though, I think I am headed up there tomorrow to see what he has.

    Live Rock

    If you are in Gig Harbor I would say that you need to check out The Shark Reef in Silverdale.... Eric showed me some pics of the quality of rock that he gets in and it is amazing!!!!

    SW Bio-Spira...

    I started out with about 100lbs of Aragalive or was it Aragamax??? hmm, anyways, and about 20lbs of base rock and then 4 of the smaller baggies of Bio-Spira. I never lost a fish and I had them in there a week after setting the tank up. Had one hell of a diatom bloom but other than that it was...

    The one that I saw that worried me was a large Copperband that I wanted but I couldnt bring myself to buy him based on his appearance.

    Two Questions or maybe more

    First, how do I become a member of PSAS so that I may attend the meeting next weekend, two, can I enter the raffle for the tank without being a member? Lastly, I took my first trip up to Blue Sierra last night and I was very excited with the amount of livestock and drygoods they have. My one...
