    RO/DI parts question

    I"ve got a kent marine 3 stage filter and I was wondering where the best place to get the filters for them were. Can you just get them at home depot or lowes. I was also curious to know if I could add an extra canister or 2 for a bit more filtration. Thanks

    How do I reduce High phosphate and Nitrate levels

    I've got a fish only tank with both high phosphate and nitrate levels, which probably means that the ammonia levels are high. I don't have a tester for ammonia but will get one soon. I'm open to any recommendations to help reduce all three. Thanks

    "Lab" grade test kits.

    I'm kind of late to the thread, but better late then never. Where's a good place to get a master API test kit. I've heard good things about seachem test kits. Anybody have a take on those?

    Any recommendations on plumbing (pics)

    You can drill into acrylic tons and tons of time and it doesn't weaken it. Glass however is a different story. Also with how thick this acrylic is, it can withstand lots of holes without problems. I have a tank with (8) 1.5 in holes drilled within a 18"x18" square area in .25" thickness and...

    where do i get a leopard shark from???

    Where is vivid aquariums? The amount of gallons doesn't matter, its the area that the tank is taking up. Length and width is what you want to maximize, not height.

    where do i get a leopard shark from???

    I believe that part of the reason that we had to get rid of the two black tips is becuase they were also getting a little too aggressive with divers. I spoke with Joel, the biologist of the tropical marine section and thats what he told me. I would think that if they didn't have all those...

    where do i get a leopard shark from???

    According to the Scott Michael "sharks and rays" book they reach between 5-6 ft in the wild. Therefore I would assume that as a captive shark between 4-5 ft max length should sound right. It sure is a gorgeous shark though.

    Looking for recommendations on lighting

    A reef tank one day for sure, or maybe just a seperate one. I've gone back and forth on getting a reef tank for years now. I'm surprised that I haven't done it yet. So do these lights need ballasts, or are they like those helios that once the bulb burns out you just toss em?

    Looking for recommendations on lighting

    I've got a fish only tank and have had one for the last 6 years. During that time I've only had shop lights for my lighting. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what lighting may bring out a bit more color on my fish and add a little color to my live rock. Thanks
