    new to the game

    Welcome to RF and also to the saltwater/reef addiction. I think you'll find that a lot of people here have a great outlook and awesome advice. I'm relatively new to the hobby as well (about 7 months). I picked up a few sun corals recently and so far mysis shrimp every other day has been doing...

    Aquarium Tunze Ozmolator Laser Auto Water Leveler saw this and thought of your post about looking for a "laser auto top off".

    stupid ex- girlfriend blahhhh

    Hahaha..well..not ALL "crazy chicks" are a bad thing...everyone needs a little "crazy" in their life....but ones that become homicidal and kill one man's passion and hard work, is a whole nother type of coocoo. lol Annnnd...thanks for the "applause", I was actually watching Dr. Phil this...

    stupid ex- girlfriend blahhhh

    That totally sucks, and I'm so sorry to hear it. I'm fairly new to the hobby and just the thought of everything, what little I do have, being massacred really does boil my blood, so I can't really imagine how you feel about it. I say you should definitely file a police report at the very least...

    Diy reactor....really???

    lol..so Skimmy, in your opinion this would be a good "reactor" to use...safe....and good to "hold me over" til my actual reactor arrives? Honestly I have all the materials needed to make one left over from plumbing parts of my tank/sump, minus the Gatorade bottle, in which I'm actually taking...

    Fish Store Location

    Here's a thought, if you so happen to open one in the southend (tacoma, puyallup, olympia area) I promise I will shop there!!! :dance: Just an idea. lol

    Fish Store Location

    I vote Tacoma or Puyallup!! There isn't much choice of LFS in this area, other then the over priced PETCO, for the most part.

    Diy reactor....really???

    Thanks Jr, yeah those were most of my concerns too. I did order a phosban reactor, I just have about a week or so until it arrives and was getting a little impatient. lol. But I'd rather be safe then sorry and totally screw stuff up because I couldn't wait a few more days. =)

    Diy reactor....really???

    I have a 46 bowfront with a 20 gal sump. I was thinking of using it with GFO in it, but wasn't quite sure if it will work, or have the same effect. Trying to lower phosphates in my tank and was trying to do it sooner then later.

    Diy reactor....really???

    So I ordered a reactor, but has yet to get here (ETA 2 weeks), and I'm a little impatient so I started looking up DIY reactors...to "hold me over". Came across this one, seems almost too easy to be true, but looks like the same general concept. Thoughts anyone? Downsides to this design?? Or is...

    Light

    Looks cool! But um, I don't know if you will have any issues or anything, but I had a 250 watt hallide that I layed on a glass shelf like that over my fish tank...and sure enough, the heat from the hallide snapped the glass right in half....but luckily I have very mediocre building skills and...

    Tossing around a refugium/sump

    I say go for whatever fits under your tank, you'd be happier. I have a 46g with a 20g sump/refugium. Fits my skimmer, heaters, filter sock and its like having a nice mini aquarium under your show tank that you can banish bad little fish, or anenomes too. I've heard that the bigger the refugium...

    Vodka dosing to reduce nitrates..yay..or nay?

    Thanks everyone for the advice, it is much appreciatated. I think I will just stick to water changes until everything levels out, I tend to like the "better safe then sorry" way of doing things.:) I am pretty new to this hobby, so I will stick to what I know. Thanks again!! Will

    Vodka dosing to reduce nitrates..yay..or nay?

    When I switched tanks I used new all new sand. I also used as much of the same water from the 29gal as possible. I've had the 46gal set up for about 3 weeks now, but just recently had the massive algae bloom. I did just test nitrates and they're pretty high, right around 40. I'm pretty...

    Vodka dosing to reduce nitrates..yay..or nay?

    Yeah thats kind of what it seems like at the moment, which is why I haven't done anything but water changes to try and keep it at a minimal. Clean up crew is: 2x peppermint shrimp 4x bumble bee snails 8x astraea snails 5x nassarius snails 2x zebra turbo snails 6x blue legged hermits 1x cleaner...

    Vodka dosing to reduce nitrates..yay..or nay?

    I recently set up a 46 gal bowfront tank (upgraded from 29gal) and finally have everything setup how I wanted, flow going pretty well, and sump and refugium seem to be working great! Other then the fact that I have had a huge outbreak of brown algae. I've done a couple 10% water changes in the...

    Need to kill off aiptasia

    I heard copperband butterfly fish eat aiptasia too, but I also heard they can have a hayday with other types of corals that you don't necessarily want them nipping at. I have a couple of peppermint shrimp that I've actually witnessed them going at the aiptasia, so I'm giving them a chance to...
