    Cleaning continue's and I took the L.E.D plunge.

    Thanks for the like Herefishyfishy ! How often do we get to praise any store anymore? And when we do its usually a rant or an all out bash.

    Cleaning continue's and I took the L.E.D plunge.

    I do remember, It was Rebecca. She was really great with my transaction. After I get my lights, I'm wanting to get some reactors for the tank and I was looking around and just based on there customer service I will seriously look at their product.

    Cleaning continue's and I took the L.E.D plunge.

    They are doing everything!!! When the unit gets to me all I have to do is plug it in. I purchased everything from them. Yes its for my 90. I was assured that these units were more than enough for it. I going to hang them the same way my T5 unit hung, I will just have to add two more eye hooks...

    Cleaning continue's and I took the L.E.D plunge.

    Today I removed half of my rock with all the glass anemone's on them and I'm going to soak them in R.O water for a couple days give them a good brushing then a rinse in clean R.O, Hopefully that will kill them as there are to many to kill by hand. I also added more sand for a deeper bed. And...

    Glass anemone question.

    Morning all, Today is the day the cleaning process starts to get my tank back in shape and the first task I have is to get rid of those anemone's. I have to remove a few of the rocks anyway to remove clean and add more sand and was wondering if I soak these rock in fresh water for a few hours...

    Been away for awhile.

    Thanks Guys, I have two more months before I really start in on the tank but it really has suffered a bit. There are three fish in there that never went hungry but,I probably should have shut the tank down. It wasn't only the tank purchases that accumulated it was life,somehow got depended on...

    Been away for awhile.

    Hey everyone! Ive been away for a while, 4 years since anything new has been bought for my tank since the 90 gal upgrade. Got myself into the credit card trap and paid dearly. Now four years later, I have 2 payments left until I'm debt free and then I can start buying with cash this time round...

    skimmer air filters. do you use one?

    I don't use a filter but, I did drill a hole in the side of my house and ran a hose to the outside to bring in fresh air. I read somewhere it helps.

    My old tank and new

    Wow Im flabbergasted !!!! I lost more than 3/4 of my soft corals during this move and one hard coral. I have managed to save my six year old yellow fiji leather and my 5 year old clam and all the fish but to my dismay the corals are gone. Im wondering if it was a combination of old tank water...

    How much weight can a 2x4 hold

    Almost exact, except mine is all 2x4 were his looks like 2x4 and 2x6.

    How much weight can a 2x4 hold

    First time I ever heard that analogy...hehehe, The stand is sitting atop 6 inches of concrete so no worries there. I was just worried the 4 foot by 2 foot frame was going to hold that much weight.

    How much weight can a 2x4 hold

    Nice... I went ahead with everything and my move is complete 75 to a 90 gallon. Sorry forgot to post pic as I got busy with the move. but so far its holding the weight.

    How much weight can a 2x4 hold

    Im starting to doubt that my stand I built for the new 90 gal is strong enough to hold the weight. The frame is 4' x 2' single 2x4s with three 2x4s sandwiched for each leg and sheeted top only with 1/2'ply.I'll post a pic in a minute or three.
