    Need Skimmer help 630 Gallon Tank

    Well, I will give you my opinion on Deltec vs. BubbleKing since that is what I have. Yes, I have both, but that is another story involving another tank... I run both on the 450 gallon main tank (700 gallons total system). I have a BK 250 Internal (3 years old) and a Deltec AP1003. The Deltec...

    where do i get a leopard shark from???

    Oh yea, just wanted to add that the only way you are going to find a Leopard shark egg is to catch a pregnant female and slice her open. They hatch their eggs inside their body and bear live young. Please do not pursue this any more as it is apparent that research is not your strongest...

    where do i get a leopard shark from???

    I hate to start this, but this is a hot button of mine. Sharks, especially Leopard Sharks, should be left in the ocean or in large public aquariums. 1000 gallons is not enough for a free-swimming species of Shark. The only sharks we should even think about keeping in a private aquarium are...

    anthias compatible?

    I keep 5 Lyretail, 2 Ignitis and a Pictilis in my 450. I am actually looking for a couple more Pictilis. I have no problems with agression at all. In fact the Ignitis and Pictilis tend to hang out together.

    Mixing Aragonite media with Magnesium media in Calcium reactors.

    I think 6.0 may get you some benefit, but not sure. You have the ratio about right, so you might want to try it, can't hurt....

    Mixing Aragonite media with Magnesium media in Calcium reactors.

    Ditto what Don said. I have used it for a while, but I still end up having to add Mg. I think the Ph needs to be really low in the reactor to have any effect on the Mg granules.

    Will dipping kill Flatworms

    Kevin, In my case, I am taking down my 37 gallon office tank and transfering the contents to my new 350 gallon corner pentagon at home. I just want to transfer the rock, corals and fish, not the flatworms.:)

    Will dipping kill Flatworms

    Thanks for the input. I like the series of dips technique modified as follows. First, I am going to treat the tank with a 3X dose to kill off as many as possible. It is a 37 gallon tank. I will take the two fish out before I do this. Second, I am going to fresh water dip. How long should I...

    Will dipping kill Flatworms

    I am thinking about moving some corals from my office tank to my home tank (taking down the office tank). The office tank has red flatworms (planaria) in it. It has been treated several times with Flatworm exit and they still come back a few weeks later. Will dipping the corals in Seachem...

    Old stand out...new stand in

    Don't put it on the dining room table. Set it on the floor on some pieces of wood (easier to get your hands under it to pick it back up).

    How clean is too clean..

    I think that tanks can be too "clean". I think this is whay many Zeovit users have problems sometimes. I believe that Zeovit causes a tank to be very "clean" and that the regulation of additives to keep that system going is a fine line. In such a system, changes become magnified in effect...

    What would you do ???

    OK, here will be the ultimate test for Chris. I have found a storage unit 15 miles away from where he lives in rural Oregon that is 10'x20' with access to power that knows what he will use it for and is OK with that. It should only take Chris another month, at most to finish the project. I...

    What would you do ???

    I did that over a month ago, offerred him twice what he thought to get it to me at a certain date. It's not a money issue, it's a space issue as he says he has no place local to work on it. If I ever get back in touch with him (been trying for three days), I am going to go through a bunch of...

    What would you do ???

    I posted a thread sometime ago about a new 350 gallon pentagon I am putting in. Well, it still hasn't been set up yet due to a lack of a stand/canopy. I have the tank sitting in the middle of my garage along with the custom sump, lighting, Bubble King skimmer, pump, plumbing parts, reef...

    Ozone and UV Qs

    I am interested in this as well since I will be setting up a 350 fish and softie tank whenever my stand and canopy are done. I have heard that one or the other is the choice, not both, but I don't know how true that is. My worry on a sterilizer is bulb life, cleaning and heat added to the...

    shark idea

    Find someone that will send you frozen silversides, it's really best. Otherwise, stay away from sharks and eels.
