Welcome to RF!!! :D Barr Aquatic Systems has some excellent products. I would recommend the SK1000 skimmer. Here's the link: http://www.barraquatic.com/standard_skimmers.php Filtration depends on what your keeping in the tank. Is it an all fish tank or do you have corals or are planning to...

Wow it's a dead heat so far! Hmmmm. I actually thought acrylic would be out front. I guess considering a majority of tanks available at large pet stores are glass I should have known. I have compiled a list of pros and cons for both and acrylic wins out. I will post it later. Maybe you guys can...

What effect will removing the sand bed have on the ecosystem? Especially all in one shot. Are you expecting a rise in Nitrates/Nitrites/Ammonia? Also what is the reason for doing so? It seems to be trend lately.....

Great advice everyone! I thought the same way at first. I bought a Coralife PC fixture for my tank thinking that low light corals would be satisfying. It was not long after that I was standing in Kevin's shop wishing the lighting in my tank would be enough for the pretty SPS corals... Luckly...

Welcome to RF!!! Well first thing is the watts, 500 watts of PC or VHO is not the same as 500 watts MH. MH is a pin point type of lighting and will penetrate the water much deeper. I believe the 150's won't be enough. Depending on the depth of your tank I would say use the 250's. I have a 250W...

I haven't used any yet, but tomorrow is grocery shopping day. I'll have to pick up a clove and give it a try...... :D

I'll start.... :D I currently have a glass tank and sump. Personally I regret the decision. I have had to replace the main tank once due to the side panel shifting from the pressure which caused the top support to crack. The sump had a leak on the bottom back seal. I had to move the inhabitants...

Hi Everyone! Ok I was curious to find out who has glass and who has acrylic tanks. Please give your reason for choosing what you did and if you regret your decision or not..... Thanks!

Anyone else? What are the benefits of feeding garlic?

Just wondering how many people use garlic in there food mixes and why. Also what else are you putting in the mix? :D

Good call.... Maybe I will go to Kevin's shop tomorrow and BS with him for a bit.... Thanks!

Hey Don! Well the tap water here has quite a bit of junk in it. I just want to ensure a longer life on the membrane and I thought by adding an extra $5 filter it might help a bit..... What do you think?

Hey Everyone! I have an Oceanus 4 Stage RO/DI system and want to upgrade it to a 5 Stage. Which filter should I add? I was thinking a second sediment cartridge with smaller pores such as a 5 or 1 micron type. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Yeah I am going to get the card. I thought since I used my Debit card to sign up with that the money would go back and forth. I didn't realize there was an additional step invovled.... That's what I get for ASSuME ing ...... LOL

Thanks! I have only used it a couple time before to purchase stuff. But I am going to "enhance" the account for sure. :rolleyes:

No problem Matt.... Ok maybe a little... :D :D Hey everyone! Well most people have sent a payment. THANKS! There are still 5 people outstanding. I would like to place the order by noon tomorrow if possible. Please don't forget to make your payment...... Thanks!

What bothers me the most is the itching........... Oh, Ummmmmmm, Never mind! :D Just kidding....... My emerald crab does a pretty good job a munching on the algae in the tank. He does tend to get a hold of my fire fish's fin every once and a while though. For the most part he is good. I enjoy...

Good morning everyone! The request for funds just went out via PayPal a little while ago... :D As soon as they are all returned paid, the order will be placed... Thanks!
