    Electrical outlet

    Depends on the complexity of the location of the outlet, how many you want done and the time it'll take to complete the job. Contact several licensed electricians in your area and ask for bids.

    whats going on?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this water is plain H20 then it won't 'taste better than Ozarka'. RO/DI water is a step down from this process the plant uses. You can't drink DI water, when it is de-ionized it is free from minerals. Thus the water has free space to bond to trace elements...

    whats going on?

    $5,000/gal?!?!? Why? Man, just use RO/DI water it's cheaper and whatever purification you're using really isn't necessary. I don't know what the problem is, you may want to post pics. Could be issues with either a disease/feeding or some other micro-mineral/nutrient deficiency.

    Coral Beauty

    This is the last fish I want to add to my 40gal. I want 3 fish and no more than 3 fish in there to keep the bioload low. Current occupants are yellow clown goby and a false perc. I came across a guy selling a 2" Beauty and I wanted to make sure it would not conflict with any of the other...

    Quick Need Advice!!!

    update Tom the Clownfish (my girl demanded that I named it so I chose something bland to satisfy her and she won't let it die. She asks how Tom is doing and it always takes me a second to realize what she's talking about) is still dumb as ever. He doesn't go near any corals, just swims...

    Gunk in Sandbed

    I could probably add a powerhead for water movement behind my rock wall, otherwise I can see all my corals all over the tank swaying in the current. The gunk is only in the sand bed, not on top. I don't think water movement is my biggest issue. I'm pumping more than 400gph in my 40gal tank.

    Gunk in Sandbed

    ok, then I won't worry about it again. My motto is "Go Slow" so I haven't done anything to the tank to treat it, I'll just let sleeping dogs lie.

    Gunk in Sandbed

    I don't know what this stuff is, it's not really attached to the acrylic and when you disturb the bed it prett much dissappears. It's just rather ugly and I don't know what it is.

    Gunk in Sandbed

    I've noticed that in my sand bed there seems to be an increasing amount of gunk. Where it is pressed against the glass I can see bright greens and reds. Is this cyano? I've got 3 nacarrious snails roaming about but haven't really seen them in awhile, hopefully they're still alive. I just...

    Need advice on my tank...

    So far I'm getting all of my corals through the local forum www.sdreefs.com but that's a stretch for you being up there. I picked up a candy cane that is doing well and dividing but the rest of my corals aren't. They're big fat and happy, but not reproducing!!! This weekend I"m going to...

    choices??

    Also take careful consideration of what you want to put into the tank and what it's light requirements are. Have what you want to stock your tank with dictate how much power you'll need. Then figure out what you can cram into your hood!

    Need advice on my tank...

    My name was brought up so I thought I'd chime in. My advice: go slowly. ha ha ha Man, there are some great LFS up in the greater LA area. Plus with LAX that's where most of the shipments come in for So Cal, you must have the best stores up there to choose from without paying more shipping...
