Maybe we're talking about two different things but I just place my rock directly on the sandbed. Don't see any reason to do it any different.

Dollarz81- the prizm does not release bubbles into the tank. It gets a bad rap but I like it and its very affordable. I've made a few mods to it and I'm happy with it. wizord25- my rtba initally was on top of everything then moved in less than a day underneath my rock into a cave in the...

The petco by my house is pretty interesting. They just redid all their fish and tank stuff. Looks pretty good. They have a really cool looking live plant overflow thingy. You guys have one of those too? Some of the employees there are just kids that don't know any better. For the most...

HOLY CRAP! LOCK YOUR DOORS!!! Ahhhahahahaaaaa :twisted:

I've got an Olympus brio D-230 which is a total piece of crap although all the pics of my tanks were taken with it. Its 2.0 megapixel, has macro (which is decent) and even video. I'm on my 2 one now because I lost one on Bourbon St (imagine that) :shock: Anyways, both of these I bought...

Hey Dave, sounds like you got yourself a good wife there :D I used to have an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals test kit. The values were pretty decent I think but the Ph was too hard to judge with that little color chart. When things really get rolling and you need more precise testing, I would...

Wow Flame...I feel your pain :-s Purple Haze- that rock was purchased at Fish Ranch. I guess I forgot to mention where I got it. I usually don't get much stuff from there because they are very unhelpful and their dry goods are outrageously priced. Their corals are overpriced as well but...

I say bristleworm as well. I'd keep it.

I use this stuff called AquaMend which is an underwater repair epoxy putty. Its a 2 part mix that makes a nice firm hold on rock. I bought it at Home Depot I believe. I've had fair success with it but the thing to remember is that nothing works perfect. I've been resorting more and more to...

So who all here watched the last Friends episode? I admit, I've been addicted and I actually thought the ending was pretty good. All good things must come to an end I guess. :roll: Anyone catch the Leno interviews afterwords? It was good too....

Wow! You're right Flame. Great looking pics but I wonder if that is what you really get. Kinda scary I've never even heard of them...anyone?

I agree, the 24w is a little on the weak side. I'd go with the 32 if you can. So how is the cycle going? Any updates?

Hammer maybe? I love mine and I'm thinking about getting a goldstripe maroon clown pretty soon. Interesting to see if he'll host it. Got to find me a 6-line first.

Yeah, I noticed that too...weird there is no nitrite. Looks like its still cycling a little but yes, I would do a water change if you already haven't.

Thanks for the info wizord25 and welcome to Nanotank.com! Its great to see people actually keep track of their spendings. I've been doing it since day 1 and its pretty fun to look back and just see what you spent on things, etc. I keep a word file and just update it when I get back from my...

Two small fish in a 12 should be good IMO. Maybe 4 or 5 tangs would look good too....hehehe just kidding [-X

I get a bucket that makes 50 gallons for $15.99 here. Not bad IMO.

Hello mordigan- Great questions. I'd first like to say that I only have experience with PCs and that is all I run on my 3 tanks. Reason why...simply because they are generally 40-70% less expensive than Metal Halide. I'm not trying to talk you out of getting MH at all but that is my reason...

Hey Dave and welcome to Nanotank.com! Great to see another Houstonian up on the boards. You're doing everything exactly right :) . Turbo snails are good but you should also consider other 'clean up crew' options to help with your initial algae bloom. I would put in 4 or 5 hermits of...
