Don't get discouraged. Just go slow and steady. If in doubt, get an answer you feel comfortable with, and then proceed with a healthy bit of caution. :lol:

LOL All I have in my tank right now is an Aptasia? Want a picture of it? :D

I have one of the coral life RO/DI and it can be hooked up to a standard facet or an outside hose facet. In the long run the RO/DI unit is the most cost saving and it does have to break in, but I didn't see a HUGE jump in my water bill (actually no jump at all, but my city does this funny thing...

Indeed I do miss the beach. Thank you for sharing those shots.

Nice shots. :shock:

I have an odd question. Can't an Ebay purchase be shipped to you? I'm sorry for the ignorant question, but for something like chemi pure and other lighter items the shipping couldn't be THAT high....could they?

I don't know about the chemistry involved but I've always heard that RO/DI is the best water to use, then RO because the water is not soft nor hard just dead in the middle. I like the dead clam! I personally just got a refractometer from ebay and it literally takes 2 seconds to test the water...

I don't own a chiller but just what I know about how the technology works, it would make sense that either could be a in or an out. If there is no internal pump then I would safely assume that either hook up could be used for an input. It is after all just a heat exchanger.

Well I do agree about the lighting not being needed. But I am putting my lights on the schedule in the beginning only because I want to be absolutely sure that my temperatures are rock solid before I add any critters to the tank. I will have more algae but I can live with that. I also...

Thanks for the tip. Found a needlewheel pretty cheap. It's a coral life but it was a good price. I should have the 10 gallon sump all together and everything finally assembled next weekend. I know that this is just prolonging the cycle process but I am not in any rush. I did reassemble the...

I like the rock. Very nice.

Well I finally started the 55 gallon. I got the tank and stand in a trade and they were both that fake ugly oak trim so I painted it black :) Painted the back dark blue and put in some pink fiji sand along with about 60 pounds of live rock. I know I haven't topped it off yet, but I am...

I have PADI and it was quick and easy, but I learned all I needed to. But then again I had a discounted rate due to military base and what not. I have the open water certification, I can dive so long as when I look up the sky is there so no wrecks or cave for me...yet.

Well I've been gone for quite some time but here is a recent photo of me and my son Aiden.

Anemones are mobile and very sensitive. If you do get one be very diligent on the water parameters. I wouldn't recommend one but it is your tank and money.

I third it... :-)

Happy late bday!

Happy bday!

Seems that Marc has moved Casper (the seahorse) to a barebottom tank... Do a google search for "melev's reef" and you will find his site.

Make it before hand in a 5 gallon bucket and put a lid on it. Just make sure to get it at the temp of the tank and mix the water a bit with a PH before using it.
