Advanced Aquatics near roselle. It's actually on roselle road, go south from schaumburg road on roselle and it's on the left by the taco bell. Pretty nice store. Then there is Beyond the Reef. It's up on Golf (58) and I think it's also on roselle. Hope that helps!

Menards has a set for very cheap too. Just make sure to have water flowing over whereyou are cutting and go slow, let the bit do the work.

The only down side to dark sand I hear is that it shows debris much more clearly. Melev's site has some pictures of his little seahorse tank if you want to see what one looks like. I'm guessing a power head near the sand can help keep detris in the water column and off the sand, but it's just...

If you dose it, I would test it.

Here is a way to see what is on one circuit. Turn off the circuit breaker to your living room and see which outlets don't work anymore. A good way to test this is to just put a lamp or other device you can quickly note as being on in each outlet in a room and then turn them all on, flip...

I've never used this store, I'm just using this link because it was the first one google came back with. http://www.aquariumguys.com/moonsand.html

Trogdor has it. It's not really how many things you have plugged in, but WHAT you have plugged in. If you use cheap powerstrips then they may melt and/or short circuit. Each device pulls amps, keep em low. If you want more juice drop the hundred or two it will cost to have a liscened...

Yes it is.

Looking very nice. What kind of wood is that?

Is there a way to cook the rocks (and what does this entail, I only have a rough idea) or something so they wouldn't feed an algae bloom? Hope this isn't seen as a highjack, thought it would be appropriate.

How often are you supplementing the clams?

3 Gallons seems fine, you could do 5 gallons at a time too. Home Depot has 5 gallon buckets cheap and it makes it really easy to premix the water and store the buckets for your next water change. Just make sure to mix the prepared water with a powerhead and match your tank temp before using it...

Nice to hear the T5s can support clams. I just might get me some of those lights. Where did you buy your fixture?

I would wait a couple of weeks for your first water change, also I'd not have any lights on.

I found this one that looks pretty nice. http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_wav ... sp?CartId= And then the cheap one I found. http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_wav ... sp?CartId= I've never used either of these maybe someone else on this board has had experience with them. I'd...

Don't know. I don't have one. When you find one you like let me know :D

Yep quality humor.

Or you could get a wave maker/timer setup and have all the pumps come on randomly so that only 2 or three are ever on at once... just an idea.

Well it really depends what the fresh water rock is. It may not be a problem but it could leak trace elements throwing things out of whack. PVC is a good filler as it is inert and will not throw any levels off. HTH.

Yes.
