Int in the evergrow led. Willing to ship if I pay shipping?

In the long run running your own rodi system gives you way more bang for your buck in terms of buying water from lfs. The initial cost is a little high but the quality is way better. Mixing the salt with your own water give you better control of what in your water and give you a healthy supply...

Honest mistake, met this guy the other day. Really nice and his Nems are sexy! Bump for a good guy.

sounds like friday night to me.

Can keep my $3,40. I'm sure others will say keep it. Use it for the site somehow, like maybe update the front page or something

i used e-marco for my rocks, the middle piece has like 12 individual rocks to it, hold really well. my only advice, albit a bit late now is to have it more wet then dry, you have less control but you get a better hold on the rocks and are less likely to break off. this is something i would use...

I got mine today, I'm gonna wear mine to sleep.....

from my understanding, 4' and under doesnt require a centre brace. the tank isnt long enough to "dip" in the middle. providing you have you stand and floor in which it sits, level. i used 0.5" plywood for the top and bottom too so i personally think thats fine. i would however use 0.75" plywood...

its not an exact science, sometimes it takes a bit longer. you can read ammonia then you will eventually read nitrites. worse thing you can do now is rush this. this is the foundation of your tank. let it mature on its on speed. you'll be thankful later. what is the temp of the tank? and do you...

algae needs three things to survive, light, phosphate and nitrates. nitrates are directly tied to what's in your tank, fish poop and overfeeding are generally the main culprits for this, reduce feeding will help as will a skimmer as mentioned above. running a refugium is another way to absorb...

You don't have to use Dr Tim's, pretty CVS or wall greens sells pure ammonia. Just need to make sure it's pure ammonia, no perfume or anything. I just said Dr Tim's cus that's what I used.

If you are concerned about the bio load, you can phantom feed the tank. Meaning add some a very small amount of fish food to the tank and let it break down. The bacteria will catch up then add more food. The bacteria will increase to handle the increased bio load. As mentioned above. The...

If you can see if your lfs has any Dr Tim's ammonia, only cost a few dollars. Reason being, if. You can add the required amount of ammonia for your tank today and it still reads zero ammonia and nitrite tomorrow then you know your tank is cycled. Using a pure source of ammonia also means you...

This looks funny, no way should the nitrate be this high without first having an ammonia and nitrite spike. There shouldn't be any aerobic bacteria to convert to nitrates. What test kits are you using? Maybe do a 100% water change and add a form of ammonia to see what happens. Honestly tho, I...

I would add the inverts and snails first, maybe a eager shrimp and a few hermit crabs. Start the clean up crew first then move on to fishes. And good with it!

Oh, the only thing that's not on it is the ato controller, I forgot to attach it, at which point I was too lazy to thread it through again. Next clean up I'll put it back in the book case.

It's an external ghost overflow. So there's like 6" of space from the back of the stand to the wall. I kinda have them running across the floor, as first I had them attached to the stand the realized it would be a ***** to take off when cleaning. The small 20g on the left is an ato and backup...

or could try kalkwasser, raises PH too

first of all you need to know what condition your rock is currently in. you say live rock, was it shipped to you or did you buy from lfs or another reefer. it matters cus im not totally sure how long life will sustain on the rock being out of water. if it has been dried for a while then chances...
