I have a brand new, never used Visio 180 gallon glass aquarium with glass lids, solid pine canopy and solid pine stand. The setup has never seen water and I was going to use it for an African Cichlid setup, but I am in the Marine Corps and with my deployment tempo, I just dont have the time to...

I bought a 50 pound box of the Marco Rock Key Largo stuff about 6 months ago and used about 25 pounds on my new 60G setup, so I have 25 pounds (weighed on a scale) that I have no use for. $30 takes it all. I'm in Oceanside and would prefer to meet somewhere locally; they are just rocks, after all.

To make this a short question, I wont put in all the background information but does anyone either a) have a phosphate testing instrument, such as the Hanna Checker, who would be willing to test a few samples for me or b) know of anywhere that I can send a few samples to have them tested for...

About three weeks ago I upgraded my 28G tank to my new 60G tank. Along with the upgrade came the addition of a ~20G sump with a ~7G refugium section. I posted a previous topic about my chaeto beginning to turn transparent and I am still having issues with it dying off. Along with the cheato...

I just got my refugium on line, which is an in-sump refugium section of approximately 9 gallons. I have a 26W 6500k CFL bulb above it and just enough water flow to see the cheato moving, but not spinning around the refugium. I added the cheato on Thursday of last week and I noticed today that...

I am selling my JBJ NC28 Pro LED because I upgraded to my new 60G setup. I would like to keep it, but space and time prohibit me from having two reef tanks up at once (and the wife kinda made me put it up:eviltongue:). So, here it is. I bought it back in July and immediately started planning...

So my venture into reef keeping began early this summer when I returned from Afghanistan. I had kept African Cichlids, Discus, South American Cichlids and pretty much everything in between when I was younger, but once I got into the Marine Corps it obviously stopped. When I got back from...

I bought a 50 pound box of the Marco Rock Key Largo stuff about a week ago and used about 25 pounds on my new 60G setup, so I have 25 pounds (weighed on a scale) that I have no use for. The rock is mined, so there is no threat of any harmful hitch hikers, which is why I got it for the upgrade...

So I found this guy hanging out by my powerhead tonight, but I have never seen him before in the 5 months the tank has been running. I'm fairly certain he is a beneficial Stomatella snail, but I figured I would run it by everyone here just to be sure. It has a fingernail-type shell and it is...

I am selling my 180G setup that you can look at in my other FS thread, but here is the thread for just the wet/dry. I am looking to get $325 for it, it has obviously never been used and is made out of 3/8" acrylic. There are two holes on top of the drip tray for 1.5" Sch80 bulkheads and one...

I have a brand new, never used Visio 180 gallon glass aquarium with glass lids, solid pine canopy and solid pine stand. The setup has never seen water and I was going to use it for an African Cichlid setup, but I am in the Marine Corps and with my deployment tempo, I just dont have the time to...

I'm looking for some input here as to how long you think fish heads live aquacultered rock will be good for in a 30 gallon rubbermaid container with a 6500k CFL bulb and a MJ1200 pump for circulation. I need to buy the rock before I begin my tank upgrade, but it will be about a week in between...

So I am getting ready to move everything over from my nanocube to my 60G build, but I am starting to wonder what I should do as far as rock goes. I currently have about 35 pounds of great live rock in the nano cube, so I was leaning towards buying a bunch of dry porous base rock and using that...

I figured I would post this so everyone could red about my experience with John at Advance Acrylics. I was referred to him by a few people so I could have a sump built to my exact specifications. I read quite a few bad reviews about him over at RC, so I was pretty apprehensive about risking...

Does anyone know anywhere near the Carlsbad area that will drill a tank for me? I'm not interested in doing it myself, my 60G drilling didnt come out like I really wanted it to and I am too nervous to drill my 180 myself. I want clean, precise holes cut and I was hoping someone here had a...

I am setting up my new 60G and I have a Eheim 1260 for return from my sump that I will be plumbing with 3/4" PVC and flex PVC to a Y splitter for the two 3/4" return bulkheads I have drilled. The question is, should I run a single return nozzle off each bulkhead or split it with a loc-line 3/4"...

I am in the process of setting up my new 60G mixed reef and I was wondering if anyone on here could recommend a good sump to get for my tank. I would like to buy versus build because of my lack of understanding of exactly what the ins and outs of a good design are. I have a single 1.5" drain...

I am in the process of setting up my new 48" 60G reef setup right now and I am having a hard time choosing between two lighting ideas I am throwing around. The first is to go with a 36" ATI SunPower 6 bulb setup or go with a 36" 150W MH/T5 combo w/ 2 T5s. I want to go with a 36" fixture on the...
