Go evening to all... I am in need of a lot of aragonite sand to help fill my new 150g setup. I am currently on business in SC but would like to know where I can get it in town (Jacksonville) before I get back home so that no time is wasted searching for it. Does anyone know where I might find...

My buddy Jake, Tattoo artist at mind altering hooked me up with his employers aquarium. I drove out to his bosses house this AM with Jake and picked it up. I got 150 gallon long aquarium and about 100 pounds of liverock, some nice big pieces. I also got a bunch of maxijets a canister filter...

Hello everyone! I've got a little problem here. I recently purchased a 10 gal tank in order to use as a mixing bin for water changes. Previously, I was using plastic water containers. I've learned that I should be waiting longer before I place the new water in the tank. Normally, I would just...

Hello all! We are moving in about one month and we will need to move our 45-gallon reef tank. The good news is, it's only a 15-minute drive away. I think I have a plan, but I was hoping that I could get some feedback to let me know if I am forgetting something or is there is a better way...

I am setting up a new tank to move my reef to and wanted colored sand and I saw some pink Crayola colored sand and wondered if I could use it in my reef tank? I did a little research and most people advise not to use it. My questions is why not? What would be harmful about it? Would it...

YES! I have official began my build. I am upgrading my 75 gallon. I will post some pics of the room that I am partitioning off and what the plan is. -I ordered the tank today. Will be here on Friday (I know, quick huh) -Will get a hundred pounds or so of live rock on Sat. -Bought an...

I am upgrading to a 75 gal. I want to put a sand base in the bottom of the tank. Any certain product I should use? Will sand from the beach work? Also trying to design my sump. I have a wet/dry sump that was on an old 120 gal and a 10 gal tank. I was thinking I could tie the two...

So...maybe I'm just being a nervous new mom, to a little yellow watchman goby, but I figured I might as well ask... I made the mistake of using about two handfuls or so of larger substrate from my LFS to start the live sand process a little while back. I added this to my sugar-sized dry...

I had about 4-5 inches of sand when I set up my tank, but now it is almost gone in places by the glass. I want to add more sand because my stilts holding the rock up are all showing. They used to barely show. I know I need to add it slowly little by little, but what else? I have also noticed...

Its been a while, but perhaps soon enough im updates to post> The person I know from the time I first started to go to fish world and had Jeff voet as my main supplier and tanks and equipment installer, etc. He knows I been paying and planning these tanks before he had left fish world and knows...

Here is my 125 FOWLR. I bought this tank in 2003 from AquaZoo. :rolleyes: We broke it down in 2005 when we moved to FB, and didn't get it back up until November 2007. Before I knew TRT or NFMAS existed, I set up the tank they way it was before, crushed coral substrate.. BAH. I changed it to...

My LFS has a biocube size 14 for $185. He has tahitian live rock for $5 a pound. He has livesand, $1 per pound. When you buy a tank he will supply you with the amount of water you need for your tank, for free. All of the above said, LS, LR, and LW, are all from his huge tank. BioCube x 1 $185...

Can I use some of the crayola colored sand in my tank? I'm just curious. It is so pretty, but it seems like the color would come off.

Long time lurker, first time poster here. I've had my tank running for about 6 months (converted to SW from FW after my 4 year old pumped a few squirts of hand soap into my tank :rolleyes:) and I've got some questions...but I guess I'll start with some basic info... 55 gallons ph 8.2 amonia...

Ok, I have the 90 gallon running with the 30 gallon sump. I added about 140 pounds of various white sands, but evidently made a big mistake. The sand was labeled as 'no-rinse', and in my excitement, I didn't. My water has been extremely cloudy. I got the skimmer going and added filter media with...

I have everything cleared out of my 75g tank but before I power it down and start to dismantle it, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in the substrate (mixture of crush coral and aragonite sand). Local pickup only and you must supply your own buckets/containers. Please PM me.

:help: about a tank that I haven't even bought yet :) Before I get out there and start shopping, I wanted to get some suggestions about equipment....specifically, I'd like to know: type/brand filter type/brand lights (how many's good?) skimmer (cpr bak pak a good one?) do i need a wavemaker...

Is live sand better or is crushed coral better for your fish?

Ok, well I need to get this stuff cleared out of here, so I thought I'd start with a list of miscellaneous items. 1/3hp AquaLogics Drop-in style Chiller (PENDING) 2 Lg. and 1 Sm. Container of Kalk (New) (Sold) 1 Lg Container of SuperBuffer (New) (Sold) Coralife 12" PC Light Fixture (SOLD) 3...

just asking about adding coral skelleton or dry rock to an established tank? I am in Forida right now and the beach im at has TONS of dead coral and rock all over. I was told that it could help maintain pH? if this is true i think ill grab as much as possible for my sump, lots of pieces 1"-5"...
