    Tank was moved, so far so good!

    I'm not sure if Aquarium Specialty has a store front or if they are online only. Their address is: 535 Clemson Rd # D - Columbia, SC 29229 They are running low on Aquaroche right now and when they order from France, they order an entire cargo container of the rock from them. I should call...

    6 weeks is the Minimum to run the tank fallow and to keep fish in QT. Some people will go as long as 8 weeks.

    Tank was moved, so far so good!

    Glad the frags are happy. The rocks are by a company called Aquaroche, and if you check out the site there are some really nice tanks all done with this ceramic rock. Only problem with it is, there is only one distributor in the entire U.S. and they are located down in South Carolina.

    Tank was moved, so far so good!

    Last weekend, I moved the 65G from the office (second bedroom, soon to be baby room), out to the living room. Here is a quick recap. I started by hanging the light where the tank was going. I put my reef plates and fish in a 20L right next to the tank on the floor: My main rock structure and...

    Little help setting up my new tank

    You don't need an overflow box, but you want an overflow box. Overflows will give you 1000% better surface skimming than just a typical strainer stuck into a bulkhead. I'm guessing that LFS (as most LFS do) just have strainers on their tanks and I'm willing to bet they have a nice film on the...

    Little help setting up my new tank

    Paul, I think he would be better off with two G-H 700's. assuming the hole are the correct distance from the top of the tank.

    Little help setting up my new tank

    Overflows If you get a kit (or kits in your case) from glass-holes, the size of the bulkhead will determine what kit you need. The 300 GPH kits use 1" bulkheads and the 700 GPH kit uses a 1.5" bulkhead, and that is measured from the inside I.D. of the PVC tube that you connect to the bulkhead...

    Actinic Lighting Gurus???

    I know in the Nano world, they say they 454's will give the tank a purple color that will take some time for you to get use to. As Mike mentioned, not too many people are using PC's. Would a LED retro be a possibility to replace the PCs for blue supplementation?
