Yeah, I am a efficient builder.. I leave the anxiety & paranoia to other things. My family comes from a long line of builders / construction. It's what I do for a living. Also many LFS use just 1 2x4 base to support like 3 300 gallon tanks above each other... Salt water will not damage the...

There are additional cross bracing screws so that 2x4 is secured on all sides. I am not worried! This is sturdier than my brothers prebuilt 65 gallon stand. I see there is another smart one! Yeah if I need to access anything under there or eventually install a full sump I don't wanna be...

I don't have updated pictures right now but there is a total of 4 screws where the uprights meet the platforms. It's more than sufficient.

So it begins! I have to back date some pictures as I've had no time to post this! I pretty much decided I was joining the hobby in ~ 2 days. I began doing all the research day 1 and than day 2 eBay & Marine Depot held massive sales... which was obviously a sign right???... we say yes for...

I'm very patient ! As I said it will allow me to get paid a couple more times

I would add the entire 3.38 ounce bottle to my 30 gallon tank.. Are there any cons to using this?

Can someone link me to this "good bacteria" that I can add to speed it up?

I fear the shrimp getting stuck and broken into 1 thousand pieces. Leaving it in the filter sock is a good idea. Does this create a bad smell? When do you take it out than? 5 days? 1 week? So your test is if it doesn't handle the ammonia over a couple hours it still needs to cycle more? No...

You could dip the rock but than you deal with killing sponge and other beneficial stuff

This makes me nervous - I think I will go the natural route. Immediately after the nitrates & ammonia is at zero do I add snails & cleaners? Or do I wait? I'd imagine.... Step 9. Add a fish?

I heard there is a great place in bergen county ionic or something that has amazing live rock. That's where I plan to go. I don't want fine sand - I'd like a medium grain.

W At some point today I am starting a tank tale! My tank is days away from being birth with water.

Howdy again all, My brother cycled his 65 gallon tank ~6 years ago and I am not entirely sure I remember the full process. I will lay out my current thought / plan and if you can comment and advise I'd appreciate it. I am starting the innovative marine 30 gallon long... the physical tank is...

Ugh that's saddening ! Maybe I'll store some waste water for the flower beds. I mean for me I need 5 gallons a week give or take

Doesn't it come to be 1:1 with the second membrane?

That is what I'm saying get the pump and you're litty mgitty. But also holds true can't have too much psi. I wanna see what type of waste I produce before adding the second membrane and pump

So you get the additional pump and the memrbane for 70 bucks. You'll break even so quick

If you install a second RO membrane into the system it doubles the good water and reduces the waste water. Obviously more expensive though.

are you looking to sell it all at once? What filter equipment do you have? Power heads?

I picked up 2 A80's from someone on the site. I got the spectral controller so I'll have a good program! I am worried about the intensity but if it cycled with a program it should be okay. Will need to monitor it
