    Good place to get fresh Reef Harvested Live-Rock? Like 24 hours from reef to door,...

    Title says it all. I am toying around with the idea of getting a 150g cube going. I will either start with a sterile dead tank and slowly add flora & fauna to round out the tank - or - I'd like to get fresh rock from the reef of my choosing. I'd like to find rock that is at my door within 24-36...

    Easiest way to sterilize and clean an RSM 130

    I need to clean a used RSM I received. Can I just fill it up with RO and a 1/2 cup of bleach and let the system run a day or two to kill off all biological matter. Then perhaps run a mixture of vinegar and RO to clean the system thoroughly, pumps included, prior to tearing it all down and giving...

    Just picked up as RSM-34. Any recommended mods or fixes?

    Just picked up as RSM-130. Any recommended mods or fixes? I helped a friend tear down her RSM-130. We transferred her setup into a new 60g Cube: Beautiful tank. She was nice enough to give me the RSM-130 and stand. I'm going to give the tank a good cleaning with vinegar tomorrow. This...

    Worried about rock breaking thru tank on BB

    I'm restarting with a sterile tank setup in the next month or so. This new setup with be an SPS tank with a bare bottom. My concerns at this time are that the weight of the rock pressing directly against the glass will cause it to fail. I've considered placing 1/8" plexi sheets at the...

    Restarting using an existing system.

    I've decided to use a mix of several old systems to build a 120g w/dual overflow. My thoughts at the moment dwell on whether I should be starting with a completely sterile environment; Cooked rock, new water, bagged biological starters. Or if the benefits of starting with uncured live rock; I've...

    Thinking about picking up something like this as a hold over till I have the larger system setup down the road. It's got 2 x 55w T5, gives 4w per gallon. There's a similar system made by Solana that has a 150w HQI setup giving the tank 4.4w per gallon; Just doesn't seem as quite the quality as...

    Mulling new project...

    I've had an idea bouncing around the ol brainpan for a bit now. Is it possible to have what I would call a 100% sterile environment? By this I mean everything in the tank was placed there by the tank owner. No pests, no hitchhikers, just what is placed within the tank. While I can see this being...

    Cold Water Project...

    I'm entertaining the switch from tropical to cold water. At this point I have the 34g Red Sea Pod in mind for this project. Hook up a solid chiller & drop the temp to whatever is needed. Is there going to be a precipitation problem on the outside of the tank? How Difficult is it to obtain...
