Rudy, I can't wait to pick up some of that SW stuff from ya, and see those bad boys. I didn't think you'd be getting rays, but im sure you're happy you did. I'll cya probably friday if your around. Nice catch

That oring that they have on the lid, as to be perfectly clean. All sand, crap, anything, has to be whipped off. The place it goes in, on the bottom and the lid, would have to be completely cleaned aswell. Mine leaked from the cord, also, about 5 gallons of saltwater everywhere. Then I did that to the oring, and it was fixed and is still working great.

Get 10 camping water buckets (Blue with Pour spouts). Fill them up at a reefers in calgary here, and then drive them out and top them up. Or just buy those jugs they sell at safeway, and make many trips. Might get costly. Good thing about camping buckets... return them after you're done :P

Any new updates? Tanks atleast filled yet? or in? Thanks!

When I had my 150gallon, it was uneven when I moved it once, because of the boards supporting the foam under the carpet... Perhaps you have the same wood/foam under your carpet, causing it to be unlevel?

Rudy's light idea sounds better. A 20" strip would like strange over a nano tank. http://www.jbjnanocubes.com/ Sorta pricey yes, but they seem like they would look extremely clean and professional

riverfront is by the kilo, thats why its 17 :P

Golds... 7.99 Oceans... 7.99 aswell Any petcetera is also 7.99, but its by order, so you don't get to pick, therefore, not worth.

"Range: South America: Trinidad and Venezuela to the Amazon delta in Brazil" My family had a place down in Trinidad for 4 years, and I got to spend a lot of time on the beaches. These fish were all over the place, and they looked hiliarious when they rode the waves... They are amazing fish, I never knew you could actually keep them in an aquarium! Wow, I wish I could find one of em! If you ever want to get rid of it...

Crap!, I can't get Deb's phone number off my pm's!!! I was supposed to pick some stuff up tonite... Farg!!! Anyone have Deb's (EmilyB)'s phone number?? pleeaseee??

If ya have trouble finding someone to donate sand, feel free to stop by and grab some from me... Its best however to have the tank running with just LR for a couple weeks if its not cured, so the dead stuff falls onto a glass bottom making it easy to evacuate it out (Siphon does the trick)... You don't really wanna mix all that dead crap with your sand.. will make it look ugly IMO

Fellow Saltwater enthusiast in your town should be able to give you a bit of sand from an established aquarium (Say 2lbs), in exchange for 2 pounds of dry sand... (That way they don't lose any sand, and you can get live sand) Then mix it in with a bunch of pounds of dry sand, such as ones that you see on jl Aquatics and that (The fine sand made for saltwater tanks). I did that with a fellow reefer in Calgary, and now my tank is looking great. I've even gave a bit of it away when I had too much so that someone else could start up some live sand. Some people think that this method doesn't work... Im not one of em

How are convicts and Rams for personality? I want a fish thats a bit different than most. My cons that I had never had much personality, but yeah, they were in the bottom of my shelves and I didn't watch them much. Where should I go to get some nice rams? I've seen some here and there, but none lately. Plus, how much do they go for these days? $10?? And what size groups? I know cons pretty much go for 50cents each:P, and can go as many as you can ram into a tank, ehehe Thanks guys Ty

Alrighty... after giving up cichlids for the last 9 mths, I've decided to setup a 29 gallon, and put a small pair/trio/group in there... Albert showed me their Green terrors, and they looked great! Pretty much I want a type of cichlid that can breed easily (but not african... I've had toooo many) I want to buy them small, (2" range) and grow them to breeding size and then have them breed. Tank size is not a problem, as I can move them to a bigger tank eventually... I also want them to be nice looking... Im thinking green terrors, convicts, oscar (Not for breeding purpose)... but i can't decide... any suggestions? Also, if you have any for sale, lemme know...

Oweelllll, saves me setting up another tank. Lemme know if you ever wanna unload one, then I'll set up a tank. Made a couple hundred at Frank sissons today, hehe :thumbs:
