im assuming you ordered from niel..... its worth the wait, he builds them good

get a walk out basement

convert all tanks to saltwater and then go to canreef.com

aquarium central. bigger than big als and a lot cheaper

oh yeah unless you're looking for something special like starfire,overflows, eurobrace etc.

glass is cheap

So have you seen any of the big stores offer $1/gallon sales? Just trying to get the rest of the tanks for my Shrimp rack so nothing special is needed.

well yeah, on boxing day big als has some pretty cheap tanks.

few weeks ago a store was closing here in town and they were selling 20 gallon tanks for 10 bucks and 70 gallon tanks for 50 bucks

oh yeah unless you're looking for something special like starfire,overflows, eurobrace etc.

glass is cheap

its already available for dl

not showing on animal planet canada.

This will have to be a downloaded show then :P

I watched the previews for it, and im dissapointed all the "corals" are casted. At least they come up with amazing tanks though.

thats true..... im pretty sure if they did real corals it would be next to impossible to maintain

i have a 120 gallon reef read tank with sump if you're interested

no such thing as one that doesnt waste water..... i think the most efficient is 3:1 ratio

he builds for most of the stores in edmonton, but you can contact him directly and he'll give you a good deal.

when you dechlorinate tap water it removes the chorine from the chloramine which leaves you with ammonia

Your fish look so happy!!! Do you ahve a link to your setup (what you are running filtration, skimmer etc.)

thanks.... i shot it with a 5d mark ii with a 70-200 f2.8 is

it works great but i would never recommend a DSLR as a video camera for home videos and stuff like that. there is no auto focus, when shooting something you constantly have to manually adjust the focus on the lens

and keeping it stable is almost impossible

here it is at about 3 months old

180 gallon

few years

Very nice, especially considering that's with crappy equipment.

photography is never about equipment.

good cameras dont take good pictures.

good photographers utilize the equipment(regardless of how good or bad) to create good pictures

try not using the flash on the camera. if you need extra light, use an external off-camera flash or even a flashlight or something

Where would a guy find cheap base rock without shipping it?

red coral has nice rock i think its like 3.50 a pound

dont bother with 300 pounds of liverock...... buy maybe 100 pounds of LR and then do the rest with base rock...... it'll all be the same after a couple months

biggest piece of advice i've seen when people ask about going salt is 'invest in a good hydrometer!'.

if you do cross over to the dark side, that will be one sweet tank!

thats an oxymoron, good hydrometers dont exist.

for a reef you need a refractometer

not at all.

i thought it would be hard so i started with a 55 gallon saltwater...... after a month i realized how easy it is, i went to a 180 gallon and its been going good so far.

its just more expensive than freshwater

lol im pretty sure its ok. its not like you're gonna be taking truck fulls of rock.
