how do i get rid of it. normally in a freshwater tank all i did was put a bubbler in there. will a protine skimmer help the problem? any ideas? -
we arnt sure what type yet. i wanted to get it all set up first and then decide. and for the filter maybe ill do that. it sounds like a good idea. do you have the direct link for the 2 X 250 w for 300 bux. im having trouble findding it.

ya im going to do reef tank. corals and such. i have a bit more money then i thought to spend on all of this. im running a rena xp3 on the 100 gallon and i was told that would be fine for a salt tank. i have heard alot about the remora pro so i think ill pick that up possibly and as for lights i have enough room for 4 - t5's under my hood. i wouldnt mind metal halides but then i gotta cut my canopy to get them to fit im sure. how much do those 250w halides cost in the stores. i dont want to go crazy but i dont wana cheap out of the lights.

hey people im switchin my 100 gallon freshwater cichlid tank to saltwater. i have the live rock on order right now so thats not an issue. just wondering what i will need for a reef tank. i mean for lights, powerheads, protine skimmers. poop like that. i will have about 700 bux to spend on all of it. right now i have 2 40 watt lights and i know that wont be enough.

living in edmonton the selection of tanganyikan fish is pretty slim sometimes. Paracyprichromis nigripinnis Ophthalmotilapia ventralis any type neolamprologus buescheri - chituta, Zambia that is my list

i wish i didnt bring the kids to the auction. i would have sat down and actually participated instead of just picking up some fish fromp pop eye, dunl, and ellie. i have never been to the hall before but sands is usualy a good place to hold these things. the reptile show is also there about a month back or so. but next time i will deffinatly join in the auction. did all the fish at the auction sell?

the tank is actually on a stand. but the stand is like 2 - 3inches tall. i was worried about putting it right on the concrete but this will work perfectly and ya. thats my bar above it. that was an old picture. since then i had a bday and got more to add to the shelfs

so i bought my 180 gallon from jroc a while back. after setting it up once i had a great idea. put it in the wall behind there is my crawlspace. i have alot more room to work with under there then standing on a chair and reaching down. and its out of the way this is the new picture
