pH good, nitrate looks more manageable. If you used RO water and not tap your AM and NI levels could have raised overnight and this is what you were...
How's it looking today?
just saw this thread but here is where I got mine. Good guy to deal with, he sells to glasscages.com and some others. follow the link and shoot them...
it's your preference but I have always done it myself. before I had my RO unit, I was buying from the LFS and it was cheaper to get the water and mix...
Like MoJoe said, good you got your own tests. I only used the LFS once to make sure I was testing correctly with my own. You are kind of in an...
You really want your ammonia and nitrites to be 0. Nitrates as close to zero as you can get them. How long have you had the livestock in? Do you have...
I work with a guy that does glass/acrylic work on the side and thats what they do after forming. You just have to make sure that you are using a...
+1 to benbabcock. ATI's are what most will recommend. That combination will give you a bluer look that should make your colors pop.
When a tank manufacturer thermoforms a tank, they have to sand and polish them afterwards. I would look into that.
I've got the Coralife running as an HOB right now. It's only been running about a week, but so far so good. It didn't take long to break in. Alot of...
+1 to the 2 t5's. You could play with the bulb type more. Just not many choices in the way of CF's. I just started my 30g and was considering...

For the RODI, Spectrapure has a 90gpd 4stg system for $120 right now. They say they are refurbs, but I've done some checking and several people have...
Cycle Winding down, we have life! So got back from my trip this morning to find my first livestock in my tank. Was checking params when I got back,...
I don't have a fuge, but I have seen where some people create an in DT "nest" for pods with some chaeto in a container or a pile of LR rubble.
The cycle appears to be coming close to being over. The past couple of days the ammonia has fallen and today was the first day to read 0. Nitrites...
That is a pretty cool looking wrasse, I will definitely have to check into one of those. Thanks for the suggestion, that little guy is now moved to...
I thought about a wrasse but I'm worried about the tank being big enough for it.
It looks like Im over the ammonia spike in my cycle and I am starting to think of stocking now. A CuC is first on the list, but I am trying to look...
Depending on your location, and how soon you want to get something going, you may keep an eye out at petco. Every so often, they run a $1/gallon sale...
