I still have plenty of rock left over for another build. My daughter wants to set up a 10g for her bedroom. Not sure how easy it is to keep a smaller...
I decided to create a thread dedicated to my first saltwater build, where I am able to show the progress of it over time. I have posted and...
Appreciate the compliment. Just yesterday, for $50, I bought what was to be 60-80 lbs of formerly live Fiji rock. When I came home and weighed it,...
Used is much better as long as the equipment is in good working order. Why spend tons of money on new, and then decide saltwater is not for you. If...
Yea I figured that out after researching it a little. I bought a sheet from Lowes today for $11. I may place PVC pipe under that as well but not sure...
I bought the formerly live rock today and also got a piece if egg crate from Lowes. I'm guessing there is at least 80 lbs. of rock. I'm going to take...
Thanks for the great advice. Unfortunately I will have to add the rock directly to my tank instead of curing in another location. I will definitely...
Does anyone have pictures of how these are used? It would help me to set mine up tomorrow if I could see one.
If I already have sand in my tank, do I just place the eggcrate on top of the sand, or should I move the sand out of the way, place the eggcrate...
So the eggcrate is placed in the substrate, the rock placed on top. Wouldn't detritus still get under the rocks, but just collect in the "holes" of...
I actually thought of setting it up on my porch first to figure out how I want it designed, then take a picture for reference. I've never set up a sw...
Sorry for the vague posting. This is rock that was formerly live, as the person I'm buying it from does not have their tank setup anymore. It is...
I have a 55g tank that is approximately 3 weeks into it's cycle. Details are in my signature. I am purchasing 60-80 lbs. of formerly live rock...
My tank is new and I'm getting the same thing. Looks horrible but I'm told it will pass.
Welcome. Rocks look very cool. I'm getting 60-80# this week from someone and can't wait to set it up. How deep is your sand bed, and what type us...
Just curious about water for tanks. If a RO/DI system is not possible immediately, what is the best course of action? Is distilled or other "jug"...
For the record, this refers to a Marineland Magnum 350 canister filter. Here's a picture of the "poly filter" pad that I had in my filter. I had...
The package calls the "media bag" type thing Poly Filter. I'll take a photo tonight after I clean the canister. I'm going to add carbon this time...
Is there something you could do to reduce the flow at night? This would keep everything operating, and may reduce the noise. Perhaps you would need...
Exactly how often should I clean the canister filter? The gentleman I bought the tank and equipment from told me instead of using the carbon (which...
