You would want to make a plan to phase out the CFL lights with something better LEDs are the way to go now days but you have to be careful to get some for an affordable price. Lot of companies mark up prices when targeting reefers.. Also if your CFL bulbs are old they will produce bad light...

Beautiful! What coral is that?

Look into shitboxes heres my link to em on fb.. -> https://www.facebook.com/groups/603511806434292/ (One; would grow corals over half your tank & prolly some low light corals on other.) Personally, I'm looking into DIY my own LED's... could always look into that! Otherwise, I think shitboxes...

Wow man tank looks great!!! Is that last post the upgrade? :D ...:thumbsup:

If your ever woried about using something for saltwater for the first time... You can always clean it out with Vinegar & Water. Make sure you rinse well. Only effect vinegar has in the aquariumis lowering the pH.

Yup, usually the ONLY restriction you have for going bigger is Space & Cost >_<

lol, pop can got left in the freezer too long and needed to cool down my tank on a sunny day >_< Make a cool pic tho

This is my 75g that I just tore down(& Sold off) because of move cross country. Before/After:

If you plan on having an aquarium long term mine as well do it right with SALIFERT test kits. Especially for your coral tests. (Alk, Cal, Mg)

Hard to believe that is true with the rocks, but with the sand, yes. Some of the best aquariums I have seen do not use sand at all.

I save up and go to frag swaps! SOOO MUCH better bang for your buck!

that is cool!

if anything gsp are a good way of letting you know if your tank is healthy yet or not... and if they don't make it, well they are like grass to most ppl lol. Just don't let those bristle worms get too big lol. the little ones are good cleaners!

Tampa Bay Salt is the only one I've heard of that does live deliveries the right way.

+1 Erin And yes, the reason your cycle is longer/larger is because of the internet rock. Most likely everything was dead on arrival (this is why if you internet order rock your better off with Dry rocks) but all that dead matter has to decay hence the large cycle. Bacteria in a bottle could...

correct! As for the other part to your answer, I do not know if the "precipitate" will just dissolve when in the tank. I'm sure it would and there not be any neg effects.

You have a LFS check your water yet?

I believe this product could work as it says it does. However that is not to say there is not more to pay attn to. Like Northstar mentioned. Imo i think these products need to give specifics on what they include, not just tell u what they do. You STILL need to test your water. It sounds like...

saltwaterfish.com used to have a pretty bad rep. When they credit you for dead on arrival it becomes "credit" toward next purchase. Which sometimes led to many many purchases before you get back what you paid or just giving up with credit left.

Look for local reefer forums to buy nice live rock, or craigslist. Drip Acclimate, I drip all my critters only ever lost 1 purple lobster doing drip.
