Well, garsh! You look good too, Erin! ;)

Hey everyone! I just wanted to get some input/suggestions on stocking my 110gal tank. Honestly, I'm just starting with a list of fish I think are pretty because isn't that the point of tanks? To enjoy them visually? I understand that some of these choices will need to wait until my...

Hello and welcome, welcome and hello.

Woohoo!!! :mrgreen:

I don't have a crawlspace so I'm not sure how I'd find out which way the joists run. Here are the pictures as promised. Sorry if they're huge, I'm doing this from my phone.

Hey thanks for the suggestion Civicdemon! I'll definitely try that! More pics to come tomorrow just to be sure! Thanks everyone!!! :Cheers:

Yeah this probably doesn't help, but it's the only picture I have at the moment. I can get more tomorrow.

You guys really are a wealth of knowledge! :bowdown: On the ground floor, I cannot feel any vibrations if someone is stomping or even jumping. I do not think I have a crawlspace. At least, I haven't seen one. There are two steps up to the front door, but they are concrete. I'll see if I can...

The room I'm planning on setting up in is carpeted. The rest of the bottom floor is tile. The only concrete I have is in the garage (naturally). I rent my house so I don't think I can make any structural modifications to the place. How would I find out if the structure is suitable?

STIs are great for those that can afford them. I fell in love with the Subaru purr. No other car sounds like that. (Dreamy sigh). Kinda funny you live in MoVal. I used to live in Redlands and Loma Linda. The AWD would be fantastic driving through the canyon. Just watch out for the burros! Lol

Haha! Yes! I have a 2002 Subaru WRX. I'm pretty sure it has made me a Subaru loyalist. She's very fun and the awd is worth the lesser gas mileage. I was definitely planning on getting an RODI system (especially since I just found out Las Vegas is #3 on the top 10 cities with the worst water)...

I definitely do plan on getting a sump for my tank. What size sump would you recommend? Also, what flow rate multiple should I have? I don't plan on having sps any time soon, as I understand they are a little higher maintenance and I am a beginner.

Do you think 2 Hydor Koralia 1050 powerheads will provide sufficient flow for my 125 gallon?

Thank you everyone for the Craigslist suggestion! I just happened to find a brand new listing for a glass 125 gallon tank (I was originally only hoping for a 50) for $125.00. This seems like a spectacular deal compared to other tanks listed on Craigslist. Am I correct to assume this? Or are the...

It seems like having a sump provides multiple benefits both aesthetic and practical. I'd like to have one to hide all the junk and also I've read the additional volume of water helps stabilize the system too. I have read a little bit about mandarins and realize I should have the tank going...
