    One of the last stages to redoing the "Fish Room", aside from the glam new tank, was redoing the floors. Previously, we had the "builder's choice" carpet that came with the house. Over time, it's gone from a nice light gray to a dingy, scuzzy brownish gray that I couldn't stand to look at...

    Upgrading to a 150

    I can help you with that! I've battled my OWN awful HA problems!! It will be a lot of work, but worth it in the end. You'll need the following: several plastic bins/buckets (Home Depot all purpose orange ones or similar) several gallons of clean salt water (for about 200#s, I'd suggest...

    Upgrading to a 150

    You will be just fine! Going bigger is exciting! Even if you have limited local livestock options, start investigating online purchases from reputable vendors, such as LiveAquaria.com. Plan your shipment carefully around your work schedule, budget, and livestock choices, since it's an...

    Yes, it really was, and nerve-wracking! Had to set up multiple Rubbermaid bins with powerheads and heaters to hold all the water, rock and livestock, and keep everything reasonably comfortable for 48 hours while I tore down the old and rebuilt the new. Have to admit, I kept checking on the...

    WHEW! It's finally set up! :bounce: Here are some initial photos: Full tank shot showing the tank, stand, and canopy. The paint is still drying on the 3rd and final door, which is why is isn't mounted yet. The canopy has a hidden door that's big enough for me to access properly...

    Wow, I don't know where you guys find the time to photograph your progress along the way! I've been so busy that I couldn't catch my breath, let alone a shot! But here are some photos of my old system. Mess of a thing called a sump: Shelves for more wiring and the ballasts...

    CaribSea Black Sand

    No worries, just a little nervous trying this sand out as there are mixed reviews. Suppose I should simply get used to that in this hobby. For every positive there is a negative. Thank you for your feedback! :D

    Is it safe tho? Is anyone else running this in their tanks? What are long term results of using it?
