WOW! That is a freakin awsome tank! I love it.

As for your reef ceramics, I know it is a lot of work, but, if you can, keep them submerged and do daily water changes in fresh water for about 5 days. The best way to do it is actually have a MaxJet power head run in it, or two, and have fresh water run in the container constantly very slowly for 5 days until it is clear running. When you put it in the tank it may run cloudy for a day or two. But it will clear up and look REALLY new until you get the Coraline growing.

Ron, I don't really have a contain that it will fit in that I want to cut a hole in. Any suggestions?



Thanks Crazdreef

Sorry double post.

Do you have, or, can you get a garbage container? Like the Brute container by Rubbermaid? It comes in a 24 gallon size or a 44 gallon size. There are cheaper versions that you can get for under $20.

If it is the same size as I have seen around, you should have no problem fitting it.

Hey, that tank looks awesome. But really, did you like win the lottery. I can barely afford to purchase fish food for my saltwater.

 

[pennyguy23]

I know these things cost alot of money. But Now that I have everything. I shouldn't have to buy much more besides fish/coral. Which are the cheapest part of the tank. A 100$ sound pretty good for a fish.

I am looking at buy a pair of crosshatch triggers. They are 450$. Anyone know of anywhere that are cheapier or is that a pretty good deal? Does anyone have a pair? How do you like them?

[skippyreef]

FAbulous Job!!! I love the little detasils like the porthole and the Oar!! Very Nice!!

my bad

Moonpod is right, we live in Windermere area around the corner from Disney and Amura is my favorite Sushi place. The LFS in Orlando are not that great, especially if you've visited stores on the west coast. IMO the best is Ocean Blue but it is small and on the northeast side of town (about 45 minutes drive from Disney resorts).

 

[pennyguy23]

We are staying at the polynesation( don't really know how to spell it) Is there anything close? I don't care how small, I just like new strores.

 

[drifty]

do you get any vibrations from the return going through the tank?
