contact Dustin21 on here he has a lot of stuff for sale and he just lowered the price on his liverock and he wont flake out on you either

unable to veiw that photo

what all comes with it and what price do you have in mind? what part of austin are you in?

is he a spammer

all my fish from aqua dome and aqua tek never a death on any of them and i travel to Temple with them

I seem to have good luck at all three stores mentioned, but i mostly shop at aqua dome, best selection and price

Aqua Dome will have tons of corals

Aqua Dome is my favorite. has saltwater fish upstairs at a good price. Aqua tek is a real nice place as well and also river city aquatics. I have been to many of the Houston stores as i travel there every week but Austin will beat the Houston prices

Happy 30th,,, wish i was 30 again

BTW I live in Temple on North Side, I work in Belton right off I-35 near the 190/I-35 splitt can arrange a pick up at work if needed.

$25.00

all bulbs were replaced about a month ago

this is an odssey fixture with three 175 watt bulbs and two 130 wath power compact actinics about a foot off water

my tank is a 180 gallon, 6 foot long i only keep softies, i have a good ballast it is a icecap 660 and only two power compacts on it right now

I have some moonlights but this looks pretty cool

i may go ahead and add some H/O but not sure

lol i bought a tank from him he had a coral tank and a fish only tank with live rock. i bought the fish only tank. he had a beautiful coral tank mostly had mushrooms but man it was nice.

that is an awesome looking stand WOW!!!

ROFL, well the sumps have always worried me with the flooding issue, they are a pain to access, always keeping flow adjusted on over flow when tank level drops, back in the day when i did not have the ro/di system i would come home and water level dropped and return pump sucking air and making air bubbles in tank everywhere had to run to lfs for water.

and yeah lot of hardware but no real big issue and it all works and no deaths or major problems.

1 guy in Bryan tx told me i read all the info on line and reef club posts but in the end i do what works for me and i dont change it unless i have a problem.

i said well spoken friend.............LOL

lots of good info thx and keep it coming

i done lost track of the amount of live rock in there. Those are basic HOB filters i have some media in the trays they both have bio wheels on them. I also have 2 fluval 405's under the stand. 1 on each end of the tank. I have 3 HOB skimmers. 1 seaclone 150 and 1 seaclone 100 and 1 red sea skimmer, no sumps i do not like sumps at all. i have a couple powerheads and a #5 tunze. with all the skimmers and filters flow is not a problem. mostly zoas and polyps corals

5 green chromis, 2 blue tangs, 2 yellowtail damsels, 1 nemo clown, 1 very large gold strip maroon clown, 1 green mandrin, 1 green wrasse and a 6 line wrasse, a couple diferent starfish

My brother and I were discussing the wattage on my 180 gl setup. He thinks I need more wattage. and I have often felt that way too so I decided to ask all you experts. I currently have three 175 watt MH'S and two 130 watt power compact actinics for a grand total of 785 watts of lighting. He feels that I need a total of 1080 to meet the min requirments for a saltwater tank. So I felt there will be a lot of different veiws on this subject and wanted to hear everyones take on this subject.

We were also discussing the amount of time to run the lights. I decided to have the MH's come on from 9am till 4 pm and the actinics come on at 7 or 8 am till 7 pm. I want to be able to enjoy my tank after I get home in the evening and I like it with actinics only running

Has this site been running slow for anyone else besides me?
