i figured this. i was just trying to get something more quite then whats in there. well i guess ill keep what i have until i get the big tank set up. do you think this pump will be good for the 120 gallon tank? thanks for responding.

What do you think about using a Quiet One 4000 on my 29 gallon biocube? Is it to much? It gets close to 1000 GPH at 0 head room and I have about 3 feet from the refugium to the tank?

PM sent Dena.

I want to thank all of you for responding. I got me some salt today and mixed up a gallon to add for top offs. I'll test it in a couple of days to see if it's going up.

ill have to get me one of those first. im old school right now. im using a hydrometer until i can get a refractometer

is 1.020 to low

so i got my tank back finally and its up and running good. things are looking ok but im having issues with my salinity. its between 1.019 and 1.020. how can i raise this without messing anything up?

This coming Saturday 3/5/11? If so that would help since I live in new braunfels. What time would you be coming through?

Just wondering how the hydraulic cement worked out. Please let me know when you can

Your awesome Dena. When I get my tank this weekend I'll let you know when I can pick up to arrang something

Cool thanks

So do I just make the rock and pull it out of the sand once it hardens a bit? Also how do I keep it just moist? Do I spray it everyday with a spray bottle?

Hey Jason I have a question. How long does it take for the rocks to set up so that you can put them into your tank? Also do you have to soak the rock in water to harden it up? I saw a video where the person used Portland cement, crushed oyster shells and crushed rock salt. He said that he soaks the rock for about 3 months and changes out the water every other day. Whats your thoughts on this?

Cool thanks

Awsome. Im getting my tank back next weekend. I was going to get it this weekend but after moving to the new house I'm tired and need time to unpack. I'll get with you once I get my tank back to set something up. Thanks so much

Just curious about what type of lighting you are using on you 30 gallon. Also does it support SPS well?

Derry I sent you a PM. Thank you both for your willness to help me out. Thats whats so great about this club. I wish I was still in Austin.

So I am excited to get my tank back from my brother but I have a lot of work to do on it. I went to his house this weekend and things didnt look to well. A lot of things have died and others are on their way there. Below is a little back ground on why he has the tank and not me. About a year ago me and my wife moved from Austin to New Braunfels do to work. The house we are currently in is a rental home. I was unable to keep my tank when we moved because the landlord said she did not want fish tanks in the house in case they started to leak. She said she didn't want it to mess up the hardwood floors. At the time I was thinking about selling my tank but my brother said that he would watch it for me until the wife and I bought our own house. Well that time has come and we are closing on a house this Friday. Unfortunately, with me not having my tank this whole year, it has not done well and I have lost a lot of corals, two of which were my open brain coral which I loved a lot and my toad stool leather coral which my wife loved a lot. My brother has his own saltwater fish only tank but is not experienced with corals. I do thank him a lot for willing to watch it and some things have made it but most things have died which you can see from the pictures below. I don't like to ask for help but with the $5500 down payment on the new house I don't have the money to buy all new corals. If you have any frags that you are willing to donate or help me out with on price please let me know. I will be picking up my tank from my brothers house on 02/26/11 so I can pick up things after that. I want to get the tanked moved and set back up before adding anything to it. I know this has been long to read but thanks for taking the time to finish.

do you still have this is so would you be willing to sell just the Pink cynarina open brain (approx. 6-8" across when expanded)?

Is this the ballast only?

might be a dumb question to ask but do you every dip anemones? If so how?

What size is it and does it work

Thank you

I got this from a fellow reefer awhile back and I can't figure out which filter is which. It sounds dumb but I've never had one so never knew which filter is called what. I want to get the right kind and also want to put them in the right order. The following is a link to a picture of the unit. Also does this size unit need a pump to increase water flow through the system? It's a 120 GPD unit. http://www.austinreefclub.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=msg&attach_id=11774

That's cool. Can't get them yet. Thanks anyways.
