Im am going to be moving to el paso and will be taking my tank with me. Its only a 20gal tank with 2 fish but has 20 coral and a clam in it. So what do you all think the best way to do this. Im going to keep about 4in of water in the tank to keep the sand alive. And the fish im going to put in a 5 gal bucket with some of the live rock. not sure how to move the corals and clam. Also are there any portable heaters?? I will do the drive in one day so thats one good point. Or is this just a bad idea. Or if i could would it be better to have some one hold the live stock and fedex the to me After i get the tank runing in a day or 2 after i get there??

i have the sundial lighting setup on my 20gal. it a nice quality setup by you are going to want new bulbs the factory bulbs a junk. After looking at the price of around $200 plus for the lights than another $80 for the you are at $ almost $300. So for an extra $40 you can get the 4x24 light fixture from AIT. Witch comes with the best bulbs and reflectors you can get. ATI 4x24

any one ever go on any group rides (motorcycle) in the austin area, Or any ducati riders out there??

I have the current sundial t5 set up. Im very happy with it. The price was right but the bulbs that come with it a junk. I changed them out for giesemann bulbs. They are the best t5 bulbs you can get locally. Next time I change bulbs im going to go with AIT bulbs. Dont get me wrong the giesemann bulbs look very nice and aquatek has the hole line up and a display so you can see what the bulbs look like when on. I would stay away from the pure actinic, the par output on them is very low

I have a mixed tanks with sps and lps. I also have a crocea clam that is doing very well. ALl I have had was the t5 lighting.

I would not change all the bulbs at ones. I would do one or 2 a week, and let the coral in the tank adjust to the new lights and the new spectrum the lights are putting out.

Any one have some nice looking mush rooms for a good price????

are you sure it wasnt the other way around??? wont eat corals but will eat inverts?

You could talk to the manufacturer, Most tanks are only tempered on the bottom. You could still make overflows on the back. Take a look at the display tank at Fish Business. My next tank will have over flows like his. Looks much nicer and takes up way less room in the tank

i would get the one that has the secondary switch

auto top of does make one that works well and you can get the one that has 2 switch to be on the safe side. It is a home made kit you can tell when you get it. Its not like the ones made by the big mane brand companies, but it works very well and is priced right.

I was at that club/bar with some friends about 2 months ago and its still there. The bar is kinda cheeezzzeee imo

Going on vacation in August and dont want to keep the a/c on the low 70 to keep the tank cool when gone. Any one have a chiller that i could rent or barrow????

No but I saw a VERY nice myster wrass for only $99.00 The start at about $150 from most online stores

All the corals i got are open and look very nice!!

I just bring my new water into the houe next to the tank and let it mix for a few hours

Do you have a ship date???

You can run both in this reactor reactor And the carbon they sell is awesome !!

also lots of online venders stop feeding the fish a few days before shipping so the fish dont funk up the water

Get a big canister filter and fill it with some good carbon just my 2 cents.

im good for right around $100.00 looks like the 3 of us so far are in for about $300 so far.....its looking good

any one?????

any one in austin have a par meter that I could use. Trying to find out what I might be able to keep towards the top of my 20gal high tank with the sundial t5 light I have thanks.

how do i get the money to you???? do i just come by your house and give you the green

Ill be right around $80-$100. Its looking good. This is my first time doind a group order, not sure how it works do I place the order with vivid or do i do that with you??? And do i just give you the$$$ when i pick up or stop by on the day i place the order
