when does that happen?

[SampaGuy]

get some plants and it will look nice

[smackdown]

it will take a little while before i can put stuff in it. The water has to cycle. And those 5 little rocks were 300 dollars...

[On_Her_Face]

fuck.. what type of fish u want.. get one that puffs up when it gets pissed/scared

[TwinyTwin]

smackdown nice tank...where are you buying ur liverock and live stock from...check out atlantareefclub.org...you can find alot of stuff people are trying to get rid of for cheap or willing to trade...let me know when ur tank has matured enough i got plenty of xenia i need to get rid of you can have...if you have any questions bout salt water let me know i would be happy to help.

[smackdown]

thanks man i will check that out.!!

[Killer]

salt water set ups are so expensive!!!! my dad has spent so much money on his.. and no matter how he does the water everything always dies!!!!!!! he finally had some fish in there for quite some time... he left for like a weekend.... the heater went crazy.. ended up cooking his fish!!!!!!

[The Golden Child]

give or take the salt will crystalize in the filter below probably within a month period ..
i think i will be doing a sea horse set up with my 10 gallon i have ..
maybe even some little fish so the sea horse doesnt get lonely .. lolz
i will post pictures when i do have things running but it wont be anytime soon ..

[aaronfelipe]

Damn thats pretty big.

[smackdown]

ya i wanted a smaller one but the people i talked to said the smaller they are the harder they are to keep up. With the larger ones there is more room for error.

[smackdown]

Those are cool but they will mess with the smaller ones. Im going to get some little ones at first the work my way up..

[OG-Skinny]

nice, u sure that's a 65? It looks rather small.. I would love to have a 150 gallon, but i don't have my own place yet, so i'll stick to my little 30 gallon.

same here u live with my friend from ny in a 1 bedroom ..
have a dog - ferret - bird to take care of ..
i wanna get a town house and start up a project maybe 150 or a custom build like i used to have ..
i was planning on starting a 10 gallon right now but just been lazy ..

[smackdown]

36wide..18deep..24tall. For the space i had it fits perfect. The longer ones that are not as tall look much larger. The room is pretty small so it fits nice right beside my desk.

Added some plants and a boat!!! The water still isnt ready for fish buts its close. The water is still kinda messy from me moving stuff around.

coming out nice bro ..

[AnthonyF]

sweet. where do you guys go for the saltwater setups?


smackdown-good to see another viper owner on here. Do you belong to the VCA?

[Z32redondo]

Very nice it looks like you have a great start in reef tanks. My uncle and his g/f have two about the siz of yours maybe a little bigger. And my grand parents have a very nice 200 gallon in there living room. They really are nice when they get setup right. If I were you I would get some small sharks to put in it and then you would be pimpin james bond style. :jerkit:

I go to "Pet Showcase" in Hiram. Robby really knows his stuff.

As far as VCA no i dont belong. I went to one of their little meets but have done anything with them in a while. Not trying to sound bad but half of the guys didnt even know what kind of block their own car had or what an A arm was.... Not that i care but i thought it was kinda funny... :D Nice Rt-10

[Vuongy_Dong]

Nice setup. I've just started up a 125gl satwater tank with live rock and a 25gl display refugium. Fun hobbly and very expensive. spent about $4500 total in the last 2 months on the setup. and thats only with a few fish. lol. keep it up.

[Vuongy_Dong]

also, if you want quality fish and a great price, i have a tropical fish store to refer you too. NO ONE can beat their prices. exp: bought my blue ribbon eel $60, purple tile fish (large) $35. online prices are $63 for these guys. lawnmower blenny (medium) $15

[Kevykev]

thanks guys.... got some rocks today..

[EG6]

Tank looks good so far, Just curious but is this a self cleaning tank? I have a turtle in a 20 Gallon tank and it's always a pain in the ass to clean his tank out.
