  2. Hello all, I need some info on which pump has worked or will the best for me! I am moving and will be changing up my system. I am moving the sump to the basement and going to plumb it up to the next floor and will need a pump with the power to do it. It will be running a 150g reef. It will be appx 15-18 feet travel up, with appx 4 90degree or 2 90degree and 2 45degree bends....

    please let me know what you would think would be the best and the appx price!! I would only like a NEW pump!

    Thanks all

  3. Hello all, I have recently upgraded to a 150g tank and now need to sell the 75g tank. I bought this set up new 2.5 years ago from Patrick at Saltwater-fantaseas. I paid a little over 1800 for the whole set up (With out the light set up). The stand is made with oak and is still in great shape! Every thing works great on the tank, no leaks! I just ran out of room so I needed a bigger one!!!

     

    Included in this would be:

    Stand and Canopy

    75G glass tank (with built in over flow)

    35ish gallon sump

    A duel 400w Halide set up with moguls (no reflectors) bulbs are appx 6-7 months old

    Protein Skimmer

    RO/DI unit (probally could use new filters)

    Most of the plumbing parts

    I have an extra pump I could throw in

    Also appx 30-40 lbs of dry live rock (would be used for a base

     

    I am asking $900 800 for the set up, if you think this price is too high please make me an offer. Please ask if you have any questions (I will try to answer them)

     

    The pics that I have up are what it looked like fully stocked, NONE of the live stock is included in this, just an example of what it did look like!

     

    I MAY BE WILLING TO PART OUT, MAKE AN OFFER

     

    Thanks for looking

  4. I was in there tonight, My wife gave me a $300 budget to buy some new coral. I had read some of the reviews of Soutas Saltwater and it sounded like i should go check them out based on what i had read. I Had to drive Past 4 other fish stores to get there but i thought that i would give it a try. I wanted to buy a few small colonies (4-6 in total) none larger than 6 inches or so in total size. The first 3 that i asked about the price on the guy told me they were not for sale, and that he had some smaller frags 1-1.5 inches that he would sell me. I found this to be very disappointing. I have a 150g tank 1 inch pieces would just get lost. I would have been willing to pay good money, cash for the coral (my wife made me take cash so I would not spend more, don't laugh you have all been there!!)..

    I guess in short, I am disappointed in the whole experience there. I was hoping to walk out of there with some coral. When instead I just walked out....(scratch) This does not seem very business conducive to me. (nutty)

     

    If anyone out there has some colonies they would like to part with for cash, please let me know, send me a pic and price

    Thanks

  5. Hello,

     

    I currently have a 75G Reef tank and i am replacing it with a 150g tank.. I need some ideas on how to successfully move all the live stock/water/rock/sand out of the 75g, then move the empty 75G tank, put the 150g tank where the 75g was and then put all the live stock/water/rock/sand into the new 150g thank (scary).

    I am sure many of you have done this (or close to it). I am looking for any advice or cautions. I am planning on doing this on sunday! please help if you can!

    Thanks

  6. I am looking to up grade my 75g reef tank, running out of room (i'm sure that you all have been there!) I would perfer Glass, I would like a wide tank (not long skinny) but not a square either. I want a stand and canopy, i will need a larger sump and skimmer as well. I would perfer to get a turn key system. Let me know what you have and how much you want for it! Thanks for reading

  7. Hello, I hope that some one will be able to let me know what is going on... I have 2 blue fin damsel's. when we go them they were the same size, One is much larger that the other now. I have had them for over a year and a half. The larger of the two is becoming a darker color (than the other one) and is starting to act funny.. By funny I mean it seams like it is guarding a 6x6 inch section of the tank. It swims about 4-6 inches and the backs up the same distance. The area of the tank that this is taking place is not very accessible so see the sand. I am wondering "she" may have laid some eggs or something??? I have never ran into this before or have had a pregnant fish, so i don' even know the signs!! Can any one lend some advise??? (i have only been in Saltwater fish tanks for almost 2 years, i know im still a rookie!! (nutty))

    Thanks for you help!!

  8. my nitrate, nitrite, ammonia are all ok, just had tested when i picked up the clam. The salt was at 1.020 also when i picked it up. I added salt before i put the clam in. The other inverts i have are just star fish, crabs and snails, nothing else!

  9. re

     

    My magnesium is good, I test and dose it weekly, not sure of the exact mag number. The shop had it for a a week or so, I bought it, took it home and it would not open. I had it for 4 days or so. I took it back in the hopes that they could revive it, they had it for just a few hours and it was doing great, i left it there for a week, then i brought it home the other day, and it would not open again. I am sure there is something that i am missing!!

    It is a crocea clam

  10. I have a well established tank (almost two years) and I am trying to add a clam, it is my first one. Every time I bring one home I drip aclimate it for around an hour 15 or so. I think that all of my water peramiters are good. What is happening, after the clam is put into the tank, he barly opens at all, just a little purple comes out the top. At the shop the clam as fully open and looking great. Water temp is between 78-80, Salt and PH are great. Alk/calcium/iodine are good. I have not taken him out of the water, i heard that is really bad. What can i be doing wrong. I dont want to Kill a nother clam!! Please help!!!! If you have any ideas please let me know

    Geoff
