Here's my tank.I have a 29 gal Biocube. I have 20lbs of #1 Aragonite sand for substrate.I got 30lbs of live rock from Nick at Rose city Aquariums(nice rock!) Also thanks to Issac at Seahorse for helping a newbie & setting me up with timers,filter media etc.Just waiting for it to cycle now.

For those of you that want to pump your own gas have you checked into the cardlock systems? Pacfic pride is one & they are a Salem based company with nation wide locations(no I do not work for them)The downfall is you do not know how much a gallon you are paying until your bill comes but it is usually close to market rate,sometimes cheaper.We use them for fueling our trucks at work & they are pretty slick.

I have a stupid noobie question regarding feeding.From the books I have been reading & what my son does they say shut your powerheads off during feeding.I was talking to my brother & he said he leaves his on because the fish seem to like chasing the food.What's your thoughts? forgot to add, my bro & I both have 29 gal biocubes.

My wife spotted him this am & plucked him off a rock(clap)

I think I am in the minority on World of Wet Pets here.I bought my Bio cube from them because they had the best price of all the places I called.When I went in to get it they were helpful.Just my 2 cents.

Will do, what is it?

Not to be a thread hijacker but..... I think I may have one also. I noticed a little green one today after I fired up my tank yesterday.

Man I wish I had my tank ready. I going to get live rock tomorrow & just getting it started.

Boy those two places could burn up a paycheck real fast.(clap)

Congratulations! twenty five years married + 5 dating here.How in the world she's ever put up with me this long I'll never know.

I'd like to talk about using that stuff in my Biocube when I come down Saturday to get get live rock. Mike

Very Nice!!

None yet. I'm just collecting stuff to get the tank ready to set it up.I'm thinking I will most likely stick with lps,leathers,shrooms. From what I've been reading I have been leaning towards the K1.

I have a powerhead question.I'm looking at powerheads for my 29 gal Biocube(not set up yet).The Koralia nano puts out 240gph The Koralia 1 puts out 400gph or the Maxi-Jet 1200 puts out 295gph.Do you think the Koralia 1 is too much flow? I don't want to put corals in & have them over powered by water flow.

Guess I'd better expand my location.I'm in Kelso,Washington.Darn though I'd love to take you up on the sand offer!

I finally got a tank today(29 gal Biocube) I went with Aragonite reef sand as compared to live sand.The bag says it needs minimum rinse required.Can I rinse that in tap(well)water or does it need to be salt water? I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions as I go. Thanks in advance, Mike

Thank you for the offer but it's an hours drive for me & I get up anywhere from 2:30 am to 3:45 am Depending on my load times(truck driver)for work so I'm a early to bed person.Kills the social life.(nutty)

Hopefully as much fun;) (kidding)

Another place might be Began truck repair.It is a tanker truck repair shop & it's located in the same parking lot as Sea Horse Aquarium Supply in Portland.They may sell some scrap pieces.

Hi I'm the new guy here. I'm in Kelso Wash.I've had a fresh water tank but I'm looking at getting into saltwater.My brother & son have saltwater tanks & have gotten the bug in me.Due to putting both kids through college at the same time I'm going to stay with a nano for now.I'm sure I'll have lots of questions.
