Wow amazing tank man. Great pics too. What camera and lens did you use?

I just started my tank and went to the frag to get more info. I really liked walking around and seeing the variety of corals and equipment. It was cool to put a face to the names as well. I thank MR for putting this together and all the vendors that attended. I did hope to see more...

In most of the books/artciles I have read it suggests that you do a large water change after the tank cycles to get rid of all the extra algae and to bring the chems back to normal and get clean water. I am using the API Saltwater Master Test Kit. The result for my regular tap water was yellow...

Hey guys, My tank had gone through the cycle and was ready for fish last week. I did a 90% water change. All of my chemicals were fine (ammonia 0ppm, Nitrite 0ppm, Ph 8.3 and Nitrate 0ppm). I then decided to put in a cleaning crew (7 snails) before I started to put in fish. When I checked my...

I may be interested in the Yellow Tang. Where in New Rochelle are you?

Thanks

I got some new LR! I am really liking my tank more and more everyday. check out my new scape: http://www.manhattanreefs.com/gallery/files/3/7/4/5/aquascape1.jpg http://www.manhattanreefs.com/gallery/files/3/7/4/5/aquascape2.jpg http://www.manhattanreefs.com/gallery/files/3/7/4/5/aquascape3.jpg...

put up some pics so we can see. I bought some LR yesterday and just discovered a little star. I hope that it survives. Good luck with yours. here is mine (a little to the right of the barnacle, its actually on the glass, not on the rock)...

Thanks! Thanks cdagostino! It was a pleasure doing business and my tank is tarting to look good now with the new lr. So empty before ;-( check it out some time.

I am interested in 30lbs of LR. I am on pelham pkway and white plains r u near there? Have never purchased anything through here so don't know the procedure.

Thanks guys. I will sign up for the Frag Swap as I will be ready for fish by then. In terms of the lighting, I will look more into it and will also see if my friends can build me a canopy w/lights. Next stop- LRs and lots of them.

Cool. That's a lot of rock though. I guess it is all worth it. Now, I am starting simple with a fish only and then want to move on to reef. I don't think it will take long for the transition as I am just worried about chemicals and tests and everything that one needs to maintain a reef. So far I...

you got me man! lol

Yes, he adds more stuff each year. It is beginning to look too cluttered though. I have some live rock and live sand. About 1" of sand and 1" aragonite. I think I have about 15 lbs of live rock. Did you mean 1/2 lb or 1 to 2 lbs per gallon? Thanks for the suggestion rgun2515.

I added some pics and info on a blog (My New Tank). Is there any way to speed up the cycling? I am using cyle and adding ammonia as I have some bacteria already and its working pretty well. Any other suggestions?
