All I can say is Whooooooaaaaaa. I think your going a little fast. You have some concerns about why your coraline algae isn't growing but you purchased a bunch of corals before you knew what their lighting requirements were. I would first get an alk test and get your alkalinity in line. My...

JDM, Where is this place, what is there address. I don't know the area at all.

JDM, What's the name of the store?

Looking for about 4 bags, might buy more if the price is right. I have a guy I'm email right now that might have some in KC, he was kind of short in his first reply to my request. Do you need some, if so how much and where are you located. BTW thanks for the reply

Looking for Southdown in St. Louis or surrounding area. Could travel easily to KC or elsewhere if I can find it. Please let me know if you have some even if it's farther away then you would think I would travel.

Well I think I have my plan in place. I will add the Oolitic sand after I rinse it by putting it in a 5 gallon bucket and running water for a considerable amount of time. I will then add it through a PVC pipe (Just because I have to add a consideralbe amount because of the size of my tank) to...

I'm bumping up my sand bed in my tank and I want some information. I currently have a fuge with a DSB of approximately 5 inches. I also want to increase the depth of the sand in my main tank which is currently only about 2 inches at the most. I have a 150 gallon tank with LR several mushrooms...

I seem to be having a similar problem, my alk is fine. Can't figure out the problem.

I know this is posted about a thousand times but I can't seem to get it straight in my mind so here goes. Only a few softies and one buble coral right now in my 150 gallon oceanic, looking to start adding corals more and more corals soon. Currently I use Reef Advantage to maintain my calcium...

Thanks everyone I will give them a call.

Well, the first email I sent last week so I would think they have had time. I tried to reach ISPF and haven't heard anything from them as well. These mail order companies need to check their email once in awhile.

I have sent two emails to inland aquatics and have yet to get a response. I've heard several people on this board recommending them. Any reason why they might not be responding to my inquiries?

Do you know if your tank is drillable. I made my own overflows out of acrylic and drilled four 1 3/4 inch holes, two holes for each overflow. I then used the bulkheads to "bolt" the overflows into the tank. You need two gaskets for each bulkhead, one between the box and the bottom of the tank...

Thought I would start trying to get a list together of contacts in the St. louis and surrounding area. This way we could trade frags and anything else that we need.

I surprised you can stand the noise. I have two overflow boxes in my tank with 1" outputs. I have two gate valves installed on each one of the outputs. I start the pump with the gate valves wide open and then begin to slowly restrict the flow so that the water is backed up approximately...
