is there anywhere local that sells quality live rock for less then $4 per pound? right now liveaquaria has their 45lb premium fiji for $182.54 shipped. which would come down to $4.06 per pound. just curious if there are any local places that can beat this price?

so i get home from work today, feed the fish per usual. then take a glance in the tank and i see my foxface stuck up against one of my mp10's (hes done this before but never for as long). instantly i lower the power down and he shakes loose. now im guessing he was stuck there for some time...

So recently one of my MP10w pumps was very loud and didn't seem to be putting out the flow it should have been. I contacted EcoTech and they helped me troubleshoot that my dry side assembly was the problem. Then, under their instruction, I used their replacement site to order a new dry side...

im at a loss as to what i should use to light my (soon to be built) frag tank. the lighting rig does not need to look nice, it will not be display. coral growth would be key here, as well as of course a lower cost is always nice. choices so far: 4 bulb 36" T5 *already have it, *bulbs will...

okay. so the new plan for my 75 gallon display tank will be a basement sump/fuge/frag grow out area. but i am no expert, so i enlist your help! heres what i have in mind: glass tank for fuge/frag rack. (tank size?) rubber tub for live rock. 1" drain, 3/4" return. auto top off directly from...

So I may be running my plumbing down to my basement (down 1 floor) for all the sump/equip needs. So i'll need a strong enough pump to make that distance (maybe 10-15' of head), and id plan to use an external pump. also, anyone have good experience either plumbing through the floor or wall and...

im 99.9% sure its my mag 9.5 return pump. though the only testing ive done so far is to put my hand in the water, feel an bit more "sting" through an open cut then normal. then turn off my pump, and not feel as much as a sting. as for now, i disconnected the return pump. i'll try some...

anyone read any of Song of Ice and Fire it or watch the first season on HBO? i watched the first season and am now reading the first book. There are about 5 of us at my work that have all watched/read some of it, just curious if anyone here has.

so, heres the reason i missed the west chicago frag swap, and also the reason why my tank hasn't had any major upgrades or coral adds to it recently... 2011 Subaru WRX Limited.

anyone else fine sweeper tentacles horrifying (not literally)? i mean you have a really pretty, colorful, peaceful coral just sitting there knowing how great it looks.... then BAM, all of the sudden these weird, almost clear, horrible little arms shoot out of it all over the place making it...

so i finally got around to installing my pH probe, and during the day im measuring approx 8.1 pH, and well after lights out its dropping to around 7.8. is this too much of a swing? i think i need some chaeto for my fuge!

anyone know the water conditions needed to host a good, growing pod population? my 75 gal is currently cycling, and i want to get a nice population of trigger and copepods going before I really put (m)any fish in. just wondering when would be too soon to add some pods to the tank.
