UML you have containers to store/transport that?
i making right now actually. tank about 150 gal+ right now

have one that i not sure how much it stores and then a 30g container...still trying to figure out my best option in terms of location and quantity to transport.

btw how much gallons dem blue plastic barrel does store?

"blue" does not give us an idea of size pal... .................. if its d big barrels yuh does see people fulling water at d side of de road, well its 50gal

[UML]

then for evaporation...

then water changes....

best u take bout 150 gal one time

can i use bottled water? since i just topping off?

you asking for algae bloom.
sharkman, when last yuh change yuh media in yuh DI? ent yuh make over 200 gal already?

ok i understand...but how does fish and coral survive in the wild with pollutants in the water, rain falling (considering rain water too) and all d other things.... ro/di water is ideal conditions and they exist not under those conditions.

one word... dilution, the ocean is vast. Even though there are lots of toxic chemicals, the parts per billion that exists in the water is extremely small.

Anthias??? priceee..

$450....................... but they not eating. once they not eating, thats a chance you taking

yup, big risk. Want a powder blue tang next.

yes...ich magnet.

yup, also very aggressive when it come to other tangs in the tank. I want one also to put in my tank. spoke to a good bit of men that i met by raj that have them and thesay its real pressure........................ the slightest thing and they get ich. i cant catch out nothing in my tank if that happen

[sharkman121]

Even rodi water is not the "ideal conditions". ocean water has trace elements of almost everything that diff marine life need. magnesium, manganese, iodine, iron, copper,zinc etc etc

so wudnt the bottle water/rain water/ dechlorinated water be diluted in the rodi water?

[HondaB20B]

think i might buy the powder blue and a naso and keep it outside in my concrete tubs for about a mth and then put them in my tank

cant compare the rodi water anyone has to the amount of gallons of water in the ocean

you can use it yuh know, but when the algae start to feed off all d stuff in that water, it will take you mths to get it out. yuh go bawl like ah cow

been doing some research in anticipation of getting the powder blue, i think ill use copper/cupramine in a separate tank to treat if necessary. i think the hyposalinity thing sounds very risky.

[HondaB20B]

remember ich spores are always in your tank. all you want is one fish to be stressed and thats the fish that will get it.

[sharkman121]

true... only in extreme cases would one venture to take the fish out to put it in a quarantine tank. That in itself stresses out the fish. Went thru a couple ich outbreaks already where the fish managed to ride it out. Just used my Garlic Guard and selcon.

[sharkman121]

what channel do you have to go through to import fish on yr own? import license needed etc?

[HondaB20B]

what you could do is just get the powder blue bigger than the other tangs in your tank. you still have space to add other fish.

[HondaB20B]

will end up paying alot of money to get a C.I.T.E.S. to import fish/coral right now

[HondaB20B]

ey sharkman................ how come we aint hearing from ryantt?

[sharkman121]

dunno, when yuh see dat probably some accident happened to his fish or sumn.

[HondaB20B]

unless he inside for breaking SoE?

Umm i got a pricing on the cone snail

should be around 3k to set up a home for it (salt water i believe)

so its like almost a 5k investment ill settle for some small turtles and come crabs

nope

i was told its gonna cost about 3K just to set it up and they would feed only on phytoplankton or other micro organisms which u could only get by adding corals and sufficient light to keep the corlas which could range frm an additional 2K - 4K

so its kinda out off my budget for while

[HondaB20B]

so why not keep some shrimp and done?


ey sharkman, did you take a look at the fireshrimp by raj?

[sharkman121]

nah boi, now googled it to see what it looked like.

[Trini Hookah]

"Fire shrimp are able to change from male to female depending on the situation. This ensures that two random shrimp have the potential to pair up and eventually mate."



Nice shrimp though.

[HondaB20B]

seeing it on the computer is one thing................ in real, the red is bright

[HondaB20B]
