[ziggy_dappa]

Ey ziggy, whats up.

I kool man, wassup you on land ??
I looking to make a turn by Raj tomorrow.

[HondaB20B]

^^^ nah, i outside. surrounded by salt water....................LOL
was to call him and see if i can special order some fish

^^ You must do water changes to keep your marine tank healthy.
Trace elements, calcium, magnesium and alkalinity get used up and needs to be replaced also nitrates build up and need to be removed.
For a fish only tank you can do a 20-25% water change every month or more often if you have a reef.
I do a 10% change every week.

thanks well i really have my work cut out for me

[Reefplanet]

So you can order from raj and he will like mail it to you? lol

[HondaB20B]

^^ no, you order stuff, he gives you a price, and if he brings it, you pay after he puts it in quarantine. He usually brings in the regular fast selling fish and corals. If you see fish online that you interested in, depending on what it is, he might bring 1 or 2. Then you go by him and pick it up

[HondaB20B]

Hmmmmmm, cant wait for the young ones to hit the market......

[ziggy_dappa]

^^^ Maroons boy de pit bull of the clown fish world !!!

[HondaB20B]

[ARES0610]

aye fellas,
I'm shutting down my reef tank and I'm looking for homes for the fish.
I have a pinktail trigger, yellow tang, lawnmower blenny, mandarin, blue tang, pair of clowns. All these fish except the clowns need a reasonably established tank. I've had most of these fish for over two years.
Give me a call if you are interested.

[HondaB20B]

I'll take the trigger and the lawnmower blenny. I need one for my other tank.

why u shutting down man?

[Reefplanet]

Hey B2OB if i ask raj to bring down corals and inverts form liveaquatria ..the cheap ones lol would it be like the same price or so?

[HondaB20B]

No he wont. He dont do it that way. When he brings fish and corals in he buys in bulk.............like 200 fish and 50 pieces of coral. in that shipment, regular people who buy from him he will special order for. Allot of people used to order stuff and when he bring it they tell him they dont want it again............... he dont like that..............i dont blame him.
call the man and deal with him. It have certain things i cant answer like prices and stuff

Is 1/4" glass thick enough for a 48"x18"x18 aquarium? Total volume would roughly be 69 gallons. Does anyone use or have any experience with the AquaClear 110 before? I've seen good reviews online. I called Chais and they have a Resun EF 800 canister filter. Anybody have any experience with this brand or filter?

Oh forgot to add that the tank wouldn't be heavily planted or heavily populated. A couple female bettas, neon tetras, cardinal tetras & a couple shrimp.

[sharkman121]

yeh 1/4 inch glass is sufficient for those specs aquarium, i own one with those exact specs.

[BAZZINGA]

I bought it about 1hr ago from Pet House (Opposite Medford Gas Station). It braced on top. Got it at a reasonable price $550. Next step, build a stand!
So about the filter... Go with the Resun EF 800 canister filter or the AquaClear 110?

[sharkman121]

i have reservations about those Resun filters, if you really wanna go with a canister filter though, id recommend the Eheim series of filters. Wazir in aranguez supposed to have. his number is somewhere in the thread here.

[sharkman121]

I sold that same aquarium, aquarium stand, eheim filter and styrofoam etc for about $800 couple months aback. Guy got a good deal.

I running the Resun EF800 canister filter on a 75 gal saltwater tank 2 1/2 yrs now with only one problem about a yr ago. The rubber seal needed changing....................thats it. Other than that........................real good for my FOWLR.

N00b question alert
If it works good on a saltwater tank it would work good on a freshwater tank? Forgive me...

[d@v3]

anyone knows who have electric blue rams and red shrimp ????

Yup, to be honest, most filters work real good because they design them to handle saltwater use. You cant go wrong with either of the filters. Its all dependant on what you really want and your budget. The aquaclears work real good also from my experience..............both work good its just your choice.
One drawback between a hang-on and a canister is the canister runs your water temp a little bit higher......... nothing significant though. For you purpose, you wont see it, someone running a reef will.........................just my 2cents

[BAZZINGA]

Thanks for the advise fellers! It was greatly appreciated. Will update with some pics by next week.

[HondaB20B]

Bazzinga, I started using the Aqueon 55/75 power filter (2-3mths now) and it working real good in my saltwater tubs right now. The design is is allot better than the Aquaclear and how the flow is, it gives more areation. I bought 3 of them and they working real good. PM Agent Roro on the forum, he's the supplier.
