ive had reef crystals before and i liked it. lets see how this bucket goes but the price is 92 bucks for 200 gallons worth :theyareon

Tony as far as a dip goes, look into bayer advanced complete insect killer. Theres a whole thread on rc and i believe one on here. You wouldnt believe it but it works for everything.

the funny thing is i couldnt believe it and i didnt want to harm my future tank when i did the dip to the corals. im very careful after everything that has happened in the past. thanks buddman i can actually buy it at a home depot out here in nj. i will prob. pick it up tom. after work i gotta get eggcrate so might as well get both :sigh:

 

[Tonyscoots84]

updated... :biggrin: temptation is getting the best of me. I cant wait to set this tank up :sad2:

i was thinking of doing a manifold under the tank instead of using the phosban pumps. does everyone think this would be a good idea?. thanks guys

 

[Tonyscoots84]
