could you email me with some kind of driving directions please?

Hi rhodes, I live in Evansville Indiana and I have been looking everywhere for southdown.Where in Louisville is this Home depot.I dont know Louisville that well so some directions would be great.e-mail me as I have a couple of questions.I tried to e-mail you and it didnt work.

Go with a pm hot1.Ive got one on my 55g and it is a scum sucking machine.I got mine used but you can find them on the net new for about 169.00 try marinedepot.com

where do all of you buy your fans?do they have to be 120vac?

I used red slime remover made by ultralife reef products.alot of people dont believe in chemicals but worked for me with no side effects.Just make sure you take the carbon or whatever filter media you use out and turn your skimmer off for 48 hours.

what type of fan should I buy.the 115vac ok or what should I get?

I just bought a icecap 660 with the bulbs and installed it in the canopy for my 55g.My question is can I get away with no fans or should I install a couple.If so where can I pick up some cheap.Im a pretty good do-it-yourselfer.Sorry it is 4 110w bulbs and the back of the canopy is open.

try ebay or reefpure.net

so you think the 1.5 hr trip will cause to much die off to put it in my tank.I only have a 10g Q tank and I dont think that will hold all of my corals

I use salifert and have had good luck!!I got them at saltwaterfish.com,they range from $9.00 to 20.00

I have a 55g reef with about 40lbs of rock and a very shallow sand bed.My question is can I add about 50lbs of rock and 3 or 4" of sand out of an established tank that has been setup for 3 years.I have to travel about 1.5 hrs to pick it up.How bad will that effect it.Please your opinions are...

sorry no pics.Im getting ready to invest in a good camera.I touched one with my scrapper and it kinda fell apart.

They look like little lint balls.they are white and are growing on everything,but mostly the rock.

look at the post on the best hang-on skimmers.Its like five posts above this one.Im stuck between the pm hot 1 and the TF 1000 hang-on.

I am interested in what all of you hang-on skimmer users think.Whats the best hang-on skimmer you've ever seen,or used.I know there are alot of differences such as what size tank and bioload.But everyone's opinion is worth a listen.
