Hi there, has any of you purchased one of the Marineland deep-corner tank (36" deep)? I am considering the purchase of the 300Ga version (72x36x27) and would like to have your opinion about the tank. Thanks Eric

Where do you get your live rock from? I am looking for live rock for a 220Ga tank. Online or local retailer? Price (obviously) is important. Thanks Eric

Thanks Will do. Eric

Hello all and thanks for your feedback. I should have been more explicit in my wishes. I am trying to get a tank either rimless or with euro brass (not sure of the spelling). The black silicon would be a nice addition as algae would be much less visible on them (compared to transparent silicon). I understand that the size 72x24x24 is pretty much standard but they predominantly come with 2 side overflow. I'd rather like to have a central overflow. Related to acrylic vs glass. I like the fact that glass is less scratch-able than acrylic. Its maintenance is therefore easier unless things have changed and there are good ways to maintain an acrylic aquarium. Glasscage is not an option for me after reading the various threads and horror stories. I also have seen one of their aquarium and found the finish to be subpar. No good adjustment, polished edges non uniform etc. Needless to say I was not impressed. I am somewhat demanding when it is question of finish. Thanks Eric

Hi There, I am looking into getting a glass tank with about the following sizes: 72"x24"x24". I do not think I can get that type of tanks from a local fish store unless it is custom. Aquarium obsession seemed an option when I looked months ago. Obviously there are been several issues. Does anybody have an address (local or not) where well built large tanks can be purchased. My wishes are black silicon with a central location for the overflow. Thanks Eric

Thanks zygote2k for your feedback. if it's 100$ for having it tested etc. I'll go for it as well but I have not found anybody that would do that for $100. If you have an address, I would appreciate. Thanks Eric

Hi There, I purchased some time ago a chiller and now realize that it needs to be refilled. What is the cheapest way to get this chiller refilled. I know I could have this done by an A/C technician but they are extremely expensive. Does anyone has done this at a low cost? The unit is using R-134a. Thanks Eric

I have heard some good things about the Custom Obsessed Aquariums but would like to have a look at the build quality. I would appreciate if somebody with such an aquarium would allow me to visit. Thank you Eric

Thanks jason for looking out the info. Eric

Any skimmers on sale? Thanks Eric

I need to redo my overflows on my 125gallons aga but can not remember the sizes of the 2 bulkheads. As I do not want to empty the overflow right now, I would appreciate if somebody knows the overflow and return bulkhead sizes. Thanks Eric

I do not seem overly protective ... I think. It is correct that I had put the anemone in the clown's territory and was also thinking in putting the anemone in the opposite corner to check if it makes a difference. I may also try to extract the clowns (not too easy) and put them in a separate small tank. Thanks for your feedbacks. I will keep adding on this thread if I see things changing. Eric

Thanks all of you. I will contact some of the vendors to inquire about prices. www.glasscages.com also seem an option. I have not compared yet their prices to the one of standard manufacturers. Eric

Hi there, I recently acquired an RBTA anemone and thought this would please my mated maroon clown fish. They have been in my tank for at least 1.5years without any anemone. Unfortunately upon acclimatization of the anemone, they rushed into it, with the male pulling one tentacle and the female somewhat hitting the envelop of the anemone as it retracted. I isolated the anemone in a plastic container in order to avoid the clowns interference. It reopened nicely and I decided after a day in the container to put it back in the tank. Of course the couple, again rushed in. I had hope that the night would have been quieter for the anemone but found it this morning, completely retracted (obviously trying to survive). I put it back into the plastic container. I am fearing for its survival if I put it back into the tank. Has anybody experienced such problem? and found a solution. I know the maroons can be fairly rough. I would appreciate any feedback, as I do need to find a solution because the anemone needs to be fed and I can not leave it in the plastic container for a long time. Thanks Eric PS: the container is a transparent usual food container in which I have drilled small holes. It is wedged in between the glass and a rock.
