    my Tank is coming along. Got about 120 LBS of Fiji rock and some Toga branches... Today I got some rubble rock for the refugium with Macro algae... Next step is getting a light. Can't make up my mind. LED or T5. Any recomendations such as brand and stuff... Thanks
  7. I just got my 90 gallon running this past friday. I have also 30 gallon sump. I didn't buy my skimmer and light yet but I am planning to get a skimmer in about couple weeks. I got about 90 pounds of fiji rock and 80 lbs of live sand. The water still pretty cloudy can't see too much I am hoping in few days all the dust will settle down so I can move the rock around. Did you put rock or live sand on your sump? I have an energy efficient bulb on my sump but I didn't turn that on yet. how long did it take for the sand to settle down??
  8. I just went there yesterday for the first time and I must say that is a great Fish store!! The guys there are very professional and knowledgeble. I met two guys there and I forgot to get their names otherwise I would mention here. I just got my tank running so I am sure I will be going there often. Once I am new in the hobby I am trying to get to know the LFS around here and F & F is now on my List! BTW got some live rock yesterday and I can't wait for the dust to settle down so I can arrange the rocks. I just posted some pictures of my tank! Thanks, Sidney

    Second day after getting the tank running... Can't see anything yet... I am wondering when all the dust will settle down.
  12. Do you still working for Greg? He is going to set up my tank soon!
  13. A little update: Like I said before i am not very handy so I got this guy from a LFS to set up for me a custom made refugium sump . He is working on a 30 gallon sump and I also got some items such as heater, Rio pump, live sand, salt. I still need to buy a skimmer and light,powerhead... and the list goes on... hopefully i will have my tank fully running in the next couple months.. thanks for all the info and help
  14. Thanks everyone for all the information! I am going to get the membership for sure. I got a book this week (the salt water Aquarium Handbook by George Blasiola) hope has good info... I am going to have somebody from a local fish store give me a quote for a sump. He believes a 30 gallon sump under my tank would be nice and he could build one with skimmer. As far as the power head goes I heard The Koralia ones are pretty good but a little pricey ( not outrageous) and I am thinking about buying 2 to have a nice water agitation.. One lady from a local store also said something interesting about the heater. She has on her tank 2 heaters that combine supplies enough heat for her tank just in case the heater dies. What you guys think about that? I love the idea of saving money with the electric bill if I would go with LED light but it looks like most of the people I talk to believes that LED light didn't prove for themselves yet and for this reason they are still lots of T5 lighting fans. I want to set up a Reef tank btw. Is there a brand of T5 that you guys like the best? Btw I live in Manassas. You all have a great weekend.
  15. New to this hobby and I need help plz !! I got a 90 Gallon tank reef ready with corner overflow plus a stand. I would like to have this tank running soon but there are so many different opinions about pretty much everything on this world that makes me more and more confused! I understand that my next step will be picking a sump system. What would you guys recommend for a 90 gallon? how many power head should I install? Lightning? anyways I think I need help with everything.... srry.... Hope somebody can guide me and help me finding all that I need to get my tank running... Thanks a lot to you all !
