[quote="Reefplanet"]lol cool i dont have an RODI system ...i will collect some rain water and experiment with it.
Honda maybe yuh could trade it by raj for corals or sell it. maybe some petshop might buy it.[/quote]
thats just a fight down. Most times just like some people they want it for next to nothing. Its only cause i aint get the time to carry it by raj, its not sold. And actually alot of people seeing the juveniles by him that still has the orange face and asking if he cant get some all black ones. I just thought someone might of been interested in it on tuner. No love lost.

They must be rare or something ..i would have bought it but i already have an ocellaris and idk if to big , aggressive clowns will be good in my small tank. I see raj have white clowns to they real cool looking. Ent it had somebody here that was looking for all black clowns?

They really sweet though.

The tank is very impressive

[Reefplanet]

i tested the rain water:

pH= 6.0 can fix that with pH buffer.
ammonia= 0
nitrites= 0
nitrates= 0

what you guys think constructive criticism appreciated

[Kasey]

What constructive criticism u want dude? From the pics, it looks cut and dry - clean as a whistle. If u had put up the build pics, then one may have been able to make some comments. But as I said, it looks flawless from here. Good job, you selling it?.

How much did it cost, and how much would you charge to do that for someone?

[Reefplanet]

I want a wooden tank stand i have a metal stand but it have not much support underneath,you could see all the cords and the sump and saltwater and metal do go good together..ah set a rust!

[Kasey]

So yuh wa woodlice from wood, and swells from MDF?

Once you treat the wood you wont have any issues. There are specific coating designed to be applied on wood that can take water.
Wood like teak doesnt need anything, but you can use pitch pine.

Be careful with this. While the rain is falling it picks up contaminates from the air that you may not be able to test for. What's the TDS of the water you collected? Also if you are collecting the water from the roof, the rain water could be picking up heavy metals. Some of which are deadly for a reef (coral and inverts) and will bind to your live rock, which in turn will leach over time in your aquarium.

Never disaggreed with that, but the same argument can be made for steel. With the right treatment, steel is by far the most durable material to make a stand with (once you know what ur doing).

idk what is the TDS but i got a lot of bad stuff about rainwater.

For long term, sand blast it and apply a good zinc primer followed by an epoxy coating, preferably a marine grade. One done correct, you can get a good 10yrs+. Steel is allot more expensive. I did mine in wood due to cosmetic reasons to blend in with the stuff in my library. I did the aquarium stand and cabinets and then built the computer desk and other stuff to match....not the other way around.......lol

Its times like this i wish santa clause owned a Fish store..........

[Don Dada]

hey guys does anyone know who sells fishes and sets up fresh water aquariums. need to get a 4ft aquarium with stand and all the needed fixtures (fishes also). thanks

[HondaB20B]

buying a tank and setting it up yourself will save you tons of money.
But you can check santoo or even donny from hydroquatics

Where did the petshop from by Twin Walls in Gulf View move to?

[Gshock]

^^ yes i did... i owned a couple aswell...
longg time ago
bought them from this guy who was in trincity mall before it was expanded..
think lucky was his name... dunno what happened to him real kool fella... always used to link me with good prices
And he was one of the first ppl i saw with salt water setups lion fish and banded bamboo sharks etc

Lucky migrated to the US and sold the petshop to a guy living in Trincity....he got those Discus from a guy in San-fernando ...he took me there once .. I tried several times to find the place since no luck.

4) One upsidedown catfish

Yeah I am running a Reef Keeper Elite. It turns on and off my halides, dims my T5's for dawn dusk, controls the moonlights in tune with actual moon phase. Controls calcium reactor, pumps, skimmer, vodka dosing, fans, ATO and reports on PH, Temp etc. The best part is I can log on from anywhere and get the status of anything on it and it also sends emails if something is going wrong. Here are some pics of my equipment and a full tank shot.

had to bump this.................
