Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / September 2003

I've been reading about buildingt agrocrete rocks. Obviously there are a
lot of issues, like appropriate curing, but has anyone here actually
done this?  I like the idea of being able to design an aquascape with
caves.  you can do it with real rock, but it would be significantly

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to know if anyone here has stop performing water changes

started my tank up more than three years ago, I did 25% weekly

Had a reef tank many years back, sold when I moved.  I am going to
start up a new one, 75 gal.  I need to order enough Fiji to do this
tank, can someone recommend a quality place I can order this much Fiji

I just visited a friends scuba shop and his 150G reef was a mess.  Coral

Can anyone recommend a good external pump?
I've had nothing but trouble with my RIO 2100 and have read a lot of similar
complaints on the mag drives.  There doesn't seem to be a good submersible
pump.  Anyone disagree?

Does anyone have a good source for an online supplier of acrylics and
supplies.
TIA

Can someone point me in the direction of an article that explains the
logistics of a chiller?
I dont mean how it works from a refrigeration standpoint, I've got that
covered.

These two corals must sell now to make room for others.  $35 each.
I took two images of each, to give you a close up as well as a perspective
shot.  Both are mounted on LR, and have been in my tank for well over a year.
Many of you have my Red Mushrooms, and know how well they do.  ...
