lockrookie's 180g (build #3)

[lockrookie]

frommy understanding the startup kit is a one time use thing i couldbe wrong but at 60 bucks a shot al im usng itis once i may try other products later but ths faritseems tobe doing its thing


i just wish my #$%^ skimmer would dial in and stop spewing micro bubbles this is why i havent ceaned thoroughly in a couple years .. takes forever to settle down

$60
I like my cheap bottles of Stability
Like I said, I have no idea what Probidio does, but anything I've ever added to Freshwater never had any effect past NO3, so I'll stick to the simple stuff ...

You know that your skimmer will settle down soon
C'mon, you can't tell me you've never had one not react well to a tank change

[gregzz4]

So, no creaky floors and such ?
Joist deflection and all that ?

Again, a little jealousy here

Man, I could put a larger tank upstairs, but after seeing Bblinks's 300DD in person, I just don't see me doing ANY upgrade that my upper floor will handle

ive had this skimmer for a long time it has been a long time since it has had a vinegar bath. let alone left the sump. it was full of critters. lol i shoulda took a pic now its new again and hating it. and my skimmer in my 50 seemed to setle faster. time will tell

no no creaky floors i even bounced around a bit and all seems ok hardly a ripple..well this is my last upgrade as such next project is frag tank two levels one for incoming frags one for outgoing but thats next years project

no reason to be jealous when your abe to you will get your dream tank... this still isntmy dream tank but its as cose as il get for now.. retirement years maybe ill get what i hope for.

so far im impressed with the prodibio no real spike other than that .5 that showed up everyone seems happy and cruzin. now i cant wait to add more fishes and critters. but i will wait at least a month before introducing anything other than a few snails and crabs. so i realy should think about stock list and compatabilities. i just can never decide so many choices.

Do NOT get a red coris wrasse. This fish is making me hate my tank. I need to catch it and get it out.....otherwise...... What are you thinking for fish?
