[zman]

Ok I can look in the book and find pet shops but that don't tell me what I want to know


Is there is a Good place to get saltwater stuff in columbus?

[V8hunter]

jacks aquarium up on morse road and aquarium adventure right next to old navy on sawmill - those will be your best bet

[Rally Red Evo]

Byerly's on 5th has some of the best prices.

Aquarium adventure's is expensive unless they have a sale.

[zman]

What i'm looking for is like 30-75 pounds of live rock
at a good price

[V8hunter]

live rock u are gonna pay out of your ass -- at least 6 bux a pound i think is what they told us last friday when i was up there (jacks aquarium)

[zman]

I can get fugi at 4.50 a pound and cheaper if I buy like 50 pounds (like 4.00 a pound) at aquatic speciaties (down in my area)

[Jarod]

[zman]

my second one................this one is only a 50 :(...............my last one was a 200 :headbang

[Jarod]

they are nice but i like to be able to see my fish. I have a 55 gal saltwater with one fish in it now becaus i am lazy and havent done anything to it for a month, but it used to be beautifull. petland off hamilton has a reef tank that i love.

[zman]

you got pics of your tank?

[Jarod]

it looks awful, algae all over and needs cleaned everywhere. I should have taken some when it was nice. I plan on either workin on it this weekend or maybe just lettin it all go. just too much for me right now to take car off.

[zman]

[zman]

[dewman0012]

i did the fish thing for awhile, but being lazy kills you, i swear my fish died of cancer. 10 gallon tanks owns me :confused

[Rally Red Evo]

I have a 75G and 55G freshwater. The 75 I have to change 30 gallons of water every 4 days just to keep the nitrate down. The 55 I change 20 gallons weekly. I like them, so it does not bother me.

[zman]

I don't ever doing a water change in my 200

and I don't plan on doing any on this 50 either

Just have to have a good filter setup


I will be runnig a 10 gallon sump and a 10 gallon refuge

[TRBOCHK]

Jarod.. you aren't lazy.. you have a 8 month pregnant fiance.. thats your problem. :D

[Rally Red Evo]

Never had saltwater, how do you remove nitrate without water changes? In fresh, only way to remove nitrate is water changes.

[zman]

active carbon

[Jarod]

Jarod.. you aren't lazy.. you have a 8 month pregnant fiance.. thats your problem. :D

That makes me lazy in other areas :D

[Jarod]

if you feel like gettin rid of it let me know

If you are interested in it man you can come take a look and make me an offer. It wont hurt my feelings any to get rid of it.

This is where I use to buy a lot of my salt water supplies. They had a great assortment of fish and unusual things back in the day.

Here's my little story about obtaining "live rock". I went to Myrtle Beach to visit my mother one year and decided to pick up a bunch of rocks, coral type rocks along the shore line to file my fish tank (I had a 200 gallon and a 90 gallon at the time) and I brought them home in buckets loaded to the rim. After arranging them in the tank...several weeks later I started noticing all these little fan worms forming on the rocks....Before long, it was a full blown coral reef with soft coral and fan worms everywhere. At the time I decided to sell the tank...I sold it as a tank and all deal....I was told I had more than a few thousand of dollars worth of live rock easily. It was unbelievable how they multiplied so quickly.

If you ever get a chance to vacation along the beach, try picking up some of the rocks you see...you might be amazed at what surprizes you actually come home with.

Thats cool i dident know so many of you were in to fish stuff..im getting my 29 gal today :) weeeee no more 10 gal for me.. i wont do saltwater because its way to expensive and way to much up keep.. but other than that my 14 fish will have a happy new home here in a few days

[jallen100]

I had a 55 gal freshwater for a few years. I loved it at first but the maintenance just got to be to much. It sprunk a little leak this winter and I had to get rid of it. It kinda sucked but I am glad it is gone now. I still love aquariums but dont miss the work.

[1lowDSM]

yeh i woudll bet a 55 would be some work.. my 29 is all set up right now im so pumped!

[drew93tsi]

[1lowDSM]

[drew93tsi]
