The canister filters you can use for water movement and they are great for running carbon or phospate removing agents. I have tried in the past to use them for water movement and just fill the filter with live rock rubble - it ends up being a decent cryptic filter - just don't use any floss or sponges.

you can come over and look at my tank if you want. just give me a pm. i have what most would call a full blown reef. be more than happy to show you and answer any questions you might have on starting salt water.

Thanks for the offer Dan... I may take you up on that. Right now I'm looking a coordinating all of this... It's going to be difficult to move the 58 gallon tank that houses my current marine fish (I've got to move it to lay down the new flooring in the home) and then empty out the 125 gallon tank and set it up for salt... then it has to cycle so I can move the fish from the 58 gallon... :shock: I have a feeling this is going to be a LOONGGG process... I'll continue to ask questions as I go.

Thanks again, I'm off to the stores and such to check out their setup(s) and I will consider attending the next meeting.

Kevin,

You may be able to find a few people to babysit your fish while you are doing the remodeling. Of course that would depend on what they are. It may be hard to get them back out again.

I'd go here www.cichlidtrader.com to sell your tanks and Cichlids. There are a lot of Cichlid hobbiest that visit this site all the time & it's state wide...

Hope this helps.

Cichlidtrader is a great site to sell your fish. I traded all of my Cichlids into a lfs and used the credit to get equipment for my SW system. You are welcome to check out my system anytime you like.

Just for info purposes, wkopplins setup is awsome. Something I'd really like to do once we move.
