I called the place and the lady said the have done really nice 30 gallon ones with lids and handles that were used for lemon juice for $23 so that's what I'm going to go with.
Should be good to go.
I'm way less advanced.
As @fishguy242 said, pickle buckets/IO buckets for me!

@Katrina71 did you even sleep last night? I see your posts on other threads at all hours last night and first thing this morning on this thread!
 
Although I started this thread, I couldn't do anything without all of you on here.
This hobby is not only about reefing but mostly, for me anyways, also getting through each day and all the support we give each other along the way.
You are all awesome!
I changed the lighting on the little tank today.

I feel the same way.
 
I only changed 15 gallons today.
I'm tired and I utilize the dump and pour method from 1988. :) ;)
I'll post the test results later.
I have all 5 tanks to do today, one upstairs so I'm already worn out.
Might go to LFS today!!:)
 
I haven't been here long but you guys are great and have been so helpful! Glad I stumbled across this thread to meet all of you!
You are a huge part of our group now and I look forward to you every day!

The answer to should I go to the LFS is always yes...
 
How do you get it to grow on the wall?
I actually just put a piece near the wall and it attached by itself.
Like @kevgib67 said that is effective too.
It attaches with a purple mat that the polyps grow out of.

I must try it as I love the way it looks!
