I've been to global alot and went like a weeks ago. James a good guy and is good in the salt water game still. Never been to fjw and as for petcity it's gotten better the. What it use to be several years ago but I rarely get livestock. I usually just get corals or liverock

there is also pet city of 45 and 1960. i been there but only get rocks, fish to high price and dont carry anything nice. lots of SW fish

Dude, that place is ridiculously priced for the service and lack of knowledge of the employees. It's really hard to judge any saltwater pet place, based on this place. Another "location is key to success" story right here. They wouldn't even be around if they didn't have that location.

As far as SW equipment is concerned. I could convert "any" freshwater tank into salt. It easy. The dosing and coral keeping gets a little hairy, but it's worth it in the end. You can't beat the coloration. I like FW, but I love reefs.

FJW is worth the trip, bro. Seriously.

+10,000,000 for Dennis at FJW. His saltwater stock is the best, cleanest tanks, great fish and an awesome guy. It is well worth the trip if you have a saltwater tank. He is off Mangum and 290, down Mangum a mile or 2.

B&B is OK but I wasn't really impressed with their tanks (I'm pretty picky with my saltwater stuff). Freshwater stuff looked ok though.

It really makes me happy to read stuff like this. Dennis is a good friend and I "kind-of" talked him into the business switch. LOL!

Oh cool and it's not that bad of a drive either. I'll check him out saturday then

what do i need to make a 29 SW or a 10

[Totenkampf]

i wish whomever owns blue reef now over by deerbrook mall would get it together, they had good selection and prices before and the owners were pretty knowledgable. i forgot about pet city, they use to be good for exotics a few years back.

It's actually not there anymore. I heard whoever isn't going to be reopening bluereef or anything. Speaking of which, there is a new lil store (forgot the name) down 1960 heading towards atacocita. Its in the same strip at magic needle.

Good filter, liverock, livesand and a good powerhead and you're practically good to go for a start. If you wanna get technical you could get a hob overflow and a sump with a small skimmer.

[R_sustaita]

ok i jsut need filter. i dont have a filter for the extra 29. but i have 2 power heads i am selling right now. i need sand and rock. and what else?

[ometh]

And that's pretty much it for now. You just gotta let it cycle. People have different opinions to how long to let the tank cycle. I personally waited 4 months to put any pricy fish in my tanks. For the first few months i just dropped in some green chromis. Btw for salt I'd go with instant ocean It's moderately avalible at every pet store.

Also if you're going to do a 10 or the 29 and you don't want to do the under tank fuge sump you could always do a ac 110 fuge mod. Pretty easy and it helps in the long run.

[R_sustaita]

i think ill wait some more lol. 4 months with no fish lol. boring tank. so if i add corals then i need the other crap right

[ometh]

Prettym much. The fuge just help with nitrate export and a refuge for micro fauna

[ometh]

So I'd advise to get the fuge regardless of the tank being fowlr or reef
