Re: "Tanked"
I think what they do is that since the tanks need to be maintained by them if they find dead fish in there they just take em out and add in new ones also how they get the tank cycled fish-cycle. I came up with this idea when they made a tank with sharks in it and they said they would re-home them when they got to big for the tank which was going to be quick since there were like 6 sharks in a 2000g tank. Or I at least hope that they do something like that, I believe I read somewhere that the starting price for these custom tanks is in the 20 grand.
I remember a few of the tanks on ebay the record player 1 and the phone booth.

Re: "Tanked"
Garbage tanks IMHO. What is the point of high design if it is not supportable? They should be stocked w/battery-powered fish.

The bacteria you need is dead, not alive. But you are being charged for sand with bacteria to help with your tank.Gunner wrote:what is the issue with "live sand"puffykid wrote:I like the tank designs but I cringe every time I hear them mention adding in "live sand" to the tanks during set up.
But, that's just for the sand in the bag stuff.

Re: "Tanked"
They use their own product to cycle their tanks. Just like tetra safe start I guess

Re: "Tanked"
Cycle bacteria preps are not all the same. Some products work, others do not. All claim that they work, but some are truthful, others lie. What else is new?

Re: "Tanked"
I don't like that SHOW, it makes a aquarium keeping look that simple and almost the whole background is feak, i like real corals.
