Thanks for the recomendations, ive had a look at the reef octopus 110, its rated for a 500L tank where mine is 300L including the sump, will this skimmer be okay or should i look for a smaller one?

Hi, I am setting up a 180 litre reef tank with a 120 litre sump and was wondering what protein skimmer i should get? Considering good value for money, the cheaper the better. Thanks, Jack Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Hi guys Im going to start a 180 litre reef tank and was wondering what lights i should get? For example fresh water have a guide from power(W) to water(L) and i was wondering if there was anything similar for a reef tank. Cheers, Jack Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Okay haha, maybe i re-evaluate my clean up crew. Thanks again Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Okay, thanks for help. I was more thinking hermit crabs, are they compatible for a reef? i was going to throw in a few extra shells so they dont compete with the snails as they grow Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Hi guys, Im going to set up a reef tank (112), i have quite a bit of fw experience which i think will help. But i wanted to know people's opinions on what substrate is best for beginners. I would like to have a good clean up crew, with crabs so some sort of substrate is essential. Thanks, Jack...

Theres plenty of room for them to hid, id say there guppy fry. Try and raise then see. But it wont be the gourami as they need a bubble nest that they create on the surface of the water. Im to to sure on the tetra, but im pretty sure theyll need certain requirements were as guppys will breed...

What might of happened, is the tank planted, lots of decorations etc? If so its highly likely that the 3 other fry you have found have been hiding until they grow confident and strong enough to leave the hiding spots, most likely for scarps of food. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

It does sound like hex actually as, i did notice he was getting rather thin. Hmm, hopefully he has pulled through the night and make a start for a recovery Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I dont think its swim bladder, as they float. I think, from previous experience with gold fish Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice
