And unfortunately, I do not think they will hold them for me, but I will find out for sure.

I 100% agree; not only are they an expensive fish to risk, but also a very beautiful one. There is one in particular with a little bit of darker markings mixed in with the light, bright blue, and he is truly beautiful -- if he is still there the next time I go in I will have a hard time...

So, I have been fishless cycling my tank for a while now (a few weeks to a month, haven't really kept track of dates) and am done cycling and am ready to add fish, or so I thought. For one reason or another, I put my aquascaping off and off, and am at that point where my water is ready for...

Probably going to pick up a new 55 Gallon tomorrow; it is a slightly smaller size than I was planning, but the deal may be too good to pass up. This, of course, completely changes everything lol. So, I ask; stocking suggestions and ideas, anyone? I kind of want to go with predominantly New...

Anybody? I really don't know much about Reverse Osmosis Filters, so any input is greatly, greatly appreciated. I can't tell if this is a good deal or if I am being ripped off. All I know is that with the poor tap water quality I am exposed to at the new apartment I am going to need one whether I...

Trying to find some equipment for some new setups I am working on in the new apartment; have only found maybe one or two RO Units so far in the last week or so. This one is going for a 100 dollars: 60 gpd Max Hi S R.O. Unit, R.O./Water Purification | PetSolutions Good or bad deal? Should I...

You didn't say some species, though, you said most. A few species reaching 6" is a little different than most Damsels reaching 8"+.

Thank you very much for the link, and sorry for posting another thread on the same subject; I browse through the forum daily, but for some reason or another I seem to have missed that thread :)

In everybody's experience, what is the best test kit? I have used API in the past, but I have heard that Salifert and Instant Ocean test kits are superior. Is there really a noticeable difference in accuracy? And does this difference in accuracy come with a substantial difference in price as...

I just got a 29 Gallon Saltwater from a friend and it came with a MarineLand Canister Filter; H.O.T Magnum Pro rated for 55 Gallons; however, it did not come with a Protein Skimmer, so I am now in the proccess of looking for one. How important are they? I'd imagine this may or may not depend...

Inherited a 29 Gallon Saltwater FOWLR; currently houses Banded Coral Shrimp, Peppermint Shrimp, Two Yellow-Tail Damsels, a few snails and hermit crabs, a tiny feather duster and several, several pounds of Live Rock (I don't know an exact number; I think I was told sixty, but that seems a little...

Thanks everybody so much for your feedback! I have read about Acrylic tanks being used over the years, but this is my first adventure in buying a bigger tank, so all of the information is very, very helpful at this point :). Something I have also kind of been wondering about; as much as the...

Hey guys; I was looking at tanks today and found a few used tanks that caught my eye. At one of the places that sells used tanks I found they sell a lot of tanks a dollar per gallon; this resulted in me finding a 75 glass for $75, a 150 glass for $150 dollars, a 75 Acrylic for $75 dollars, and a...

Just talked to a guy on Craigslist about a 120 Gal and stand for $220; guy needs the tank out of his house and is willing to let go of it for such a low price so long as we can get it out of there. Does anyone have any experience getting tanks via Craigslist? The tank is still up and running...

Hey guys; right now I have a 10 gal and a 29 gal concurrently, however, after becoming a little more financially secure, I am about to take the step up to a slightly larger aquarium, ideally in the shape of a 55 or a 75 gallon tank. After shopping today I found some pretty okay deals on 55...
