Oh ok, tomorrow I am going to pick up my 75g tank, 30g sump, and stand. Also going to buy 2x k4's a qo300, some sand and some dry rock.. Then its off to cycle!

Wont a 40-50% water change shock the system? Also, my plan this weekend, was to get about 50 lbs of dry rock, sand, 2x k4's QO3000 pump, and start the cycle. I was planning on just doing the shrimp, or getting 10 lbs of live rock to seed the rock. Not to sure yet. Im trying to save money until I...

Amazing read thanks!

Well I hope the fw people I met dont kill me! I am currently in the middle of breaking down my 45g freshwater planted tank, so that I can setup my new tank. My new tank is going to be a slow start up, and might not actually be set up for a couple of months. I am going to be getting a 75g tank i...

That is a good idea, but where is the fresh water being dripped from? Is it being de-chlorinated first? And the water from the sump just going outside I guess? (dont mean to hijack just curious :p)

105g a week, i wonder if it would be better to slowly do it throughout the week, almost like a leek on purpose.. and have something that slowly adds water that auto turns off after a certain point.. That would be a neat invention, an automatic water changer... one would make millions. Assuming...

I must say i can not wait for this to be stocked... soooooo excited! Also quick question, now some people do 50% water changes each week. Are you planning on doing this if so... how :-p, it seems crazy insane..to change out 125g of water every week..

I have a 45g tank, 36 long, 12 wide, and 24 height if that's right.

Was planning on getting.. FLORA-GLO Fluorescent Bulbs by Hagen - Lighting & Hoods - Fish - PetSmart but the 24" is only 20watts.. would it be better (and cheaper) to just go get a fluorescent tube light that is 24" and outputs around a ~100w? I have a 45g tank, thats 36" long.. I need to...

Yeah sorry, i think i meant 100w lol, not 1000 :-p. 1000 would prolly burn my fish alive.. Now what about ghost shrimp or red cherry shrimp, would they clean up the bottom?

yeah weird dream, also had some other random dreams :-p

So I dont how how it happened. But basically in my dream, fish came in plastic wrapped containers (kind of like toy cars come in, in that hard plastic). And for them to breath there was a tiny whole on the top that allowed air in but the water couldn't get out. I know it makes no sense, but...

If anyone has been following my journal you know i only have a 24" 17w light on my tank.. horrible i know. My tank is 36" long but only has a 24" light in the hood. If i can find a ~100w 24" light is that ok? Or should i go for a 36" since that's how big my tank is. Next clean up crew. Well I...

Thanks, if i had the proper lighting, a CO2 system and some timers it would look even better! :-p
