I recently let go of my saltwater tank and decided to go with cichlids. I like the color variety and the inexpensive setup. I really don't have the room for a bigger tank, but I could manage to find the room if I find a good deal! Right now though, I want to try and work with what I have...

It looks to be a blue damsel, a very aggressive fish. But I can't quite tell due to the picture quality.

Actually, I went with this.. Aquarium Filtration and Water Quality: Aqueon QuietFlow Power Filters And due to you showing me this site, I have somehow ended up with a bunch more stuff. :) Thanks for all your help!

Power Filter: Bio System Power Filter & Surface Skimmer from Foster & Smith Aquatics Two birds with one stone here..?

Yeah, seems a bit small, but I do like the design and it definitely seems to be a good alternative to a HOB. I could just ditch the ceramic rings and stuff it with the media I want, right? The only problem is I can't quite tell how big the media compartment is. Urgh, this is a touch decision...

Amazon.com: PX-360: Finnex All-in-one Compact Canister Filter: Kitchen & Dining May do this? Ditch the sponge, add filter floss, carbon, etc etc. Maybe live rock as well? Can't find a cheap enough HOB :(

Thanks for the input carey :) Where would you suggest the placement? All I have is a leather coral however, I plan on slowly going full-reef. I really want to minimize my powerheads down to 1 (it's a 20g long tank.) I previously had an AC70 but the impeller quit working. I'm not a fan of their...

So, I have a 20g long, fully cycled and all that jazz. I'm looking to upgrade my filtration capacity as well as powerheads. I currently have a 20g filter running chemi pure and one 425gph powerhead and one 160gph powerhead. I'm thinking about ditching the 425gph head. It's an aquaclear product...

I was just sitting here debating the usefulness of our current sumps. To begin with, the water is sent through carbon and prefilter pads, than back through display, so on, so forth. Now, I came up with an idea. What if one sump was removed, replaced with an actual tank, 3 baffles. Initially...

The skimmer is going to be pulling impurities that would convert to ammonia and so on, and so forth. You're prolonging the cycle. And as for filter media, that isn't going to sustain a SW tank, nor will it cycle. The filter media will turn into a nitrate factory. What you want to cycle the tank...

Excuse my dirty glass, just did a water change while watching my son... needless to say, he got bored and refused to let me finish cleaning! Anyway, I kinda have a problem with the rockscape. Considering how it's brick-wall esque, it's a bit limiting for coral placement. Towards the right side...

It's a T5 HO 30" light. It holds two 24w 22" bulbs. What combination should I go with? I'm thinking 10,000k and 420 acnitic, or 50/50. Unfortunately however, the store I purchased it from neglected to tell me I had T8s in my hand and that they do not sell T5s -_- Where can I pickup some good...

Same with us, but corporate is messing up my tanks by making us put all the same types of fish together, separating cuc from coral tanks, like sand sifters and algae eaters, all Tangs togeather and what not, so I'll have alot more work on my hands. Man, that sucks. Corporate just had me...

It's fully cycled, set up and running and currently houses roughly 12 snails (I believe half are nerite, the other half are nassarius) 1 turbo snail, 1 emerald crab, and 1 scooter blenny. I'm inclined to rehome the scooter blenny considering his dietary requirement, despite the fact he is...
