Thanks!

Well, I guess it's all a matter of learning as we go... :)

Lets see...I have 3 PHs in my tank, but the heat problem was apparent before they went in. I "calibrated" my thermometer in cold water, then warm water, and it was accurate. I have a heater, but saw no reason to put it in just yet. I have a w/d, with bioballs (maybe where nitrate is coming from...

I have no heater in my tank-been an ongoing battle w/heat :x -it runs between 80-85 deg., can't figure it out to save my life :roll: fish are ok with it so far. I don't have delicate species, just 2 little ocellaris and a damsel. LR will come as money permits, as is the usual with these...

I'm not sure if the word "theme" is the right one-but I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere I could find out about setting up a Hawaiian "themed" tank-like what species (rock, fish, maybe inverts) Hawaiian in particular, that I can put into my tank. Thanks!

How does one go about lowering the pH on a FOWLR tank? I have a 72 gal. The parameters are: Amm-0mg/l Nitrite-<0.3mg/l pH 8.? (I think...the color is between 8.6 and 9.0 on the color card-I am using the Laborette Tetratest kit) KH is 9 I have 80 lbs LS, 5 lbs LR 2 small ocellaris clowns, and...

Thanks for the info! :D

I guess if it is no good, it can be sent back :?

In all the reading I have done, I have understood that when you select a fish, you have to look at the eyes, make sure it is eating well, not too skinny, etc. What about purchasing fish online? You can't see the actual fish-do you have to take the vendor's word that the fish you get will be...

I got my tank from a guy who had it for sale in the paper-needs a little work before I get it up and running, but nothing too difficult to overcome. I think I got a decent deal. I guess the main thing is to be patient, and do alot of research-makes things easier as you go along :D Plus, that...

Hello... I was just wondering...I am setting up a 70gal s/w FO tank...do I need a UV sterilizer, and if so, what size? Thanks :o

I think the 40w is probably the light that came w/the system to begin with. As far as pics go, I definately need to get a digital camera! All I have done w/ my tank is clean it up (work keeps *rudely* interrupting my playtime with my new toy :evil: ) The guy I bought the system from had...

Good Morning, Everybody! I have a question about lighting...I recently purchased a relatively new system (70 gal bowfront, wet/dry, protein skimmer UV sterilizer, various accessories) It is about 1-2 years old. It was set up for a reef tank, and professionally maintained (supposedly). My...

I just found this site today and I am in the process of setting up my tank-I have found just about all the answers to my questions here :) I am SO excited about getting started in this hobby-although I am very willing to take it slow. Anyway, I just wanted to say that you all are doing a...
