Will be setting up a new tank soon, my first one with LR. Do I need to cycle the tank before I add the LR or can I throw it in from the beginning?

Well I have found lots of connflicting information on these guys, and want to clear up the muddy water. :? I've read that they get along fine with others of their kind in their tank, and I've read that they don't. Also have read that they grow to 4", and that they grown to 9.5". And that they...

Ok, I'm going to be setting up a 55 gal. Right now the only thing I'm really planning on having is a pair of Percula clowns, and also a pair of skunk cleaner shrimp. For the time being I will be running the tank with a sandman HOB filter, and will have a minimal amount of LR in the tank...

All right I'm going to be setting up a new 55 gal. Due to the fact that I did about what every pet store will tell you to do last time, and cycled my tank with stupid damsels, I'm looking for advice on a better way. Read the aritcle about starting the tank with shrimp from the grocery store...

I need to build my own hood for my tank as it is not a standard depth. I'm going to have to pieces of glass cut. I need to find a place where I can order that black hinge piece that sticks to your glass, and the plasic piece that goes in back so you can cut out for filters, etc. My "cool" LFS...

Yay, Just got my first RO/DI unit (5 stage). My question is how do I know when it is time for new filters and where can I find them? This unit I found on ebay, due to not having deep pockets, and the place the seller got it from is no longer in business to get any supplies from. Also I've...

If you put a small amount of LR in your take would the organisms ever adventure to other rocks that were placed near it? I'm sure it would take quite a while if they did. I was just curious if you can seed other rocks with a smaller one.

Can you keep any types of shrimp in a FO tank. And if so what special stuff do they require?

What's the difference between a plain RO unit, and an RO/DI? Maybe if I knew what the letters "DI" stood for I would be able to figure it out myself. Looking into purchasing one. Are there any prefered brands out there? Any to stay away from? TIA

Looking for a good test kit. I have a nitrate kit and ammonia test right now. Would like to be able to monitor the other elements in my water. Who makes a good all in one test kit?

Getting ready to set up a new QT tank. (getting a pair of ocellaris clowns.) I'm going to use my old 20 that i just rid of freshwater fish. Wondering if the Whisper filter will work all right for the QT process? I don't anticipate that it should be a problem for a few short weeks, but then...

I'll be moving my tank to my house, finally!! (it's been at my parents due to space issues.) I would like to add some new stock at that time. First wondering if that is a good idea to do after a big move, and changing out most of the water. Second I have a flame angle so I figured if I added...

I've had a flame angle in my tank for probably about 2 months and he is doing great. I was just wondering if I'm getting him all the healthy stuff he needs. There is no LR in my tank, but plenty of algae growing on rocks. I'm also feeding spirulana flakes, freeze dried brine shrimp, "Sally's...

just got a flame angle. i've read that he is a good community fish. i was wondering of any special needs he may have. read today that they need live rock. is this true? since i don't have LR in my tank will he still do all right. I have several other rock pieces he seems to like. i forget...

So i have set up and 80 gal. SW tank. I cylced it with a couple of damsels which took a while, but everything is going well. I decided to add a few "cooler" fish to the tank, and brought home a yellow tang, and a gold headed sleeper goby. My question comes with the base I used for the tank...

I have an 80 gal. homemade tank that is set up for saltwater. I plan to only have fish only until I get more experienced with saltwater systems. I currently have a Domino Damsel, and a Blue Chromsis Damsel in the tank. The Domino is extremely agressive, and has killed everthing but the other...
