Wow, just starting! My tanks been running for about a week. Granted I don't have live rocks but I do have live sand. Guess we'll keep cycling. I thought it'd be farther along than this.

Here are my test results for today. I went out and bought a test but just to be sure I took a sample to my LFS and got the same results. Where is my tank at roughly does anyone know? Ammonia: .5ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: is really hard to read it doesn't look like 5.0 but it's not quite at 0...

I have a 30 gallon and right now all I have is lace rock on the bottom and some fake decorations. I plan on getting 4-5 fish and then whatever I use to clean the tank. I'm not experienced enough to add coral but if I did I would definetely upgrade to a 55 gallon or larger for something like...

When our tank gets cycled we are starting to consider what fish we would like. I definetely want to get a pair of clownfish. I heard that yellow tailed blue damsels are really hardy fish as well but I hear from some people they will get along ok with clownfish and some say once they get...

I still stick my hands in there for tank cleaning and when I replace the plants that have become uprooted. They don't bother me much. Their more scared of me than I am of them. Although I do take precautions like giving them a full meal with something good like frozen beef hearts before I do...

Their really cool fish. When I got them they were the size of a dime they were really small. I think that they are easy to take care of myself. It's just regular tank maintence really to me. They were in a 30 gallon but we upgraded to a 75. We were going to turn the 75 into a saltwater but...

piranhas are illegal in a lot of states so sometimes their cousins, the pacu, are sold under the piranha name. The pacu's get humungous though piranhas can get to be about 12 inches or so, depending on the species. They are really messy though because they eat lots of frozen, foods and leave...

Thanks for the welcome. I rinsed the gravel really well before putting it in the tank. I took the gravel out, for that reason, before putting in the sand. What I meant was the water behind the filter looked exactly like what the water looked like after we added the sand. The filter cartridge...

Does anyone have any piranhas? I have a pair of red bellied piranhas in a 75 gallon tank. Their about 5 inches long right now but are still young and are still growing we think.

I just set my 30 gallon saltwater tank up 2 nights ago. I had gravel in there but then got the live rock and added that. Well the tank was extremely cloudy and then settled down fairly quickly (in about 8 hours). Well today the filter was removed (I don't know the details I was at work) and...
