I doubt it... It will probably just introduce nitrate, which won't feed any bacteria. I'm not 100 percent sure though.

So, somwhere in the far future (atleast a year), I'm going to be setting up a much larger tank than my current 75 G display, and I'm planning on a 200G biotope. I have a few questions for you! First off, I'm torn between Biotopes, either a red sea reef or a hawaiian Reef, which one would you do...

I was thinking it was from such a low salinity since the beginning. Try raising it back up slowly.

It appears to be an anemone, closely related to aiptasia. I would say get some Aiptasia-X and treat it.

I like Dante. Because dante is not only a demon slayer, but the coolest and most Bamf character to ever. (Not the best, but the coolest.) And theres no cooler ocellaris than a black ocellaris! DANTE!

Sorry Nohika :P I should probably start checking genders before I post! XD

Don't be discouraged! After this, the hard part is over. I'm glad you had the courage to try and do what is right for tour fish. If your mom thinks were liars, loom at tank pictures of those of us who try to be humane. They are more Beautiful and lively than burying you could ever achieve...

Well, IMO your having fun but not taking care of the fish. Were not just sucking this stuff out of our thumbs. The clown might survive. Maybe even probably. But he WILL have stunted growth, he WILL have gill scarring, and He WILL have poor quality of life. Were not ragging on you, were telling...

It would be much better and quicker if you put your tetras in your mothers 29 temporarily and start a fishless cycle. I can't link you to the very helpful article on My phone, I hope someone else can step in and do so. Anyway, if you do thy you won't be damaging your fish and the cycle can take...

So, after a converstion with a man named Bob, I have learned that the fish are five weeks into quarantine and will need to be quarantined about three more. That's okay though, gives me more time to cycle the tank, get it ready for them, establish cultures, etc. Although I don't expect there to...

Oh... There's a thread for that :P I think it's under the general section of the site!

I'm sorry, I fail to see the humour.

Local fish store

Certainly cheaper than buying in stores or online dealerships, but I don't think it's the best craigslist type deal you could find

Oh, okay. Thanks X :)

Never ever do what the LFS says! The rule is usually do the opposite of what they say!

You don't need any beneficial bacteria after your tank is cycled. In fact, it usually doesn't even help when your cycling, but some people claim it helps the cycle go faster.

I'd say it'd be enough only for low plants, not medium.

You should never, ever get any sort of fish that doesn't fit in your tank at adult size with plans of getting rid of it or upgrading later, IMO.

Im concerned that when the clownfish get's bigger that that tank might not be quite big enough for it. I'm not sure, but I've never heard of a clown (one clown) in anything lower than a ten, and I think in small amounts of water like those, four gallons can make a big difference. Anyone else...

I think an obvious problem is that you have nitrates at 20 ppm. I think that is no condition for a tank with an anemone in it to be in.

You definitely can use the honest approach. My LFS gives nothing but honest advice. Some hometown not-big-chains do take that approach. (of course, I'm not advocating doing what ANY LFS says blindly)

I'm from louisville. I'm mostly a reef aquarium type person, but I have a tiny ten gallon tank thats planted :P

Always, always, always pwc. If anything is out of whack, PWC is your first answer :D

Did another test cause I'm so eager :P Appears I'm edging up towards twenty ppm of nitrate. Also, I looked in and I'm seeing some cool stuff in my tank already, mostly feather dusters. There in all different colors, and one is a deep, deep red thats really beautiful. To bad its so small right now.
