Australian here. Lots of people all over the world on here

Yeah I'd love to go the dwarf cichlids but the problem I'm really having with this tank is it sits about 10 feet above the ground. Sorry should have mentioned that before. So I really need to keep it stocked with larger fish. I can't do anything about how high up the tanks sit. All 3 of these...

yeah angelfish are a must, the rainbows is something i wouldn't have thought of hmmm. cheers guys

Hey guys me and a friend are in charge of a new fish section at a lfs in Australia. We have a 9x2x2 planted tank we are building and we are looking for suggestions of the live stock to place in them. Filtration is a 5x2x2 sump. Plants are lowlight anubias and java. Condition is it has to be...

I resent that. I work at a Lfs and I always try to teach people how to do a fishless cycle. Not all of us are bad :)... Just the majority.

Well i've been into fishing (angling) for aslong as i can remember i always loved watching fish swim through the water and one afternoon i decided to set up a tank. well that spiralled out of control to 7 tanks running at one point, varying from simple betta set ups to a coral probagation...

I love what I could see of your rock work mate. Would you mind uploading a full tank shot

I agree they shouldn't be sold to the general public. But I've seen them kept in absolutely huge tanks and indoor ponds happily. Although these tanks measured into the 800 gallon plus range. A license to keep these monsters should be implemented in my opinion.

Well to start off I had been shopping at this store for roughly 3 years. Great relationship with the owner and employees they know I'm a bit obsessive and picky with my fish so they tell me to net and bag my own. Works great for me I get the exact one I want. Works for them they know I come back...

I'm going throw a very similar problem in my freshwater tank except no ammo lock. Check to make sure your filters are flowing mine wasn't and needed a quick fix up.

Have you thought of lighting? And I agree small reefs are not the best for beginners but with dedication they are completely possible. Research every fish and invert you intend to put in the tank and do your best not to impulse buy. Keep the bio load as light as possible

The coral beauty. In the year + never touched the coral, he's currently swimming in an sps reef.

Sadly with work and study in the new year 97 hours combined. I've taken down my reef and donated livestock to friends who have the resources to take it. I couldn't bare to watch the tank suffer as I doubt I would have had time to maintain it.

If you are set on it though 7.8 gallons would be horrible for anything but dwarf seahorses Maybe look in your local area for a marine fish keepers club. Someone there would be able to assist you in your endeavor. Your on the right step though I'm sure everyone here has a mistake that could have...

Your sand may not be perfectly white but maybe look at in from a different view. Neithers the oceans what you've got is just all manner of life down to the tiny creatures in the sand. Just a little Eco system Not to useful just hoping that maybe if you looked at it from a different perspective...

If there was no copper yea you will be ok mate. Just keep the copper in mind and if I was you id just buy a lonely frag and see how it goes first.

I'm unsure whether it would be possible but maybe fit an algae turf scrubber somewhere

To my knowledge copper will make your rock and sand dangerous to inverts and coral permanently. The rock absorbs the copper and slowly leaches out. One of the reasons I recommend avoiding secondhand live rock.

If you have a Test kit and some patience go for it. My planted tank is dirt and is easily my most successful tank to date. No co2 just dirt and high light. Pretty easy to do. Put dirt in cover with substrate. I do suggest putting the pfs around the borders. And be very careful when adding...

Oh and to answer to the person above me. The temperature of the water around there punch is what gives them the ability you are right the punch alone cannot do it there's not alot of force. But there's other factors.

Yes they have the ability to break glass. And a full grown has the same power as a bullet. But there punches power isn't from the punch itself. There mandibles move so fast and create so much friction that it boils the water. The sound isn't the impact the frequency of impact noise is beyond...

Been fishing recreationally for aslong as I can remember got taught catch and release. What I found is I love watching them swim I remember sitting on the end of a jetty watching them for over an hour swim by feed. 3 years later I've got 5 tanks. Only one set up as a planted now was a 75 gallon...

Cycled and well established help alot Fine filter floss maybe. Do you have any livestock stirring the substrate?

No an auto top off will keep your tank with a constant amount of water in it. So whenever water evaporates below a certain point it is topped back up again. Edit: commonly used In reefs.

Corydoras would have to be my favorite. I just love watching them in large schools (20+) especially when you get different colouration's schooling together.
