Okay i havent gotten another fish yet, but the one who was hiding before has completely dissapeared. I cant see him anywhere, and I even tried moving the other fish to the refugium to see if he came out with no luck. I'm just really worried about him. Is there any way I can get him to come out...

Okay, I guess I'll try getting another one. thanks for the advice!

Hi I just got 2 green chromis a few days ago, them being the only fish in the tank. At first, everything was fine but yesterday I noticed the smaller fish hiding in a dark corner of the tank. The next day, he is nowhere to be found. I suspect the other fish might be picking on him, but I don't...

Alright. thanks for the help everyone! I think I've got a good idea of what I'm going to buy. I'll start a new thread once I've bought all set up... Which might not be for a while. I think it'll be worth it though.

Would a 10 gallon sump be okay for 55g? I'm still deciding whether i want 75g or 55. 75 would be nice, but its a lot more expensive.

Oops again. Sorry I'm typing this on my phone and the buttons are all really close together. Anyways, I'll just have to research how to set up a sump because I have no idea :p

I probably wont have enough money to get one right Away, but I will as soon as possible. And i do have a 10g tank i could use as a sump, but i think it would be better to use that as a quarantine tank, right? But 10g tanks are pretty cheap so i could just get another one. I'll just have to

Oops.... Accidently pressed send. Anyways, I'm not sure whether they would be good quality or not. Plus the shipping is always expensive to Canada.

Theres a lot of cheap protein skimmers on ebay but I'm not

Yeah sounds like a 75 gallon would be better for me. But that means I have some more saving to do... What with the extra live rock and all. But I guess this way I'll be good to go for years to come and I won't be wanting to upgrade to a bigger tank. So if i were to get a skimmer for a 75gallon...

Okay thanks. So if I buy a protein skimmer would i need a different kind of filter too? I want to have a healthy tank but I can't spend too much on filters.

I'm a newbie to aquarium keeping, and was never really interested until i saw a saltwater aquarium for the first time. Now I'm planning to start a 55 gallon saltwater tank of my own, and i was wondering about what type(s) of filter i should use. Some people say protein skimmers are necessary for...

Thats actually where i posted it originally but it got moved here :p

Yeah i think so too.

Yeah but i think i will save up for a bigger tank first. Turns out the tank i have is only 10 gallons and thats pretty restricting. I'll definately be keeping an eye on kijiji because i've seen 55 gallon tanks for 150$ on there!

Oh yes i would also have a powerhead. But is the power filter even necessary because i've read you dont even need one as long as you have lots of live rock but i just want to be sure.

Anyone?

Oh and its a saltwater fowlr tank, so no corals or anything.

Okay will do. Thanks again!

It turns out the tank i have is 10 gallons, not 20... But anyways I need to know if a power filter + 20lbs of live rock will be enough filtration for a 10 gallon tank. I'm only planning on keeping a firefish and maybe a goby or two plus blue legged hermit crabs. So is this enough filtration...

Okay. Then I'll probably get from there. Its great that it's enviromentally friendly too! I definately dont want to destroy any reefs for my saltwater tank. One question though, is the shipping free in canada no matter what or do you need to spend over 70$?

Is the rock nice though? Like nice shapes not just boring blobs?

Wow thanks! That sounds perfect!

Preferably at a store. I dont really want to order it online, because it tends to be pretty expensive. I'd also be willing to buy from any person in saskatoon with live rock to sell.

On second thought, I will go for salt after all. If it doesnt work out, then I can still get a bigger tank and I'll already have all the equipment i need. I just find saltwater fish so much more interesting and living in saskatchewan i habe absolutely no acces to the ocean so this way i can...
