Those definitely look like pikes Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advic

Hi everyone, I bought a firemouth cichlid from my lfs last week where he looked very healthy & active. However when we took him home he did not eat and I assume he has gotten bullied by my gt. Now he stays upright and has this little thing sticking out of his butt which I looked up and may be...

Yea but the pump is on the inside of the tank.

yea i checked those. neither of them had the bh-90. i did find these 2 websites Reef Octopus BH-90 Hang-on-Back Protein Skimmer - AquaCave.com and Reef Octopus BH-90 Hang On Skimmer | Octopus BH90 HOB Skimmer does ayone know if these websites are reliable?

Idk, I was looking but still want to go with reef octopus. They seem very reliable (not to say that the other brands are not), i just trust it.I see that they make a BH-90 which is cheaper down to 179.99. This would be be better but on brs its out of stock. Does anyone know a reliable website...

Idk ill research it but thanks for sparking my interest

Idk many people find reef octopus more reliable

Idk going through

No i didnt get anything yet lol just trying to make a supply list. For te skimmer i was thinking about the HOB reef Octopus BH-100. I haven't researched about te bak-pak. Is it cheaper? I should look into it. For now im staying with the LEDs that came with the tank. These are not sufficient for...

If I put in the 5 lbs. of live rock before i start my cycle and then i do my cycle with the raw shrimp, would the ammonia spike cause the corraline algae to die? & before I put it in the tank should i rinse off the life rock

Ok thanks!

The 5 lbs of live rock and like 20-25 lbs of dry rock and put it in before my cycle, it won't cause the params to spike when I have livestock in the tank. Right?

If I get

Should I just like place the other dry rocks around it and eventually it will spread? & does it need to be cured?

How many pounds of live rock should I get to seed the tank? 5 lbs is sufficient ?

Ok so I've decided that im going to wait until next year to get the ATO next year if we take the week trip. This will be sufficient BECuse I can save up money for it. Also, I was reading many forums and I have seen where it said that to grow corraline algae you has to put some live rock in to...

which ATO do you recommend then BigRedsReefs10? do you have an ATO? should i trust the floaty thingy on the nano? or should i start up the tank & then when we take big trips, get the ATO? i normally take the weekly trips end of June/ Beginning july. i wont start up the tank till late july/...

Also the im getting the brs 5 stage plus RO/DI & it has an inline TDS meter, do I need to get another?

What happens if i want to go away for awhile like a week? Do I lower the salinity to its possiblity like 1.2 ? And ten as a week passes by it'll go up? Idk how much evaporates per week. salt Imma prob get instant ocean bucket & ill prob get another heater from Lfs. I guess it really is not worth...

i want to make a definite list of everything i will need to have somewhat of a price in my mind. so RO/di 199.99 ATO idk if i should get Tunze osmoloator 3155 or nano 3152. i dont really trust the flotation device on the nano. Thats why im leaning towards 3155 cause it has the eye but its 100...

sillyfishies, since you are starting a 30g have you considered an auto-top off system? i think it will be crazy to constantly be bringing water into the tank everyday since it is so small it will evaporate quickly. i was looking into the tunze nano does anyone have comments on it's reliability...

For the algae growth, Would I be able to get away with Water conditioner & in my aq 50 gfo with activated carbon. Would this be a suitable replacement of the rodi system I would also be running a reef octopus BH-100 protein skimmer

My dad was talking to a friend who works at an aquarium and he said that the ro/di is not necessary if you do not have corals.

what brand are your powerheads? hydor? & did you get sand from lfs or did you order it. did your lfs give you the live rock also or did you order it online?

yea i was looking into rodi and i prob gonna get the brs 5 stage plus. um for the powerheads, should do you think i should get something less powerful becuase the tank is only like 13 inches wide, but like 27 inches tall. should i jsut get the powerful one and point it downwards into the tank...
