Lol, to get my newest tank I had to get my fiancée a puppy too!

Okay! Where do you buy your eco complete from? A lfs? And what is the best root tab? I'm really new to planted tanks if you can't tell. Lol.

I'm planning a 37 planted tank and I want to use black sand as my substrate. I also am planning on using one of the types of aquarium fertilizer substrates (I assume that's what it's called). I wanted to know what people have had the best results with. I found a place I can get them fairly cheap...

I'm sure that's the best seat in the house!

+++1 I think they're a little smarter about it. Yes they shouldn't do it. But it's entertainment regardless of what channel it's on.

I would definitely go with nls over omega one, its a higher quality food. My tropical fish I have love blood worms and brine shrimp too, both I buy in frozen cubes and then thaw in tank water.

That's a saltwater tank with a sump with a sump. It adds more water to the whole overall tank and helps keep water quality better by diluting your water

I really like the PetSmart brand of stuff personally like the Topfin starter kits. I bought the 5.5 gallon and its been set up for a year and haven't had any problems with it. I do like the marine land filters better though.

I think that's the cutest thing ever! Good luck with them!!

I think this is the show off section... Not invertebrate.

I've been keeping freshwater for quite a while and I'm hoping to move on to salt. My plan is to get a twenty gallon (or if I can get a bigger one on Craigslist I can try for that), have a Hob filter to rub purigen or any type of media I would need to add, two powerheads, a heater, and I would...

I was hoping to set up a ten gallon for dwarf seahorses but I'm thinking about maybe doing that later on and starting with a 20 gallon FOWLR. I can get a filter, heater, aquarium, stand and everything. I was wondering if I would need a protein skimmer on this size, though I've read you only need...

That's the scariest story I've ever read. Thanks for sharing.

I think what they're trying to tell you is that even if you don't run into problems immediately, you probably will down the road with gas bubbles that are toxic and algae problems that are out of control. You can get base rock online for cheaper I think and you wouldn't have to worry about these...

I just saw your reply I'm sorry! Now I have a bala shark and I'm not all what else I'm planning on getting when I upgrade and get everyone but can you tell me which would be the best nls formula for me? I'd like to feed them that but honestly, I have no idea which one to pick or anything. It...

I do plan on doing reef eventually so id like to have that book. But I'm glad someone did read that other book!! Thanks!!

Well that's for all that! I'm planning on keeping a 10 gallon with dwarf seahorses! I am going to go with the instant ocean because I'm sure it is better and I'm going to buy a tds meter and find the best water around me!

Well I appreciate what you have said! I'm so excited to start my salt adventure even though I'm still a couple months away. My fiancée and I are moving in two months and once we move then I'm going to set it up. So until then I'm just going to read a lot, watch for sales, and stock up on stuff!!

I'll definitely look into that book. That sounds really good. Have you ever read or heard anything about the salt water for dummies book? Lol.

Well my concern is I would like to keep dwarf seahorses and they will be hurt from the hydroids because when feeding so many live brine shrimp, the hydroids go crazy. I just am just trying to make sure I avoid them at all costs.

How do you do water changes?

I'm new to salt and was wondering about vacuuming. I've read you aren't supposed to vacuum to sand but to do just water changes using my vacuum, is it okay to use the same one for salt water and fresh water? Or should I have two separate ones?

So using distilled water is good for the sw?

I want to get one of the salt water books just haven't purchased it yet, going to half priced books when I get home from vacation! I'm also wanting to subscribe to tropical fish hobbyist magazine. I've seen some of them and I think they're awesome since I have fresh and soon to be salt tanks!

Okay so for a fish only, I'll use instant ocean and distilled is fine? I wanna make sure everybody's gonna be fine!! Lol. I live in an apartment and can't buy an rodi unit which is why I was wondering about using distilled. I was told the hygrometer weren't accurate? If they are, id love to save...
