how about frozen brine shrimp? Any luck feeding them with this?

are the guppies bad for them? or just in excess? (like us eating steak every meal) A friend of mine fed his live goldfish once a week and his got huge. What would be a good feeding schedule/rotation?

I'm interested in adding a baby Volitan Lion to my tank. Can someone tell me what the daily feeding habits are of a small lion? Guppies? How often? ANy information you could pass along would be great! Thanks!

Maybe a dumb question. On my newly re-started 55 gal tank, do I REALLY need to use my bio-wheels? I have an emperor 400 filter, with 2 bio-wheels. I've heard conflicting opinions on whether or not I need them. At this present time, I have no live rock.

What about mixing crushed coral and sand?

Similarly, I've had a lot of people suggest that I get rid of my crushed coral substrate, and get sand instead. I have 210 lbs of Tube Sand (for your car) in my basement. Can I use this sand, or would this be bad for my tank? Link to posts recommending ditching CC

My local aquarium dealer has been telling me about this product called Bio-Spira. It's supposed to cycle your tank in just a couple days. Has anyone else ever heard of it or used it? It sounds almost too good to be true, so it has me skeptical. I'd like to hear some first hand experiences if...

Thanks for the welcome. I have a 55 gallon tank with about 4 inches of crushed coral evenly distributed throughout. I have a Penguin BioWheel 330 (2 BioWheels and 2 carbon filters.) I had live rock, but I think we can rest assured that anything that was once on my live rock is no longer with us...

Also, should I buy new Bio-wheels, or is there a way to salvage the bio-wheels that I have? (although they were completely dried out for 3 months). Who knows what bacteria may have developed while the water sat and stagnated.

I have a 55 gal tank that I had established for about 20 months. A couple months ago I got sick for several weeks and let the tank get really bad. The tank has since completely died and has not had the filter/bio-wheels/or heater going for about 3 months. I would now like to start the tank back...
