I was curious to know if anyone has had any experience or feedback pertaining to the Lifegard Fluidized Bed Filter. I'm interested in purchasing this piece of equipment for my Marine Aquarium because I havea tank of nothing but waste producers. I'm looking to connect this to my tank using...

I'm pretty sure that the cucumber will also make it to the back of the milk cartons as well. I have been able to successfully house snails in my tank that my puffers ignore. I personally feel that they may be your best shot at a clean up crew. However, this is no guarantee that snails will...

I'm not to sure that this would help in your situation. I have a Volitan Lionfish and a Porcupine Puffer as well as a Snowflake Moray Eel. The Eel seem to do the job in eating water leftovers flow near his path. With the puffer your options are extremely limited as to clean up crews. Hope...

We should really think about making this particular feature automated.

Hello Kcarlson, well choosing the right filtration method that will ultimately make you happy is on that comes with many approaches. Depending on the type of Marine Aqaurium you are intending on keeping will get you started on your endeavors. Ask yourself these questions: 1. What will you be...

Welcome to the gang Julia. :mrgreen:

I'm curious to know everyones thoughts on my idea. I have an Undergravel filter with Crushed Coral Subtrate. I was curious has anyone every attempted adding an additional layer of Live Sand on top of the Crushed Coral? Any advantages or disadvantages that anyone can think of?

Just wait for the Playstation 3!

My girlfriend panicked the first time she saw our fish sleeping and immediately told me to help them. Took some time to explain the reason why they look awake yet are still sleeping but finally it sunk in. :lol: Also many people don't understand this but the most common mistake is that people...

I'm starting to despise corporate pet stores such as Petco. Simpte is correct if they sell it some poor person will end up purchasing it in the end. :cry:

Welcome to Aquarium Advice. The people on this website are extremely knowledgeable. Don't feel affraid to ask questions that seem simple because in this hobby it is any but simple. Good luck with the new tank. Your in for one hellava time :-)

I'm thankful for my soon to be fiance' (hopefully I will pop the question this christmas :lol: ) I'm also thankful for my sister and all the support she has given me throughout the years. I'm also thankful for my new Marine Aquarium hobby and all the members of AquariumAdvice that have given me...

That's a neat way to take out the trash. :lol:

I had two lions the first one to get sick died because I didn't due a combined treatment the second one started getting sick shortly after and rebounded within a weeks time. My Starry Puffer was also treated and was fine. I'm only currently having an issue with my Starry Puffer now because...

I have succesfully performed a combined Hyposalinty and Copper treatment to save my Volitan Lionfish and Starry Puffer lives. If you purchase Mardel Copper-Safe and perform Nightly water changes without adding Marine Salt to the new water you should be fine. I my method of treatment to other...

Nice looking tank. Would have wonderful hiding spots for fish. beautiful color as well.

Your Bio-wheel will operate just fine like everyone said. This will not effect the growth of bacteria so their is no need for alarm. You do not have to run out to the Local Fish Store and purchase a new one. Even within the Marineland Owners Manual you will read that eventually even irregular...

Your welcome. You shouldn't have any issues with it under the water like we all said. :lol:

I would personally save your cash and purchase a protein skimmer for you tank. Through fractionization they will remove the organic waste buildup from your water and save you many a headache in having to do water changes on a much frequent level. You can purchase one from petsolutions.com from...

That would definitely explain it. I feel like an idiot for overlooking the most obvious reason. The Avatar photograph was taken in their very first tank which is no longer in existance. I currently have them in a 55 gallong which for the moment has plenty of room and when the time comes the...

Are you using any medication in combination with the hyposalinty? What parasite are you attempting to combat? If it is Ich, which is what it sounds like to me. I would definitely combine a copper treatment with hyposalinity. That will definitely get rid of any Ich parasites that you may be...

I own a Fluval 304 on my marine setup and it definitely does say to keep above the water line. However, I have mine below the water line for some time now without any issues. When the Fluval starts for the first time you will here some noise like something is wrong. But that should dissipate...

I would seriously suggest in doing research on equipment that is suitable for your tank with this one. Octopus are extremely strong and have been known to bring havoc on their surroundings. People have gone so far as to using silicone to glue down pipes and aquascaping before adding water and...
