Just cuz you don't use the word cycle doesn't mean I don't know what a fish less cycle is nice try though lol

The trigger will outgrow that tank. Personally I don't like triggers, but that's only because of a bad experience I had and I could never catch it to get rid of the thing...

I love triggers a lot!!! And he's ok now though thanks but keeping on the topic of nanos

 

[TenaciousTriggerFish]

Ok just did over an hour of research and now I totally understand that I have no clue what I'm doing and am totall out of my element...
Oh and I think the things i will be getting are called frags...
And I think I like bubble Magnus... I have no idea

 

[emerald76]

[TenaciousTriggerFish]

Goby and a shrimp?

Depends on the goby

Well I just bought a 60 watt bulb for the tank tonight at work (kmart)

 

[TenaciousTriggerFish]

I'm wondering if 60 watts on a five gallon wil actually warm it.. And thoughts on this hypothesis?

 

[scottayy]

Just a regular incandescent light bulb?
You'll probably want at least a compact fluorescent.

No need for a skimmer on that small of a tank.

 

[TenaciousTriggerFish]

Want or need? I want to go as cheap as possible but I also don't want to half crap it.... I just want the stuff I put in it to live

Here is a pic of tank and filter will be starting fresh with substrate... Water... And all
