well, I have no budget in mind. At the moment I want to know what type of microscope I should be looking for, and how much it costs, and then see whether I can buy it now or save money to buy it later.

it's basically educational. I realize one does not really need it to successfult maintain a tank, but I am sure it can help one gain further knowledge

I am thinking of buying a microscope for this hobby. Can anyone tell me what I should look for and where I can find them. Thanks

roka64, I acclimated him using the drip method for about 2 hours. So far he is not showing any signs of stress. He looks normal but just not eating.

I got a tank raised percula (smalll/medium) yesterday. I put him in my newly cycled 29g tank. The tank has only one small damsel. Today I fed the tank but the clown fish is not eating. He just takes the pellets or flakes in his mouth an then spits them out. He is not being harassed and does not...

your test results have two decimal points, what test kits are you using

Thanks afishyonados I know that it is around 10% every week, but my questions is about the first waterchange after the tank cycle is complete. I heard that some people do a 50% change and then 10% weekly thereafter

My 29G is approcahing the end of the cycle. I have not done any pwc during cycling. The question is how much pwc I need to do once the cycle is complete. Is it 10% or more. Thx

Nitrate is around 10 ppm. Did not test for PO4

I started a 29G Oceanic nano reef and it is being cycled now. I used tap water for the first fill. I got a TDS meter today and my tap water has 11 ppm only. Is it worth the money to buy a RO/DI unit. Thanks

I set up a BioCube 29G, it is now being cycled. I have no experince with Nano reefs so I need to know the following: 1) Is the stock pump (rated at 243gph, used as a return from the w/d filter) enough, or should I replace it with a stronger pump, such as Maxi-jet 1200 2) Do I need a powerhead...

I will get a TDS meter to test the grocery's RO water. What is a good TDS range for RO water

Is the RO water you get from the grocey store the same quality as the one produced from the RO units made for the auqarium hobby (Kent, Spectrapure..)

I set up a 29g nano reef. I was wondering if any one knows where I can buy RO water. I do not want to purchase an RO unit as it is not worth it for a small tank (I would only be needing 10 litres a week for water changes). I live in Burnaby BC. Thanks
