I'll try to get some pics later. But I don't know if they are big enough to show up on a picture.

On my 10g nano tank there are lots of tiny green worms crawling on the glass. They are about 2 mm long and really skinny. Anyone know what the are? I currently have a blue legged hermit crab and a condy anemone. Will the worms hurt any thing in my tank? There are also some corals that...

I wasn't planning on the sump to help with extra filtration or anything, I just want it to put my filter and heater in to make a cleaner looking tank.

Ok, so I have decided I to set up a sump for my 10g. I have a 1.5g that I would like to use for the sump. How do I set it up? does anyone have a link to a guide on how to do it? Thanks!

Hi So Ive decided my 1.5g pico is too small, so I decided to upgrade. I bought a 10g and set it up. I put all the cycled sand, filter media and cured live rock from my pico in it. My question is will the tank still need to cycle since I put so much good bacteria in it? Because I have read that...

Lol I didn't realize that the link was canadian, so the price was different. I am going to order two, will they be enough for corals?

Nice, now just if they were a little cheaper haha. I dont really want to spend $52 on lightbulbs lol it would be the most expensive part of my tank. But I'll have to watch for some cheaper ones....

Ok thanks guys.

Hey guys I am going to start a 10g and want to try corals. Is two 13 watt cfl lights enough for any corals?

I found a 10 gal and a 7 gal tank on craigslist, both for $15. I decided I would like to uprgrade my 1.5g pico which has just a piece of live rock right now, to the 10g. Could I use the 1.5g as a sump? If so, how would I set it up? Also, would two 13 watt natural white/daylight cfl lights be...

You should try to change some water, say 25% to get rid of some of the ammonia.

Ok, so I found a 10 gallon and a 7 gallon tank on craigslist, both for $15. I think I will use the ten gallon for a reef tank so I would like to have some mixed water stored for water changes. But anyways, how long can I store mixed saltwater in a five gal bucket? If I can store it should I...

Hi everyone, I started a 1.5 gallon pico about 3 weeks ago. It currently has only a piece of live rock in it. I have a 13 watt full spectrum cfl lighting it. I really want some coral, like mushrooms. I would like Ideas for cheap corals, not $80 mushrooms lol. Also, what could I put in it...

Yes I agree that I should have a bigger tank for the bluegill. I plan on getting a bigger tank when it gets bigger, as it is only about 2 inches long right now. And they can live in schools or alone from what I have heard.

Yes I agree, I love this forum because it has so many different catagories and members.
