ok, so, I have like 5 empty tanks sitting around, but not alot of room, so I set my 10 gallon back up. I moved over some dead live rock (it was live rock once upon a time) put in an inch of sand, bumped the salinity up to about 1.010, (I need a better hydrometer, will pick one up tomorrow...

need a larger fish to finish up my south american 75....must not like eating the 2-4 inch fishes (I don't care if he likes to munch on little neons or cories, but not on angels or silver dollars) the tank has 3 small angels (all less than 2 inch head to tail) 2 silver dollars, approx 3 inches...

oh yeah, I do have two female fancy guppies. (only females, since they are pregnant, and when they have fry, the fry will be natural food for the bigger fishies.

ok thanks. right now I have a beautiful male betta in the 75 with some neons, silver dollars, cories, a pleco and a pictus cat. Everything is fine so far. I am planning on getting angels, and if I see trouble, I will move the betta into another tank.

well, my community tank is a 75 gallon, which I am wondering if that is big enough

Just wondering if there is a tank large enough to house 2 male bettas? Also, would bettas cause a problem if I introduce angels to a large community tank? Just wondering if other fish with long fins would be a problem at all?

thanks for the linky. Did not even think about using joint supports, would be a good help, and help ease my peace of mind as well. :) When I get to building I will prolly look for something like that to help out. Mucho gracious

would 1 or 2 of the small neon cleaners be ok? or a smaller pistol goby? Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Neon Blue Goby - Tank-Bred Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Hi Fin Red Banded Goby

Oh I have the skills and experience, and the tools, I just don't have a tape measure at my apartment right now. I simply don't have room to place 2x4s like that though because I am using a 55 gallon sump, which is only 6 inches narrower than the 75, whereas two 2x4s places so would decrease...

Well, I am tearing down my 29, I wanted to save a few things, so I saved 1 ricordia, a couple of green zoos, and a SMALL leather (I mean small, the head is less than 1/2 inch across) Also saved 3 nessarius, one misc. snail that cleans the glass really well, 2 hermits, and a tiger pistol. I...

First quistion, will 6 2x4 vertical supports hold the weight of a 75 salt water, I guess estimated weight around 1000 lbs? that is a support at each corner and 1 in the middle of the length dimension Also, what are the EXTERNAL dimensions of a 75 gallon? i.e. including the plastic borders...

Well, I have my 29 reef right now that I am about to change over to a single GSP tank and remove the corals. I have an empty 55 lying on the floor, and have found a cheap unused 75 gallon. I always planned on using the 55 as the sump/refugium for a larger SW tank. So, here shortly I plan on...

could either the algae or aptasia survive brackish conditions?

Well, I had a die off this summer, lost all my bichirs and a few other fish. I restocked with 2 oscars, and a medium albino channel cat (tank still had a pleco, 2 silver dollars, and a pictus cat) Well, the albino cat killed both oscars, and he went into my pond. So I am back to what I had...

I have a 29 gallon, it has been running for about 2 years now. only fish I have lost, one jumped and one died when moving the tank 200 miles. The two clowns been in since the start are just fine, if not growing at the expected rate. Anyways, I am in college, and thus broke. As an...

being too fine would damage the roots? I know it doesn't have sharp edges....wouldn't be very good in a reed tank then, but it does keep the pH kinda up there, I figure I would counter act that with a few pieces of driftwood if the water being basic would be bad

10 gallon tank 40 watts of power compact 10k I have one of those CO2 yeast things (not as effective as compressed CO2...but.....) Also have the full set of nutrients for a planted tank I dont have a filter for it, but I could move over a canister filter to the tank that I don't think would be...

I have more than just that 65watt. that is just the light I need to replace (having to replace the ballast for it as well) the ballast blew and took the light with it...I just dont know if I should go with a 10k/6500, or go with just a straight 10k.

ah thanks Melosu. Didn't realize this section was here

I need to replace my white light. 65 watt, power compact, square pin. Now, the tank is a reef, no SPSs, clams, nothing really high light. Do I want the straight 10k, or the dual daylight (10k/6500)?

the purpose of schooling is that smaller fish in large groups can give of the presentation of a much larger fish to their predators, throwing the predators off, and If the predator attacks, it decreases the chance of it getting a hold of a small fish (all the same looking targets making it hard...

It should be noted that without something at least slightly aggresive in the tank, schooling fish may stop schooling.

If you just leave the fry in the tank, they will likely get eaten by the larger guppies/platies. I use guppies for feeders...can go through a few hundred a week.

I caught a small one out of our pond yesterday....thought about throwing it in my 75....then though about losing the fish I actually paid for when they became dinner to a slightly larger fish... I would not mind getting hold of some small bass about that size though, I am looking at a restock...

Um, I take it that Silver Dollars eat plants? I got ahold of some duckweed for my 75.....2 days later, it is ALL gone...and I had a decent amount of it. also, do S.D.s go well with angel fish? I am thinking about changing up the stocking on my tank, thinking angels maybe. Well, I lost my...
