I want to set up a Nano tank in my office and I was wondering which is the best cube for the money? I was considering 24G tank. But which type? there seems to be so many. The Nano-Cube 24G Oceanic BioCube Aquapod Red Sea Max Anyone have an opinion? Is one better than the other? I...

I recently moved from CA to UT, and I feel your pain. IMO, time and patience is the key. Go slow. Fish do not need lights all the time. PWC until your NH3 and NO2 is gone. Then, consider emerald crabs, or other inverts. My crabs made short order on my algae problem after I set up my tank...

Thanks for the advice. I had both the lawnmower blenny and the goby in my tank in CA for over two years, I guess I was lucky. To answer roka64 question; I have a 75G SW tank with a 40G sump/fuge, giving me a water column of 120G. In my tank I have 150lb LR, 4-6" DSB. The tank has been...

I know then benifit of using a QT tank, however, my question is how many fish can be contained in a 10G QT tank? Can I have 4-5 fish in one tank for QT? I am looking at: Sleeper Goby (gold head) 2 ea Purple firefish lawnmower blenny Gold Stripe Maroon (tank bred) These fish will go...

I had put a little brine shrimp in once but it was probably not enough. SHeesh, it has only been a few days since the raw shrimp finally disappeared. Any thoughts on how to handle the inverts I am getting tomorrow? I ordered a "kit" from Saltwaterfish.com, they should be on my doorstep...

how often should I be feeding a fallow tank? daily? weekly?

OK help me out. My tank has been set up for about two months and Fallow. I cycled the tank with a raw shrimp from the store. The tank was going great with lots of pod growth Last week my parameters were solid: NH3=0, NO2=0, NO3=5-10ppm, PO=0. Then all of a sudden last night I have a NH3...

I have heard several different opinions and I would like to get the expert advice from AA! Lighting for fuge... should I... lighting cycle opposite of the display tank? or, lighting 24x7? thoughts?

I didnt think about the detrivore kit for the DSB in the fuge. Has anyone else had luck with the addition of a kit like this for their DSB?

anyone have a reccomendation for what livestock I can/should put in my sump/fuge? I have LR rubble in the first baffle, and a DSB fuge in another. I was thinking about a couple of hermit crabs in the LR baffle and some snails in the fuge. What kind of snails would be best for the...

The tank is a 75G tank with a 35G sump. it will start out FOWLR, but in time I will prob add SPS and other corals. The sump contains LR rubble, Corallife 220 skimmer, heater, and mag 9.5 return pump. The fuge contains 40 lb of LS as a DSB and cheato. For lighting, I have 4 96W CF,two 10K...

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the reassurance.

sorry for your loss; Cardinals and I have not got along either.

I appreciate the responses. I was only asking to better explain the term. I recently moved from CA to UT and I am now setting my my tank again. As a result, I have been studying the forums and articles to hopefully not make the same mistakes I have done in the past. Currently my tank is...

I know the adage "QT anything wet"; but I had a question on QT inverts I recently moved from CA to UT. I was forced to sell my livestock but I held on to my LR and LS. I placed my LR in totes with 2-3" of SW to keep the rock wet, and I left an inch or so of SW in the tank with the LS. Since...

I had a stupid question... For a tank to be "fallow" does that mean no fish only? What about shrimp, snails, and crabs?

Thanks for the link! It helped me ID some of my critters.

I use the Salifert test as well, and with the RC I get the same numbers. Plus, like cmor1701d; when the color turns light blue I add one more drop and use that reading. I have found adding more drops doesn't change the color any more.

I am hoping F&S is able to ship in the cold. I am in Utah, and it is pretty **** cold now 20 dg F day and 8 dg F night. I need to order a cleaning crew pretty soon. I like the idea of waiting for a warm weekend and pulling the trigger.

I just painted my tank black recently. Like you I wish I had thought of it when it was empty, but hindsight is 20/20. I rolled the black paint on with a small roller made for extra smooth surfaces. It took several coats to get good coverage, but it was something I did over several hours...
