2nd the aquaclear with sponge for shirmp to do a quicker cycle of the tank buy some extra filter media for your 10gal (in approriate size for the 5gal's filter) and let it run in that tank for awhile

29 gallon tank do roughyl 5 gallons every week to every other week depending on if i get busy on wc day

insert college budget (ie no money for coral) why not try an ornament anemone? worse to worse you take it back for a refund

yeah i know there are a large quantity i didn't see any similar on the link posted above, if i get the chance (busy weekend) i'll go back to the store and try to snag a good pic

so i'm stealing the image from my friends website, he came up snapped a decent shot and since i'm cameraless it works. http://notunderscore.com/photos/2007/summer07/target8.html no tank shots as its dirty atm fighting algae again, why arn't there any SW plecos?)

sadly no pic, it had the same body as a blue/green chromis only it was a peach yellow/orange color. size was on par with a green chromis, definitely not the first you mentioned (that came up on my google search for info)

anyone ever heard of these? I was walking through a local pet store (mainly does dogs and birds but a nice mini fish setup) and saw a tank full of them. I'd never seen them before or even heard of them (thought chromis only came in blue or green). i'm curious as to their nature and hopefully...

roughly same size ones a little bit bigger than the other (how they were when first purchased) but both are still real young (i'm going by the black on them they both are still real dark)

6 line wrasse or a goby ?

So my true percs have been in the tank for almost a month now, half that time they did the kids thing of dividing the tank in half (one had the half in front of rock work, the other the half behind)/ Now they are hardly more than an inch apart does that mean they've paired up? They never...

well you can get a mystery snail (the huge ones) a nice party of ghost shirmp or cherry shrimp (to clean bottom), then throw some tetras in to take care of the middle of the tank. maybe a betta if you wanted a "showcase" fish just an idea

you've mentioned the most popular in your post and the rest have shown as well. Pretty much any canister worth its salt will have the quick disconnect, my fluval 204 has it and at worse you'll get a few drips and unless you tip the canister when cleaning thats it

You could get PFS or play sand like a lot of planted tanks do. as for the fluval if you use it you'll want to ditch the sponges as they will build up nitrates. With enough liverock and thus a live sand bed you can go filter-less and just use some powerheads and as a skimmer. you can empty it...

from what i've read in other threads jebo/odyssea lights are somewhat hit or miss, some love them have no problems others report them as on par with other jebo/odyssea product quality (ie. poor or not as effective as the "big brands")

i would suggest the otos and neons instead of white clouds, of course there are so many different types of tetras too so you can contrast your betta's colors easily

this thread would scare me if i put my info inside it. Being the poor college student $60 for my recent true percs and 1.5lbs of LR was rough enough, and to boot i'm getting ready for some sort of refugium which no matter how i do it is at least another $80+ yes not much compared to some of the...

get one of the wavemaker/swivel PHs. do the "standard" 2 up top and put a swivel say halfway down in center of the tank. another thing is if you add a skimmer it will create current like a mini PH (depending on its size and gph) or if you add a refugium your output into the tank will add some as...

thanks for the info, eyeing a green clown goby and depending on prices i was thinking of either adding a 2nd (i've heard they can breed in aquariums) or get a cleaner goby slight edit~ there wouldn't be any issues with housing a clown goby and say a bi-color blenny would there?

ok one more question been looking at the ebay glass kit for refugiums and i'm wondering do you have to have an overflow box from the tank or could you just run the pipe straight from tank to sump? will the siphon work fine or break to easily or is an overflow just an extra precaution? the kit...

I can't help at all with the skimmer part sorry well you shouldn't need supplements right off the start. Buy a master test kit and check your water, if you are using and treating tap you may not have to add supplements at all. If you have to dose my LFS recommends the Kent line. I've no...

Well i picked up a set of true percs today from my LFS. i call them a set as they had them kept singly in side by side tanks, so they arn't a true pair yet. They are both still small and young (the black around their stripes almost touches the black on the other stripe) after freaking me out...

just a slight question would a 29/30gal be too small to house 2 gobies? I've read they can be aggressive to same species unless there is proper space

for inside i either use a magnatized algae scraper (gets most things off the glass) or when i do PWC i have a sponge head (used to be attached to a stick as a scraper but it fell off a long time ago) that i use when water levels are down
