    How many pumps do I need?

    Thanks. :) Ok, here's one more question. sigh. I just heard about "closed loop system". Is this cheaper/more expensive in the long run or initial cost? Is this better for water quality? Does it matter what kind of fish or coral I want to decide this? I don't know what coral I want but I have...

    How many pumps do I need?

    How did you know they handle 600 gph each? Thank God you said that. I think that is what was confusing me. Do I want the water to be moving on the surface? or is that bad? If I had money to spend would it be better to have 2, 3, or 4 powerheads? Thank you so much !!!!!!!

    Are my Blood Parrot's trying to breed ??

    Weeell, these fish are scared to death of me. lol. They came out more when the other fish were in the tank. Now they are happy to stay in their little caves and come out occasionally. They really are skittish fish. lol. ...so it's hard to get a picture of them. They're about 3-3 1/2 inches long...

    Are my Blood Parrot's trying to breed ??

    I like the smilies ! :) On another forum they think it is 2 males trying to figure out who is boss in the tank. You don't think so? Have your fish done this and then layed eggs afterwards? Does it mean something when you say not just a male and female pair....but mated. They can't ya know? can...

    Are my Blood Parrot's trying to breed ??

    I don't know if this makes a difference or not but when they were going in circles over and over it wasn't violent....it was actually kinda graceful but I could be totally off base with my opinion. They weren't chasing eachother...they were going upside down over and over with eachother. ...

    Are my Blood Parrot's trying to breed ??

Finally yesterday they started coming out and getting comfortable. The BP that has been here the longest (around 15 days) took over the planter (pot) that I put...

    What in the world are my blood parrots doing?

    Well, to all of those who have been helping me I want to say thank you. You have made us come so far. You saved our fish's lives from the tragedies that WalMart and PetsMart's advice had started. You'll be glad to hear that we have a much more powerful filter now. 40 gallon tank - rated for 70...
