Welcome to the site Ruby. This place has a wealth of information.

Chefbill Like V227 said the skies the limit. I am also finishing up my conversion as well. I converted my reef ready 300 gallon into a fw setup. I am getting ready to start stocking the tank. I am keen to the overstocking as well and my choice is all male peacock cichlids. I like that the...

great looking oscar

Jc what else are you planning with the tank as far as setup. Plants, driftwood, etc?? This will help narrow down types.

Very nice setup. How it feel to have more room? :fish2:

Delapool how do you take care of gas exchange, if the tank is covered and you inject CO2?

Too Funny :lol: My 7 year old is the same way. He doesn't wait for anyone.

Angel I couldn't agree with you more on the glass tops. When my tank ran as a reef tank I never used them and I never really had a problem with jumpers. My tank is pretty deep at 31". I decided to put the glass tops on when I saw that my evaporation rate was 1-1/2 times higher than my...

Bandit I did know Marineland made a sumps yet one with the patent bio wheel. Looks good.

Question on Gas Exchange Alright my friends I need your advice on a thought but first to my question. Do you run your tank with glass tops or no glass tops? Does anyone pipe in air from the outside? I know that in saltwater we would run a tube in from the outside to our skimmer but in...

Thanks Angel and Bandit. I turned off my tank lights last night and they have been off all day. I just check and my ph is slowly climbing it's at 7.85. I guess that BBA was taking all the O2 out of the water.

No not weeks it’s less than 4 months old. I also have the white fuzz on the branch as well. Would staving it for a light source help.

It is a new piece of wood. Less 4 months old. I had in water for about 2 month letting it release tannins and soak up water so it wouldn’t float. So H2o2 won’t her the fish either? How do you add to a 300 Gallon plus system? Or do I spot treat with a syringe?

How do I get rid of this and how did it get into the tank if it was cycling?

BBA?? what is that and how do I get rid of it?

R.I.P. :sorry: I think a flowerhorn would look great. A blue Diamond would look great with the setup.

Bandit I must admit I've never tested sitting water in a bucket. I am running a sump which I have partially covered. I have the display with lids which covers 90% of the open area. I've had this like this for a while since I started up the tank. The only change was the weather. Since it...

Good idea Bandit :cool:

Interest. Thanks Angellove. Since it sounds like it's harmless I'll leave it alone. I am adding 11 plecos and 6 oto's to my tank as a clean up crew. Hopefully they will do all the work.

Thanks TMaier. My sand bed has a mixture of some aragonite but I guess it's not enough and will require more.

Thanks V. I thought about scraping it off but if it will grow back I won't. I'll keep an eye on it, hopefully it won't get out of hand.

That's awesome. I am looking to do something similar to my setup. Do you provide additional lighting for the plants?

Hey I need some help with my PH. I just want to say that I am not chasing a perfect PH but just want to understand why this is happening. Sunday 1/7 I did a 100 gallon water change. The PH from my tap is pretty high around 8.9. So after the water change the PH jumped to 8.54 then dropped the...

Hey all Can anyone tell me what this is? Will it go away or will I need to make it go away. https://youtu.be/T1Cfarrr5iU

Need help Identifying Hey all I need your expertise :fish2: What is this growing on my driftwood? I am also starting to see this show up in other parts of my tank on driftwood. https://youtu.be/T1Cfarrr5iU How do I get rid of this? Also would this cause my PH to drop. It's gone from 8.13...
