    55 gallon questions

    Yes under the trim. Never seen them like that before so I wasn't sure. I figured they could get wet but just wasn't sure to what extent. That's awesome I wish you luck with building yours! I enjoy mine more then I thought I would.

    55 gallon questions

    Yes they are exactly! I couldn't really find a link my mom got it from Walmart. I can post a pic of the box when I first got it. It's brand new I got it for Christmas.

    Pictus catfish

    That sounds about how he acted in the 20 gallon. I know when he settled in he found him and spot and never came out of it hardly. So I guess he just hasn't found that spot yet. That makes me feel a little better. He is about 3 to 3.5 inches I believe. I figured he would love having more room.

    Pictus catfish

    That's what I am thinking but he does the around and around so much it starting to worry me. I don't know if just need to put more plants for more hiding or what. But I don't want to take away all the swimming space either. There are turquoise rainbows, yellow skirt tetras ( don't know their...

    Pictus catfish

    I just recently moved my Pictish catfish from a 20 gallon to my 55 gallon and he has kinda picked out his spot but he has constantly swam up against the glass since he's been put in there. I don't know if this is normal or not. He will kinda stop to eat but for the most part of the day he is up...

    55 gallon questions

    I tried to take some pictures to show you better. They done sit on the hood they sit under the hood. I took a picture what the good looks like on it. Then took it off and in the front of the tank is where the lights sit underneath the hood. I tried to get a picture of it but still kinda hard to see.

    55 gallon questions

    So I just got my 55 gallon started and I went to go top the water off but the LED lights build in the inside and Im not sure if water can touch those or not wondering if anyone knows whether they can or not. I attached a picture before I topped it off yesterday. Now the water line is just right...

    Finally got my 55g started

    Oh yea? That's what's up. Thank you. I just hadn't got around to topping it off. But now that you pointed it out I just went and did it. Hahaha

    Finally got my 55g started

    I've had this tank since Christmas and been needing to move my fish from my 20g to my 55g and I've finally done it. Not exactly how I had planned but it will work for now. :))

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    No sir I have not bought it yet, not rushing into anything with this tank. I want to get everything mapped out and then start spending money. Lol I'm glad you brought that to my attention though. May I ask if there is any skimmer you recommend?

    MyR6Rocks- Sweet! Thats great to know, thank you. Oh yes i usually search petco for easy reference, then later on see if amazon has it or not. xD TommyP- No i don't wanna have one of those unless i really need one. Oh ok i will have to look into that skimmer fer sure, thank you. Haha nice...

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    I only say a trash can because i would figure using a 5 gallon would a bit of a pain in the butt. But now thinking about it, it prolly would be so bad to use for mixing. Also with the skimmer how many gallons do I wanna go for? Could I do one that does 65 gallons or would I wanna go bigger then...

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    Yup yup I understand water changes. I've never messed with skimmers or power heads. So I will go look into those right now and get back with any questions I might have. Thank you! And I also thank everybody for their patience. Just wanna make sure I get off on the right foot with this tank...

    And when you say maintenance on the filter you are meaning just cleaning it once a month like I do with my freshwater filters? Water changes I am confident about just have to learn how to mix up my saltwater.

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    Oh ok I wasn't getting that the live rock will work as filtration also. So if I go with a HOB with a power head would I still want to go for a HOB with 5x the filtration amount?

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    Ok I'm missing something then you told me no on a HOB filter and now no on a canister filter. Do I only use the skimmer and water changes? Confused. XP

    MyR6Rocks- Your tank looks really great with the blue! Thank you for the picture to give me a better idea. :] Thats a good point, saltwater seems like it can be a bit overwhelming, but from the tanks i have seen i know its worth it. As far as filter wise i know for sure i will be going with a...

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    I'm really leaning towards trying out a blue background. Fish and corals I'm not sure of just yet. How do you mean different? I know I am going to need good filtration. I'm not sure if I need a skimmer or not either.

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    Oh that is pretty! I even like the shade of blue you picked. I will keep that in mind but I like that a lot. I wish you luck with the setting up of your tank good choice on the size. ;)

    Megan's first Saltwater Tank

    Petco is having their dollar per gallon sale and I finally got to go check it out today and of course I came home with a new tank! I ended up coming home with a 40 gallon breeder tank. I'm am currently working on getting a 55 gallon freshwater tank up and running( upgrading my 20 gallon to it)...

    Lighting fixtures for 55 gallon

    Oh ok. Thank you so much! I don't want to mess with more led lights just yet because of cost and it just seems easier to find what I need going with the t5s. But thank you so much for answering my question!

    Lighting fixtures for 55 gallon

    I have a 55 gallon tank that has LED lights that came with it. But I'm looking into adding more lighting I was thinking about using t5s because I want better lighting eventually for my planted tank. But my tank has a bracing piece that goes across he middle. So I was wondering if that means I...

    Neon tetra questions

    Wow that is pretty crazy/interesting. I didn't think I'd like these fish as much as I have. My boyfriend picked them out. But they are pretty entertaining. I am very excited to see what they will look like with the different colors. I shall let you know how it goes. :)
