I'm thinking of starting a freshwater planted tank. My hardware currently consists of a 55Gal tank, Fluval 404, maxi-jet 1200 powerhead and jager 200W heater. I need to purchase some lighting. Could anyone tell me what my WPG would be on a 55Gal tank using this fixture...

.please delete this post.

I'm just about ready to order lighting for my 55Gal and after doing a bit of reading and browsing I've decided to go with the T5's. The best site I've found to order from is www.reefgeek.com and I'm looking at the Tek Light T5 HO Florecents -- the question is should I go with the 54W or 39W...

Its been about 6 weeks and the lobster hasn't killed any of my fishies which is GOOD. They seem to be getting along just fine. However he's been digging the deepest hole under some live rock and appears to be on his way to China. The main problem other then the rock possibly falling on his...

Something in a piece of my live rock is blowing out sand every once in a while.... the strange thing is that this piece of rock is sitting on top of some other rock (not near the sand) When the sand comes out it looks almost like when your smoking a cig and you blow a circle w/ the smoke. Its...

If anyone cares to watch... http://68.36.4.245:8080/ :) The lobster may come out of his cave... you never know :roll:

Could someone post some pics of their skimmer? I'd like to get an idea of what it looks like on the tank. plzz :)

The newest additions to my tank.... :D The tang didn't want to pose for a pic... :o

When you first hooked it up... did some dirty black water come out where the pure water is supposed to be coming out of? (blue cord) :?: The black water stopped after a little while... just curious if anyone else had the same thing happen.

My sandstar was killed today :evil: I'm betting it was the crabs that came with the live rock that did it. Pretty sad because I only had him for like 2 days and he did a full lap around the tank during that time. He seemed pretty active, sigh.

I've got some orange blob looking thing that is growing or came out of my liverock... the clownfish seems to be hovering over it or guarding it and whenever the damsel comes near the clown chases him away. The orange thing appears to be alive! I"ve seen it move and change shape.. sort of like...

Anyone have a program that I can use to shrink my pictures so I can post them on this website? It tells me my images are too large and I don't have photoshop or anything that can fix them :(

Do you guys have the air tube open to have air bubbles coming out of it? I'm not sure what the purpose of that would be....

http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=HG10240&ast=&key= Its an attachment for the fluval canniser filter... any opinions?

I just hooked up my Fluval 404 and I was a bit weary at first about purchasing it because I had read that a few people said it was noisey. Nevertheless,I wound up at petsmart buying it for $102 (brought a printout of the price on petsmart.com) It took me approx 45 minutes to get it setup and...

http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_protein_skimmers_aquac_remora.asp?CartId= I've got a 55gal tank with 3-4" DSB and live rock on the way. Just put in 2x225w heaters and I think i'm going to go with the Fluval 404 cannister filter. The question is will I need a skimmer? If so is this the...

How much live rock is required to get the cycle going? I finally have the playsand + live sand + RO/DI water in my tank. I was thinking to get enough live rock from the LFS to get the cycle started and then look into getting the rest of the live rock from liverocks.com. Or does the rock from...

I've got an empty 55gal tank right now. I'm currently waiting on my RO/DI unit to be shipped to me which I should have by mid-late next week. In the mean time do you think it would be a good idea to order my live rock? I was thinking to buy one of those rubbermaid tubs and buy a few gallons...

I've finally put my 55gal tank stand together and I purchased my salt + ordered a RO/DI unit off ebay. While I'm waiting on the RO/DI to get here I'm curious what you guys used to clean the inside of your tank before you put the water etc inside? I'm assuming using any cleaner will leave...

Hi everyone. I'm new to the forums. I've been reading the articles on this website as well as some of the posts and I've decided on taking the plunge into the aquarium world. I've visited a few of the local pet stores and have been looking at the 55 gal tanks. So... I have a few questions...
