Thanks Doug! The fish from the supermarket you suggest, can I just dump that in??? It wont screw up the water?

Hi guys I currently have 2 fish in my 100 G FOWLR. 1 small Undulated Trigger 1 slightly larger Dogface Puffer I have been feeding them half a cube of frozen Mysys Shrimp a day so far and they are loving it. I was just wondering if thats enough for 1 day and if anything else should be...

Thanks for all the info guys, I will look into buying that.

Hi Crom I am home now and I believe that my LR is more at the 100 pound range based on my calculations. I also checked.. I have 1 Koralia 1050 and the 2 MJs. What is a mod kit???

6 feet yes. Currently I have 3 maxijets 1200 running. I took one out last night and replaced it with another brand but I dont have the name off hand. I will get that later. I have a great deal of LR... I would guess about 50-60 pounds... but it could be higher.. I never actually weighed it all...

Maybe he was stressed out as he was new to the tank, just 48 hours in. I will keep a close eye. What do you recommend in terms of flow for a 100g tank?

Hi guys So my tank is now setup and running smooth (cross fingers) but I seem to be having a recurring issue with my Maxi Jets in my tank. My setup is 100G FOWLR and I have 3 Maxi jets 1200s in the tank to create water flow. The problem is I bought a dogface puffer and he keeps getting stuck...

Great !! Thanks for the tips guys

Hi guys Is there any devices made to 'feed' your fish while on an extended vacation?? Just curious.

Hi Guys Not sure this is the right place to post this but I started my tank recently and I was thinking about adding that trigger as my first fish. I have a choice of either a small or one or a medium sized one. Not sure which is better? My tank is 100G FOWLR. Does anyone have...

Update: Hi guys. Since my last update I have done a 20 % water change. My new results are: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 25 -50 Can I get a fish yet? If not.. what is my next step?? Just wait it out??

Hi guys, another update. Unfortunately I dont have a nitrite test kit, I will go get one this weekend. I just did another water test. Ammonia seems to be much less that <25.. not sure i would say 0 but based on this test kit there is no 0 marked. It very well could be zero but the water isnt...

Ok, sounds good. On a side note, as I waiting this out, is it of any value to keep my lights on during the day or night? I have VHO lighting and was wondering if that being on would have any value to the LR.

it was originally SW but all the water i added over the course of 2 years when my tank was idle was FW. So based on abdhalim's comment... since i have nitrate according to my test this morning.. things are running as they should and my rock will thrive again?

The rocks were in my tank.. and i kept water high so they were never "dry" although i never added salt, tested water or had any skimmers running etc.

Here is an update on water 1 week later. (salifert test kits) Ammonia <.25 phosphate 0.25-.1 Nitrate 25-50 My friend a local hobbyist came by to see my tank. He told me that the LR i had in the tank was basically 'dead' because I let it sit in my abandoned tank for 2 years with no water...

So i keep those shrimp in still, right? Been in since Saturday.

Actually i dont have a nitrite test kit. I have a phosphate one. That reading is about .025

Thanks for the response. Yes I have a nitrite test kit as well. I will test that this evening and let you know the results. I will leave the shrimp in for the time being.

Hi guys I took some advice from some members and decided to restart my tank. This time I used the RO Di water. My water was full and started to run Wednesday night. Yesterday morning I decided to buy 3 shrimps and place them in my tank. I then went and bought some test kits. I just did some...

Single 250 Watt MH and its a small bulb...i would say about 6 -8 inches

Hi guys As i was trying to work with my tank I accidently broke my light when I tried to move the canopy. o well :( The problem is my lighting was setup a long while ago by a friend and I dont know the exact name of the light that was broken. I recall it being a "MH" light and when i look...

Ok, will check in 2 weeks. What if the levels arent zero after the shrimps dissolve?

I will need to buy that tomorrow. So after the shrimps dissolve ( 2 weeks ) u think the tank will be good to go??
