    Stand problems

    Well I bought a beautiful sedona 90 gallon stand and set it up, unfortunately the bottom of my tank is a 1/4" to big. Any suggestions other than cut out a 1/4"+ out of the stand. You need the bottom plastic trim for tank integrity and keep the stress off the tank, right?

    Protecting the rug

    I'll be setting up the 90 gal fish tank I have very soon. I'm curious if anyone out there put anything under the tank stand to protect their rug? I know they have rug protectors or another rug could work. How far out from the tank did you go if you went this route? Are you glad you did it?

    HOB going from freshwater to salt

    My HOB will be going on my 90 gallon, I have it in freshwater now with a fair amount of salt for the mollies and platys. MY question is will the same nitrifying bacteria in the HOB still work in the 90 or will they all die off in the switch? Of course providing fresh ammonia wouldn't be a problem.

    Raising Kh

    Is there any cheap way of raising KH while not killing my PH. My KH test kit came in and I'm running about 0-50 ppm, I need to be up to 100-200 ppm. Right now my PH is perfect at 7.4. I'm running a live-bearer tank. I tried adding in a seperate bag with a little bit of crushed coral in my HOB...

    POLL:::Following the 1" of fish per 5 gallon rule?

    Do you follow the 1" of fish per 5 gallon rule? Include ALL the fish that you have at the moment into the equation NOT their future adult size. If you have more than one tank then use your largest tank that mainly has fish in it. Thanks.

    This question came up on another thread. I own whisper filters, but they tend to be a bit too noisy for night time in a bedroom. I'm wondering if i shut them off for a brief period maybe 6 or 8 hours of no water passing thru them, will it kill off the bacteria? I still will be running an UGF...
