I have gotten the temp down to a steady 79 degrees.... I would agree that a natural cycle would be best, well now I would anyway but when starting I did what I was advised to do... I got a lot of support from my LFS meaning that when I follow there advice and if it doesn't go the way they said...

Well I now that base rock will adventually turn into Live Rock but I was just wondering the time frame this takes to happen???

From this post I am seeing that everyone is saying bring up my salt levels, but from what I have been told 1.025 seems high... This is not a reef tank, so is that reccommended for all fish? Even though the tank is just a month old I have used Turbo Start 900 which boosts your cycle by adding the...

Good one, I was going to ask the same thing...... Copper levels?

Hello everyone again.... I had a previous post on here about some problems I recently had with my tank here is the link if you want to reference it https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/210736/newbie-needs-help-before-it-is-too-late Anyway my Red General Starfish died today???? Have no idea why...

I have found some very interesting looking fish... the fisrt one is called a Mosaic Leather Jacket & the second is a Scribbled Angelfish.... I am telling you this hobby just keeps getting more & more interesting!!!!

Wow that was really good info on the Angel!!!! Any info on compatable tankmates?

So what was your total cost after it is all said and done?

Has anyone heard of the two following fish: Ornate Boxfish or Personifer Angelfish? They are very awesome looking fish!!! I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about them or matbe even has one or the other.... Would like to find out more about them.... Check out the pics below......

The only thing I am interested in knowing, is how long have all these fish been in the 65g tank? I have a 60g with one fish in it (Foxface) and she really likes to put her waste all over my nice white sand!!! So I am just trying to imagine what the waste looks like at the bottom of your tank...

I have noticed through these threads that there is not much info on aquarium octopus'. I was just wondering if anyone out there has ever owned one and the difficulty level??? I know some of the basics like they don't have a long life span whether captive or in the wild, I know they need a very...

Well since I was not smart enough to research this star before purchasing I have been really worred about him.... He has been in there for almost two weeks, moving around the glass and eating regularly... If he was not going to make it do you think I he would be acting differently or it is too...

Hello everyone! I just wanted to give everyone an update as to what is going on... Looks like my tank is going to make it after all!!! I re-acclimated my foxface on Friday after a week plus of QT.... She is definitly back to her old self being very active and eating regularly.... Contrary to the...

I completely disagree.... I have never owned a tang but I do own a foxface actually the first fish I ever bought.... Of coarse just like everyone else I made mistakes when I first got my tank and it has had it fair share of issues in its early life my foxface is the only one who made it...

No, no, no.... Like I mentioned in my paragraph I never had any intention on getting all of those fish, I was basically giving a list of fish that I would liek to get and seeing which ones were compatiable, thats all.... Well can the blue line & clown trigger live in the same tank if big enough?

No I don't own any other pets.... For the most part thought cats & dogs are no longer wild animals.... Fish are though.... That is a pretty big statement to compare your water quality to the ocean, I would have to strongly disagree.... I guess the way I look at it is that no matter how big of a...

Right, there will be more overall volume, but not any REAL additonal swimming space for the fish.. I guess what I am trying to figure with this thread is when I decide to purchase a bigger tank what is the most important part of it.... Of coarse the are a lot of decorative tanks out there that...

I am trying to find an alternative to buying the "moon lighting system" from my LFS because it will run me about $80 which is almost as much as I paid for my tank... But would still like the effect.. I thought I read something about purchasing LED's from Radio Shack???

That is a beautiful set up!!! As far as cost effective goes, was it cheaper to make that stand yourself versus buying one???
