There are some helpfull threads around... i havn't fully read through this one, but i guess your question would be explined faster in here: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/169885/photo-posting-pics-frequently-asked-questions

Moving chronicals? That sounds so epic... wierd because i moved to a different house two weeks ago... Anyways, i've learned so much from this thread i'd just like to say thank you, and that i'll keep reading this for sure. Also i thought is was insane that the thread didn't die either, that's...

I have no experience, however i've compiled some information. Basicly it the damsels are introduced first they will claim the entire tank as their own, leaving no "real estate" within the tanks for other fish. Even in some cases if the fish is put in last with similal sized fish it will chase...

Funny, but better than my experiences with "first choise"... it kinda makes you edgy when the person that is cutting you hair speaks little english. Or you could shave it off to even everything out.

i'd rather live on saturn... either way (eventualy) i'd die because of the atmospher, but it'd be wierd living on a planet that could of been a star if it was bigger. Would you rather... help your sister pick out a dress for grad (if your a dude... awkward) with everyone staring at you, or shop...

Alright, curently I have a 10g. I thought to my self, "sumps seem good... i want one..." I have 32x30x17 inches to use. Now, I'm having two delemas... 1) I don't even know what the recomended size is.(although i was invisioning a 20g sump/fuge.) 2) Could i use the sump/ fuge as a QT?

I use an alge mitt.

The cycle only took 14 days? It usualy takes longer than that... . Anyway, cleaning crew, usualy consists of hermits, and snails. I say no to a starfish, because they need a meture tank (6 months or so.) It would help if other people could cime in... ^ It would be better to wait. sorry about the...

There are some negatives to leaving carbon in your tank for long durations (in terms of months.) I've read and had a minor problems... (luckly there arn't any fish or coral in the 10g.) Because chemicals adhear to the surface of the carbon they will eventualy release them back into the tank. So...

hi sandi and welcome to the boards. everything sounds good,don't CB's need an established tank?(over six months). for plants i've herd about mermaid's cup, and sailors eye balls.

I'm a teen as well. i have two sugestions, the first being let them go outside and be with their friends. Also the second sugesgion being to get them to do a team sport with their friends( I sugest kung fu because it isn't a seasonal activity and depending on the school a friendly astmospher)
