So I moved 3 of my fishes within past week (one just yesterday) Parameters are these: Ph - 8 Ammonia, Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 5.0ppm WHEN can I move another one?

I don't doubt at all but I have to work with what I have - holidays, two kids, and wife who thinks i am obsessed so i am looking for easiest solutions, yet, this is not something i want to f up - that's why i ask for your advises so i will add another fish and wait up thank you

So I followed your advise and introduced my red eye cardinal - used the same acclimation as I would do with any new fish from outside of my home. Two days and he's swimming around alive and kicking. Eating his shrimp, etc. My parameters all checked out fine but when do you think I should drop...

Btw, when can I actually throw one of my fishes in there? I have two red eye cardinals so I can sacrifice one. Rocks from old tank are there, some sand too, moved media from old filter to new - last Friday. Sat threw in some crabs who are alive and well. How long do I wait to start the process...

OMG! WOW! I just read it twice and have it printed Thank you

thank you Spanko. advises as always very very helpful that's exactly what I got from my research and I did throw in some sand yesterday. also, since i have a fish only tank and i vacuum gravel pretty often, i can prob take more sand from my old tank than most people do and throw in for starting...

Hi, that is correct - new 30 gallons in new tank and 40 lbs of new coral/sand. Salinity is at 1.023 at both and temp is already there as well. I'll move my rocks then and some rinsed sand from old tank - too much to throw away :-) Thank you!

Hi, I am setting up my new 54 gal corner tank and moving stuff from 35 gal hex. I added 30 gallons of water w /ideal 1.023 salinity. Added new crushed coral/sand and few pounds from original. I have some new rocks and some old rocks from the original tank. I am thinking of taking the rocks out...

I just bought this tank - currently have 35 gallon Hex w/ one 50/50 bulb. New tank has coralife w/ dual bulbs. The guy who had it before had freshwater ciclids in it and didn't need the T5. Currently, I have a timer where my light go on at 4pm and stay on till 11pm. With the new setup, do both...

Hi guys, I just picked up the 54 gallone corner tank - it looks sooo huge comparing to my 35 gallone one (I know it's cute to most pros here with their 200 tanks, but I like it). Picked it up from a guy who has 13 tanks and breeds ciclids. He gave me 300W (?) heater, Coralite lites with two...

Hi, it's been a year since i upgraded my 16gal to 35 gal hex. Finally, I got approval from the other half that I'm allowed to upgrade to something bigger. I am kind of bound by the size - as I only have one perfect corner that separates my Dining and Living rooms - so I settled on 54 gallon...

These fire shrimp are gorgeous. But let me ask you - what kind of care do they require? I've seen them in the store but they scare me that they will require more maintenance or that my fish would eat them (I love shrimp lol)

Can u add just one shrimp? I always see many of them in the tanks......
