ok i havent gone to any stores yet but novice , did you make your own sump? im still trying to figure out if i should just make it and buy all the skimmers sterilizers and pumps. Im still debating on making the tub a 16' by 16' by 24' or smaller. IM definetely going to go as big as possible...

sure will

thanks . im going to a pool shop to look at some pumps but i will look into the pumps that you suggested.

fresh 13 yrs salt 7yrs

soon to build my shark tank. im going to buil just a look down but i want some suggestions on filtration. i want to do a 12' by 12' by 2' tank. i want to know if it would be ok to put a 125 next to the tank with powerful enough pumps to turn the system around about 8 times an hour. i will also...

i would feed them mysis shrimp, cockle, muscles, squid, sand eels,clams and any formula food. i would soak it in zoe vitamins before feeding every meal .

most eels are pretty good in a 125. i would say do a hawaiian.

definetely go to acrylic if your getting a 240. thats a big tank. two leopards and maybe a bluespotted ray would be ok for about 8 months to a year IMO. if your getting that big of a tank do the biggest protein skimmer you can afford with a good wet/dry. i recommend a biorocker. since your not...

it is very common it can actually last up to about 6 months. i had one but i got it when it was full grown and it never came out. i had it for about 3 months

i recommend any brand name tank that you personally like or can afford. i agree with slick on the lighting system with vho's . i would go with ice cap ballasts. i would then use the bio rocker system or the cpr system those are the wet/dry's. i would then use a seaclone skimmer on that. if you...

your best bet is if you are using a wet/dry system where the water enters your filter then put some kind of pad or micron bag to catch a lot of the particles then also on your return pump put a sponge of some sort around the intake part. this should also help to clear it up. it all will just...

it wont really hurt to put the tube on but IMO i dont think it's necesary. the flow should just be enough for the salt just to desolve.

i wouldnt say it's harder or easier. i would say it's just a little more complex. if your willing to put the time, money , and effort to it then try it. but just remember the bigger the better.

ive only had my sump side bust out and all of the water in my tank just kept running out of the sump it was 55 gallons. i lost only acouple of fish. but the worst was at the store i work at. our invert rack overflowed because calurpa got into the overflow and it overflowed about 150 gallons into...

i've kept seahorses for actually a year and got rid of them. they bred sucessfully twice but none of the fry survived. the way you can tell if it was wc or cb was how much did you pay. if it was under 30 i almost guarantee it was wild. if it was over then it was probably cb. seahorses dont have...

i think they are awsome. the store i work at just got one in . tiny guy about a foot and actually in the wild they have been reported at a length commonly of 14'. Im currently thinking of getting it but im not sure about it with my golden puffer. But im deffinetely going to get one sometime or...

my leopard jumped out thursday and i saved him but saturday i looked and his tail was torn and red like a cut. it seems like there has been no change since then and i think it might be infected. does anyone know what i can do to keep it from spreading or what it is? thank you

those puffers are really curious. i have one and they are actually docile. mine doesnt seem to bother anyone. i had him in with clownfish and he never once touched them.

clownfish do the swimming in a pace like form in front of a current. They do this just to basically waste time. Now if they dance next to each other or if the biggest one "female" is dancing well that means that they are a mated pair and they are getting used to each other. This dance will look...

usually when a store sells a hawaiian dragon under about 700 that means something is wrong. Hawaiians are really known for not eating. I work at a lfs and we got one in from a guy that had it for about 5 yrs. That thing would eat like crazy. We sold it to a guy and it stopped eating. It didnt...
