Okay, We thought we were going to upgrade my 33 gal almost cycled tank to a 90 or 125, I finally got a recommendation for a local LFS so we went to take a look and now I am SOOO confused. I figured that all I needed was a new tank, hood, light and stand, so off we went. I had planned on LR and...

Rob, Thanks for the ideas. It's not actually a fish show, it's a reptile show - but glasscages will be there. The 135 tank and stand is $470 - but no hood or light. I just called absolutely fish and they're not sure that I could get a standard hood for the tank - but we're going to go out there...

Thanks a ton for the info! Any reason that I should get a 90 over a 135? Does absolutely sell liverock?

I've got my new tank all picked out - now what? My husband has agreed to purchase a 135 gal tank for me instead of the 33 gal tank that I have cycling. I'm getting it from a vendor show tomorrow, along with a stand, but no hood, light, cover, etc. Where, oh, where, can I find a 48x18 inch top...

And double thanks for the glasscages referral. They're having a show in my area this weekend. I'm going to call them and see if they'll have a tank that suits! They're sold without hoods, so now I have to go out and find a hood/light, etc, but the price is fantastic for the stand and tank, so...

Thanks for the Absolutely fish suggestion. How are their fish, LR, etc? There's absolutely nothing in my immediate area!

I have a 33 gallon tall hex that is almot completely cycled 0 just got some dead rocks and sand and a few decaying shrimp in it! Today my husband said he'd be willing to upgrade to a 100 gallon or so - now, before we put in fish and live rocks - but I can't find any local stores that sell one...

Thanks - how much of a water change? I'm not going to be able to buy my LR from a LFS, so I had planned on living through a mini-cycle - hoping for less die off - If I do partial changes after putting in the LR - will it help any?

Good evening! I've read a few times people suggesting that at the end of the initial cycle that a water change should be done - Does this have to be done? and for what purpose? Just curious, I'm not quite done cycling. I'm cycling with cocktail shrimp and plan on adding LR as soon as I'm done -...

Thanks for all your responses to my other posts tonight - I'm on a mission to learn a few things today. I can't quite figure out this cleanup crew thing. I have a 33 gallon tank, so I've extrapolated from the websites and what others have in their larger tanks, does this sound correct? 4...

Thanks - how large would I have to go to add the chromis and/or the mandarin? I had a 70 gal freshwater several years ago when I upgraded this hex, unfortunately, I sold it a while back. I'm sure that I'll want to upgrade in a year or so, but how large should I plan on getting if this is my...

My son and I have just been checking out all the really cool fish we'd like to someday have in our new FOWLR tank - and now I need some planning advice please? We'd like to eventually have a mandarin - and realizing that is a long term goal, we'd like to stock with fish that would be compatible...

Wow! So far, this is a great site to browse through - it'll keep me busy and learning. My 33-gallon has been set up for three weeks now. I have sand and base rock at the moment and am cycling with cocktail shrimp. My readings seem to be progressing well with one exception - I can't seem to get...
