    ? on moving to a bigger tank

    I'm setting up a 150. I only have two fish left in my 35 - two ocellaris. My lemonpeel and gramma died when my skimmer stopped skimming on vacation and my ammonia skyrocketed. The plan is to add a large angel with the chromis and cardinals. Something else, but not sure what - maybe a tang of...

    ? on moving to a bigger tank

    I 'm setting up a bigger tank this fall and have a question about adding new fish. The plan is to set up the larger tank and let it cycle. Move my existing livestock over. Then, I plan to use my old 35 gal tank as a QT for the new fish. Can I add multiple fish to the 35 gal tank at the same...

    Another Fish Stock question

    I just got my new 150 gallon tank and now I get to plan the fish to go in it! I currently have only two ocellaris in my existing tank (my lemonpeel and gramma were the victims of a broken skimmer while I was on vacation). Can I add these together? 3 Banggai Cardinals 5 green chromis 1 flame...

    tank and stand dimensions

    I just bought a used 150 gal tank and need to get a stand and canopy. The tank measures 72x18x28 but the outside measurements are 72.5 x 18.5. Stand dimensions are all listed as 72x18. Does this mean that I have a nonstandard 150 because of the extra half inch? or is this common and my tank will...

    Ammonia!!!!!! Help!!!

    4" DSB - do you think stirring it up would have done it? I had to move all the rocks around to get the dead lemonpeel out - stirred stuff up quite a bit.

    Ammonia!!!!!! Help!!!

    The tank is 9 months old and has (had) 2 clowns, 1 gramma, 1 lemonpeel and various assorted cleaners (approx 40 snails, 5 hermits, 3 peppermints and a very healthy, happy red serpent star) - the newest thing was the lemonpeel, over 6 weeks ago.

    Ammonia!!!!!! Help!!!

    Nothing new added - my son did decide to scrape the sides of my tank and stirred up the sand bed????? He says he's done it before but I've never had this kind of a response. The gramma died overnight but ammonia was down to 0.1 this morning. It's back up to 0.2. I'm going to change the water...

    Ammonia!!!!!! Help!!!

    Long story- but someone please help! Last Saturday I measured water parameters - everything was perfect. We went on vacation on Monday. I left small amounts of flake in cups for my pet sitter to feed on a nightly basis - about 1/3 of what I would normally feed on a daily basis. We came back on...

    How large of a tank?????

    I've got a section of my living room that is perfect - it's the intersection of two main outside support beams - where the house was added onto in the past- that has great support. That's the least of my problems at this point! :) I've gotta find a tank, stand, canopy and lights that I can...

    How large of a tank?????

    I"ve been looking for a 180, but haven't seen much in my area (tri-state NYC area). I'm kinda hoping that a ton of people say that a 150 would be GREAT! or that if I take something off my list it would be GREAT! Although I may feel comfortable with - it'll work, but it's not ideal.

    How large of a tank?????

    I'm looking for a new, larger tank (used) but am having a hard time finding one in my area. So, before I regroup, any opinions on what the minimum size is that I'll need for my ultimate fish list? I currently have: 1 lemonpeel 2 false percs 1 royal gramma I want to add: 1 emperor angel (this...

    want to buy a 180 or bigger in new jersey

    Thanks! Unfortunately, I have my heart set on an emperor angel to go along with my lemonpeel, two clowns, my gramma and hopefully a few new additions as well. I'm pretty sure I'll need at least a 150 to keep them all happy.

    want to buy a 180 or bigger in new jersey

    I'm in the market for a used 180 also - tank and stand or tank, stand and canopy. It seems to be a very hard size to find used here in the NJ area. I'd also be interested in anything used or a really cheap source for a tank this size.

    tan colored "fuzz"

    no disrespect taken - my entire family is colorblind - but not me! It's definitely tannish- light brown in color. I'm going to try to take a picture tomorrow, but I think it will just come out looking light dull, dirty rock when in fact it's pretty well covered in red coralline.

    tan colored "fuzz"

    My beautiful live wrong has become covered with a tan-colored "fuzz". I can brush it away, but it comes back the next day. It's probably 1/8-1/4 long and almost completely covers my rocks. My sand bed is clean, my glass is clean. I've got coralline growing on everything!- glass, skimmer...

    Calling all 180 gal owners

    I'm in the planning process for upgrading to a 180 gal tank. The lights have me so confused. I have PC lights on my 35 gallon and I'm pretty happy. My eventual goal is a tank with some large angels, so there won't be much coral in my tank (although I may try a few and hope for the best) so I'm...
