What kind of salt do you all use and what type of test kits do you recommend? Reason I ask is there are some online places having Black Friday sales and Im hoping these might be a sale item. And fish food?...for the ghost feeding.

How much live rock do you think? I know its roughly a pound per gallon but could I go to the low side of that since its so small? And yes, BTLD is correct, it is fully cured.

Thanks a lot...both of you. I knew that didn't sound right.

Thanks a lot. I don't have any intentions of getting any coral very soon. I just got this tank to get my feet wet and see if I like it. How long should I have the live rock and sand before any fish? The guy at the fish store said if I got my live rock from them I wouldn't have to cycle my tank...

Sounds good. Now when you say any other coral would require more lighting...I plan on upgrading to the 50/50 power compact you recommended. Does that change anything? Still, I plan on starting very slow but I was just wondering.

CLOWNS! Who doesn't like em? haha. If I understand correctly I can get a black and white and another from the Ocellaris...like a false percula or maybe a snowflake? Id really like a clown goby as well. Would that be possible if I keep up with water changes and fresh filter media? And what would...

Thanks. I've been reading. I have the Conscientious Aquarists but I like tips and tricks from experienced individuals who have tried different things as well. I also like to hear different product reviews

Thanks a lot. Any specific brand on the light? And when you say half at a time u mean half the quantity of the media right? What about the foam cubes...rinse all, 1, or 2? Which chamber would you add GFO and live rock to? Put the GFO in a little sack like the pics I have posted? And how many...

She said it has a 10K bulb but she didn't say what kind, I haven't taken it out yet to look...she told me about every little thing that was wrong with it and threw in an extra pump so I figured why would she lie. The pic of the filter media is everything described as it came out of the tank. The...

Basic. Few softies and a couple clowns eventually. Im brand new. Can you elaborate on the media you mentioned...which chamber and such. Also, any suggestion on a light upgrade...something to handle some easy corals but nothing for the complicated ones? And I was already planning on a powerhead...

I bought a used 12 gallon nano the other day. In the first chamber there were 3 foam blocks and what looks like a small sack of live rock rubble or crushed coral, in the second chamber there was a sack of carbon pieces, a sack of small plastic tubes or some sort, 7 black pieces of plastic kinda...

I just bought a used 12 gallon Nano. It came with 20 lbs of sand, the filter media, pumps, lights,etc...My question right now just concerns cleaning it. How would you go about it? I've read that washing the sand in bleach then rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse...? And what about the different...

well the guy never responded when i asked about the equipment so I've been lookin around online and a lot of places have specials going on their bio and jbj nano cube. Im finding 29 gal biocube for around 270 and 28 gal nanos for around 300. Are these good prices? Which is the better in your...

Also, if I decide to get it, what upgrades would you recommend? Im just planning on corals with a couple clown, a gobie or something small, and live rock.

He said he has saltwater in it now just enough to cover the sand. He had fish in it but put them in another tank along with his clean up crew. Not sure how long ago. It has upgraded fans to make it quieter, a new pump, and a 10k light. He's asking $80.00

I am brand new to this. Never had a saltwater tank but I found a 12 gallon nano for $80 on Craigslist. Says it comes with 20 lbs of live sand and everything else a nano comes with. Are there any specific questions I should ask or anything in the tank to look for?
