If your nitrates are high, just do a water change of 20% 2 times a week and you will see them come down. LISTEN TO DME, he knows what he is talking about. Why are you so mean to DME? HE IS TRYING TO HELP YOU! :notsure: THAT'S IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!!

I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, but I have a small problem and could use some help. I was at *****, and they told me that my 7 gallon tank would cycle better if I purchased a few freshwater oscars and put them in there. Well, that was last night, and now I have 4 oscars...

Picture this...... It's a nice day. You work at McDonalds. Your day is going great....when....all of a sudden....you know you have to take a crap! And QUICK! You go running into the bathroom and what do you find??? looks like an 80 year old man couldn't hold it any longer!! He bursted...

Have you considered drilling? I'm no pro on sumps................ANYONE OUT THERE TODAY that can give this fellow aquafan an answer?

So last night I went over to my neighbors house, and he just started a salt water tank. The crazy thing is the LFS sold this 10 gallon tank setup to him with all the other stuff PLUS they sold him a YELLOW TANG right away. I tried to explain to my neighbor the problem with the tang, but he...

have you ever had any problems with the pump in the 12g dx ?

I could be wrong here, but wouldn't an Emperor 400 be a good filter for his 75g? I would think that the 400 with an 1140 powerhead and skimmer would do the trick real nice.

thanks clarki for the quick response.....i'm just so confused on what i want to get, either a 10g or the 12g nano deluxe. i wish someone would just twist my arm and make me order one or the other! :help:

what brand (coralife) is good? where do you get them and how much? do you need something special to cool this if it's going on a 10 gallon? i know the 12g nano cube has two 60mm fans on it for intake and exhaust. need help so i can order my lights and equipment. thanks.

I haven't purchased anything yet, but i'm thinking now of getting a 10 gallon with the 96 watt light i've heard people talk about on here. I was going to get the 12g 48w nano cube dx, but I think i'm just going to do it piece by piece and go down to the LFS and get a 10 gallon tank for $9.99...

Good reply about the salt creep. I did forget to mention that the salt gathered a lot more on the ballast, lights, hood, etc... with the air bubbles on with the powerhead. Jester805, what are your plans for the Yellow Tang. I feel bad for that guy in a little 29g. He must be super stressed...

rbaby, can you post some pics of your nanocustoms cube you got? I'd like to see them if you wouldn't mind. What do you think about getting the nanocube DX vs. the nanocustoms models? anyone? the nanocustoms is kind of confusing on what i do to configure it myself. Any help...

Clarkii, thanks for the rundown. I am now getting a better idea of what i'm looking to dish out in terms of cash. Thanks for the other replies as well. I am starting a shopping list now. :)

On my old 65g, I had two Penguin 550 Powerhead's on either side of the tank. I sometimes adjusted them to blow bubbles, but i didn't have a skimmer on the tank. I never had any problems although you might search for someone more experienced to give you a better answer.

Originally posted by ClarkiiClo I would go with the 48W version. 24W isnt that bright. Neither is 48 but it is twice as good. :yes: What do you think about the nanocustoms modded 72w version? Would that be a good choice over the 48 or would the 48w be enough? Thanks. :)

I'm thinking of getting into a nano tank. I'm wanting to order the equipment asap so that I can start the cycling process. Possibly the 12 gal nano cube, maybe the DX version of that. I also have looked at nanocustoms and they have some modded and upgraded nanos you can get from them. I haven't...

Thanks for the pictures. The tank looks great. I'm gonna cross-post this in the new hobbyist forum too try and get some more responses.

Rogue, thanks for the reply, do you have a current pic of your cube so i can see roughly what i would be getting? What lighting option do you have? the dx 48 ?

I'm thinking of getting into a nano tank. Possibly the 12 gal nano cube, maybe the DX version of that. I also have looked at nanocustoms and they have some modded and upgraded nanos you can get from them. I haven't thrown out the idea of a standard 10g with a 96 watt coralife on it as well. I...

I have a buddy who put a Yellow Tang in a 45 gallon and the tang didn't last but about 9 months. I would say the 29g tank is way too small for that size of fish. Your LFS guy basically lied to you. You could call the LFS where you purchased the tang and ask for a refund / store credit and...
