Also, pick up a Freshwater Masters Kit. You need to get those nitrates, nitrites, and ammonia readings under control asap.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely get my hands on that book. Trust me, Earlybird, I'm doing my research. It's going to be a long time before I even start setting up. It stinks because I'm soooo anxious to get started and to have a beautiful tank, but I realize this isn't something I just...

Some of the species used as feeder fish (goldfish and rosy red minnows) contain high quantities of thiaminase, an enzyme that destroys Vitamin B1 and when fed in large quantities cause nutritional imbalances. Because of the conditions under which feeder fish are held, they are also likely to...

Ok. I didn't know that. I'll write that down in my notes. I really am taking notes. haha. I'm such a nerd.

You rock. Thanks so much! And don't worry...I have a zillion other questions. But, I'm slowly learning and that is the important thing.

48" long 12" wide 2" substrate

Still doesn't work. I tried it several times yesterday, too. Hmm.

Sorry for all of my newbie questions, but I want everything to be done right. This may be a silly question, but are all corals SPS?

Thanks, but I tried that already. When I enter the numbers, nothing calculates.

Current USA Orbit 48" 4 x 65 Watt Power Compact Strip Light W/4 Lunar Lights Would that be good enough for anemones/corals? Thanks!

I'm sorry as I'm very new to this, but "creatures" can just grow out of your live rock? So, when I do put live rock in my tank, chances are something else may come of it?

Ok. Great. :D And, what about the live sand? I'd like a 2inch deep sb.

Great to know. Thanks! Since I'm not going to start with corals right away, I'm not too worried about my lighting.....as of yet. I guess my next question would be, how many pounds of live sand should I purchase for my 55g? And, I plan on ordering everything, fish included, from this and...

Thanks for all of the info! There is sooo much to take in. I'm glad you told me about the crushed coral. I have a dumb question, and laugh if you'd like.... I was looking at peoples before and after photos of their tanks. The before photo will have just plain live rock. Then, in the after...

We are going to go with the FOWLR. For substrate, I'm still debating on crushed coral or live sand. Or, is it possible to mix? For the fish....I'm STILL doing my research, trying to figure out the easiest and hardiest for beginners such as myself. So, if anyone has suggestions, feel free to...

Hello! We here at home have decided to go with a 55g FOWLR. I've been keeping freshwater for about 4 years, mostly cichlids. We recently moved and remodeled the house and lost our fish. :( I have a few empty tanks, but we thought it would be easiest to start a saltwater set up in the 55g...
