Oh sorry i was looking on ----.Is that a good place?Would it be better to DIY?

Do you have any links to good places for lights?

Mine started out as my son modelling a cloth diaper(yes they have came along way!) and it was so cute i zoomed it on on his face. Original

I'm getting ready to set up a 20 and a 55.I'm looking for decent hoods and lights for them.Something semi strong and easy on the pocket book

Well the tank they are currently in is old and has no lid or light.I can't even find a lid that will fit.So i was gonna break down the other 10 gallon with lid that has had goldfish in it forever and cycle it for them for the time being.Tuesday we are getting 1 55 and 3 20's.My filter and all is...

Would any of these work in a 10 gallon with hermit crabs and low light and water flow?

I'm in the process of getting a bigger tank but it will be awhile before i can afford everything to set it up.So i was gonna get some Corals and LR to add to my 10 gallon Hermit tank.These are not little hermits their bigger than a golf ball.Could i have corals with them?What corals are o.k...

Poor little hitchiker LOL!My hermits have been in from day one and their doing good.Not that i recommend that.Their how i wound up with the aquarium anyway.

O.K. i just changed out about 1/4-1/3 of the water.I'm gonna wait a bit and retest.The tube type test kits are good right?They were pretty expensive and i'm a believer in you get what you pay for Oh what should my salinity be?Ideally for the crabs?

Originally Posted by Al Mc If you are going to set up a 'fish only' tank then any lighting will do. However, if you want a reef tank (with corals), then you will need more powerful lighting. There are many threads on this site about lighting..the different types and what might be the best one...

First off Hi and thanks for your help O.K. we are going Tuesday to pick up a 55gall and some 20's.DH is gonna build the stand and canopy.I think we're gonna use one of the 20's a a sump or fuse?is that right?Don't even know how to do that yet Anyway about the lighting.Could we buy our own...

Did you dechlorinate?How long has it been set up?

Should i worry about the 2.0 Nitrites?Does everything else look o.k.?The LFS said that i couldn't add anything as my numbers were to high?

Originally Posted by kiharaconn Before you buy make sure they are drilled tanks. Personally I would go with a bigger tank than a 55 if you are doing saltwater. The larger the tank the better. Usally 55's are not wide enough to fit in all that you end up wanting to put in there. A 75 is the...

And my crabs are being lazy.I did a 1/4 water change yesterday and still no change.What can i do?

Can't see it

O.K. so i've really decided the 70 gallon set up for $250 wasn't the deal for me.So i was checking the paper and this lady has 55gal for $50 and some 20gal's for $10.I mean it's just the tanks but that is real good right.I think DH is gonna build us a stand.As far as lighting goes those ones at...

I was always told not to start a SWA with less than a 20gal.I see some of you have small ones with alot in them.Not fish but corals and such.So you can have a small SWA?Only with small stuff?

Originally Posted by 1journeyman The new tank will still cycle... Hehe, re-read what I keep posting. The bacteria grows on your filter pads, rock, glass, etc. Very little is in the water. Using old water in a new tank will not prevent a cycle. Yes yes i have mommy brain LOL!O.K. but if i...
