Update:When i got up this morning, hes still there!...im starting to wonder if hes stuck,but ill wait it out some more :)

Thanks so much! I feel way better!! <3

After acclimating my new blackcap basslet into my tank, he immediately swam himself behind the maxijet in the back of the tank,hes alive,but isnt coming out...should i move the powerhead so that perhaps he'll go into the LR? Im afraid the powerhead will smash him or something...i turned it off...

Heres the actual tank,the canopy is one big peice,it doesnt have a door or anything and its open in the back. Ill take a much better pic when i get home!!

Originally Posted by florida joe Can you send a pic of your canopy with out seeing it hard to tell but a guess would be since you need to keep the reflector off the canopy with some kind of spacer I would go to my local home depot and see if they have an adhesive for wood to acrylic I am sure...

Hey all! Just wondering if its possible to put a retrofit *specifically a coralife aqualight dual 96 watt 36"* into an acrylic canopy...i just got my new tank,and i was going to get new lights..but the lights in my old tank are the same length.. its a retrofit i screwed into a wood canopy. Can i...

Originally Posted by PerfectDark I would say that a hang on fuge is convienient if theres room for it. What about underneath it? Is there room for a 10Gal you can make your own? 130W PC's with actinic lights would be very good for all soft corals. IMO Its not how much flow that becomes an issue...

Originally Posted by RainbowSix if you want a fuge that bad, why don't you just use one of the ones that hang on the back. They are pretty nice. The only problem is, i used to have a CPR hang on fuge,but the opening in the top of the acrylic tank isnt big enough for it,i would have to mod a...

Well i just found a deal on an awsome acrylic 29g, but im kinda confused as to what i should use to run it. I dont need lighting for SPS's or anything,i just want to keep fish,zoos,shrooms and softies :) Heres the tank: dimensions are approx: 36 length,16 tall 13 depth. would i be ok to use a...

Hey all..just witnessed my first fish leap out of the tank,my midas fell behind the tank,i got him back in really quick..but since hes wet and i have 3 cats,hes now got a ton of cat hair wrapped/sticking to him...can this get into his gills or will he rub it off somehow..ack..im so worried for...

ok,forgetting about the whole filtration situation right now,heres the tank in its new home: i just now put a black background on it,and put in some live sand that was from a LFS that closed down about 4 days ago,this was used in their tanks: My question is now,i was gonna take 5gallons from...

Hey there! You have ALOT of options lol im upgrading to a 65 myself,what colors do you like?do you have a fave fish species? In my humble opinion,the most fun fish to watch are wrasses,so i would go with a radiant wrasse,or one with a similar body type that only gets to be around 4-5...

Hey all,wanted to get some advice if i could,i got my new 65g and in in the middle of transferring things from my 45 over *im gonna update my diary thread tonight!! :)* My old tank was running FOWLR, with a big wet dry that was the standard acyrilic deal with the big bio ball chamber,i plan on...

Thanks for all the info about the lights,i do wish i could upgrade...but right now i dont really have the funds,and i dont plan on gettin any "hard" corals soon so hopefully i can make it for awhile :) hehe heres my first inquiry though! Im taking the tank up to a LFS tommorow, to possibly get...

Originally Posted by renogaw nice little upgrade :) if i can offer some advice...take the lights back and get either t5's or metal halides. those are the same lights i have and you won't be able to have the "nice" corals. not only that, but the replacement bulbes are near $40-50 each every...

Ok,so starting tonight and hopefully ending this upcoming Tuesday,im upgrading my current 45 G tall FOWLR,to a 65G tank which will be a noob reef! Ive never swapped tanks before so im sure this is gonna be fun hopefully i can keep everyone on here updated as i go and if im doing something...

Hey all,just thought id give some closure on this thread,went back up to the LFS,and took a more realistic view at the mandarin,not as fat as i thought,in fact not very fat at all..i think i was seeing what i wanted to see at first. I asked the guy there to feed her once more,and this time i did...

Originally Posted by GUBBER Hey, don't give up so easily. They are wonderful fish to have. Just make sure you stay with what she's eating right now and go from their. The truth dosn't hurt but don't give up on a dream cuz it's difficult. I'd wait a little longer than 3 day. I have a small tank...

Originally Posted by Pontius the breeding of copepods should definitely work as long as your rock and sand are good enough for them to eat off of, and yeah, a fuge definitely is good for copepods because it gives them a place to breed away from the main tank. I think ill try and get a fuge...
