Get two nets and chase one into the other. Works well for me when I have to get a fish out of my tank! Or a net and a specimen container (those clear plastic things that hang on the side of the tank) but that is a little harder to pull off. Hope that helps

IMO you should do a large (25%) water change and wait a week then you can add a fish. If you have already done a WC and the levels still test out ok then go for it! My .02

It is my opinion that all live rock must be cured before it goes into an established display. This is regardless of where it was purchased from. Die off will occur when the rock is removed from water so even 'cured' rock from your LFS will experience die off during the transportation home, not...

I would think it is possible as long as you have adequate access to the area you want to paint and are incredibly careful about drips and spills. IMO I would much rather paint an empty tank to allow for accidents and such. As for paint I've just used regular spray paint on the tanks I have painted.

I operate on the assumption that HOB overflows will not fail as long as they 1) don't require a pump (CPR) and 2) nothing can clog the U tube or drainage tube (the configuration of most HOB units will not let this happen). I haven't had a problem yet. I know that probably won't help you but it's...

Fresh water dip seems to be a well accepted method. My .02 Edit: or i could be mistaken... :)

Do you have a HOB overflow? If you do raise the water level in the tank by raising that little box with the teeth. Also be sure that your return line from the sump to the display tank isn't siphoning more water back into the sump area when the power goes off. Solve this by drilling a small hole...

I only feed once a day in the late afternoon. Some people feed every couple of days. IMO I would not feed twice a day as it would add too much extra waste that would need to be processed. My .02

I'll second the bi-color... my fav fish. My Clarkii is also an engineer, loves to dig big ditches in my sand bed.

The 1200's use way too much power for the extra GPH IMO. 20 watts vs. something like 9.5 for an extra 60 or so GPH? Not worth it if you ask me.

Welcome to the board! Yup, all that stuff should meander on over to the other rock you've got. It'll take time, but (as the slogan goes) nothing happens quick or cheap in this hobby! Cheers!

I've been happy w/ Maxi-Jet.

stinky sick puppy poop

I wouldn't hold your breath rwhite, the prices up here are probably just as bad as down your way! :)

lol: poop

You may want to browse the Nano forum a little ways down the list. I don't have any experience with small tanks but from what I hear they are harder to keep :) (but they do look cool). Good luck I hope you find out what you need!

Currently I have a 60 gallon with about 45-50 pounds of live rock (looks pretty sparse) a 800 GPH HOB overflow (which isn't putting out anywhere near 800 GPH) and one 200 GPH PH. What should I add (if anything)? My initial concern is that I am not getting enough water flow in my tank. If I am...

The smiley war was hilarious! lol.. i've got to get me some of those :) I've lost 15 pounds changing my diet and becoming *gasp* more friggin active! Stop eating at McDonalds and run every once in a while and you are g2g IMO.

Good deal! The rock here is top notch! Good Luck :D
