What Nas said, I recently added my first inverts (snails, from SWF.com) and used the drip method. I waited 2 hours and by the time I put them in my tank, the Mexican Turbos were crawling around. If you aren't familiar with the drip method, check out the acclimation section of this site, it...

Thanks peeps, yeah my water is about 79 degrees and I only have a 30 gal with the same heater you mentioned.

I know there's a certain suggested range for the water temperature, in fact it has it in green on my thermometer. However, I was wondering if there is a specific temperature that is ideal for fish. Also, in case of emergencies (ie powerfailures, drastic outside temperature changes) what is an...

Aight thanks all

I have a FOWLER that has been up and running since September. I purchased around 30 lbs of LR for my 30 gal, but it looks like I could use some more do to the addition of fish and critters. Is it possible to add LR once the aquarium is established?

I just ordered a clean up crew for my tank, and alas my skunkback psuedochromis has eaten three of them. All the research Ive done on him suggests that he doesn't eat shrimp....but I guess this was wrong. Anyone ever have their fist eat all their shrimp???? Its very fustrating, and hes very fat...

I have a 30 gal FOWLER with 2 Tomatoe clowns, a dottyback psuedochromis and Flame angel.....just wondering what a good size clean up crew is for a 30 gal tank, since snails come in groups of 5. Is 5-10 too many, does it vary between the different types?

After your cycle completes, do a 30% water change. This comes from both this board and my LFS.

I have a failry new 30 gal FOWLER with crushed coral instead of sand. There is some algae starting to grow on the rocks and glass. I was wondering how necessary they are for a small tank, what creatures are recommended, and if they can survive on crushed coral instead of sand. Any input would be...

After cycling my tank and trading in my damsels i added one of these as my first fish. I think he is absolutely gorgous and loves his new home (30 gal FOWLER). I was wondering how difficult they are to care for, and which other species that live well with them,, and how large they get. thanks.

Ive noticed some people do not recommend airstones in tanks.....is there any major problems with them, depending on substrate or size or whatever?

I have a 30 gal tank that has just finished cycling. Unfortunately, because this is my first time, I'm learning things now that I wish I had known at the beginning....oh well. Anyways, I have crushed coral instead of sand, which people seem to not like. Is it worth putting in sand, and if i do...

Thanks for the welcome. I also have a powerhead, which i run very low and a few air stones, along with some fake plants. My ammonia and nitrite levels are almost 0, and im not sure about my nitrate....i have not bought a test for that yet. The salinity is at 1.02. As for fish, I hadn't planned...

I have a 30 gallon tank and I am new at the hobby.....My tank has some live rock and crushed coral, and im nearing the end of the nitrogen cycle. Amazingly, 7 of my damsels survived the cycle (the store did not mention any of the Nitrogen cycle to me and I bought alot of cheap fish). I was...
