Oops! I'm on my mom's computer and was accidentally signed in as her! The above question was from me...not Lisa!! Beth

Thanks for the help everyone. Weberian is right...I'm only testing my water daily. I have not done any water changes yet...only a top-off. I likely will not do a change until the tank has cycled. :happyfish Thanks again, Beth ***)

My new 55 has been set up since last Saturday. I have been doing daily water tests and it seems as everything (ammonia and nitrites mostly) are increasing as expected. I'm just a little concerned about my pH. It has been holding steady between 7.8 and 8. Will this change as my cycle...

Ok, thanks! I was hoping to hold off getting a skimmer for a while....but I guess I'm going to get one sooner than I thought!! Beth ***)

Hi everybody! I just set up my tank and started it cycling just this past weekend. One of the power heads that we put in didn't work so I exchanged it today and put it in right away. After I got it running I noticed there was a lot of white-ish, kinda slimy film on the top of my water that...

Thank you!!! I'm super excited...and nervous! :cheer: Beth ***)

I finally got to set up my tank this weekend!!! I have been researching and learning for a little over a year, got my tank for Christmas, and now FINALLY my birthday has rolled around so I got my stand. My mom (MonaLisa)came up this past weekend to help me with everything. I have to say I...

I will definitely post lots of pics! I just can't wait!! Beth ***)

:cheer: Just wanted to post my excitement and anxiety that two weeks from today my mom (MonaLisa) will be coming to stay at my house for the weekend to help me get my new 55 all set up!!!!! I am SOOOOO excited! I have been on this board learning since she set up her tank (a year ago) and...

My own tank (STILL ) isn't set up yet, but my mom has a tank with lots of corraline and she has a plastic scraper (I think it might be an algae scraper) that she uses. She has to put quite a bit of elbow grease into it to get it off, but it does work. Good luck! Beth ***)

False perc clowns are very peaceful too!! Beth ***)

Very useful information, thank you!! Beth ***)

Hi everyone!! I still have not gotten my tank set up as we just got back from vacation, I haven't gotten my stand yet, and I'm still doing some last-minute research. I THINK I have made some decisions on the type of fish I'd like in my 55 semi-aggressive tank. Please tell me what you...

Yes please! I'd like to see pictures!! Beth ***)

I've had my RG for probably 6-7 months now, and he's always out and about. The only time he hides is when he tucks himself in at night. Cool little fish. Lisa :happyfish

This isn't necessarily an aggressive...but it's as close as I could come. I'm hoping to someday have the colors changed and put diver down flag behind it. I think a lion fish tattoo would be awesome! Beth ***)

I thought my mom, MonaLisa, would have posted the names of her fish by now as she has some clever ones! I guess I'll just have to do it for her... False perc pair: Bozo and Cookie Coral Beauty: Sister Mary Angelica Royal Gramma: Prince William (Willy for short) Yellow Watchman Goby: Gary...

Again, great pics everyone!! Beth ***)

Here's some fuzzies. I wish they belonged to me...but alas they are my mom's. I am still living vicariously through her tank...until I can get my 55 up and running SOON! Beth ***)

Here's my mom's female false perc, Cookie, checking out the real estate. Yeah, she and her partner, Bozo, set up housekeeping in the devil's hand coral...great stuff!! Beth ***)
