Mine was a b***h to catch. lucky I don't have that much in my tank. I would try the 2 liter idea.

I know this is kind of an old post but I have to ask crimzy if the filter pads worked? I have a seahorse tank and it is starting to grow this slimy brown hair looking stuff. I think I may have the same problem as you.

A guy who owns a fishstore around me said he used to have a mated pair of seadragons. I looked into them. I dodn't think they are illegal but they are very expensive.

crap!! To small!! It is a pegasus with my kids names under him.

here is mine I hope it turned out!!

Ok. My mandarin eats frozen but I also like to keep plenty of pods for him also. I got one of those plastic critter ceepers you see people keep spiders and dry land hermits in. That cost about $3. I drilled a few more holes in the side of it but a little bit of sand in the bottom and a ball of...

Personaly I think you will always wish you had gone bigger. I agree with the others. Go with as big as you can afford. Remember you are going to have this tank for a long time so if you don't get the fish you want now you can always get it when the fish you have go to the big fishy heaven in the...

A blue hippo need a min of 70gal and a yellow tang needs a min of 50gal. You need at least 4gal of water per every inch of fish. A Blue hippo gets about 1' and a yellow tang gets about 8". This equals about 80gal. Thus not leaving any space for any other fish. If you keep in mind the 1in per 4...

I have only had the seahorse for about a week but they are very wonderful little guys. They love to ride any current in the tank. They chase there food all over the place. And I was amazed by them the other day. One got stuck between the thermomiter and suction cup so the other one swam over...

It is so you will only have a small cycle nothing like your first one if at all.

If you are going to put the LR in your tank I would wait on the cleaners. Wait a few days after you add the LR and test the water if it is not off then go ahead and order and if it does cycle wait till it is ending up and order.

The stuff from this site is cured but die off will occure during shipping thus causing ammonia. depending on how much good bac. your cycle created you may not but if you did it would be mini.

YOu can put the new rock in a separate container with a power head an let it cure or you can through it in your tank if you don't have anything living in it yet but yes you will experience a mini cycle. Probably not as long as your first but your tank will have to cycle the die off.

I use the bulbs that came with my light strip. They work great.

I recomend to acclimate both expecaly the clown. To be honest though I never aclimated my inverts except my shrimp and emerald crab. Someone told me I didn't have to. They are doing fine but I may just be lucky.

Glass. Totaly agree with top post. Plus glass is cheaper.

I started on a hair brain idea. I still have much to learn. And I mean much. But I like to help were I can. I will let you know what I have. I have what some would call a primitive set up compared to others on this board but it is running just fine. I have a 75gal FOWLER 2 hang on back filters (...

By the way. Welcome to the boards.

I have a hang on back filter. Like the bio wheel kind. I am wanting to get a refugium though. Or if I were you I would get a wet/dry filter and use LR rubble instead of bio balls or if you do go with bio balls clean them regularly in salt water or you could develope nitrate problems.

To start off and just cycle your tank. You need to start off with this. Tank stand heater sand or substrate some rock (All of it recomended so you don't have another mini cycle if you add more) filtration test kits You can start your cycle with this. Cycle will take anywere from 2-8 weeks...
