bump?

btw, its a 24 gallon nano, and I'm currently running a mechanical sponge, ceramic tubes, chemi pure and bio balls. Might be able to remove some of those components if I got the fuge up and running properly.

Ok, so I underestimated how much I was going to want to tinker with my nano. I originally bought it because everything is included, but now want to do something new without buying a new tank! So I came up with the idea of making a cabinet/stand next to my nano with a 5 gallon acrylic tank with...

alright, I'll be patient and sit back for a bit. I am working on the design of something to upgrade my tank abit. Will be posting the idea in a while.

All the tank paramters are normal. My pH is back up to 8.2. Otherwise everything is at 0. SG is at 1.024. I don't know if it was the tank necesarily, since I was told the orinetal sweetlips wouldn't last longer than a month by everyone (after I had already bought it of course), he was on about...

well the sweet lips passed while I was at my bbq. I went ahead and changed three gallons of water, and added some buffer to bring up my pH. Updated livestock list: 5 nassarius snails 5 blue legged hermits 4 turbo snails 1 flame shrimp 1 emerald crab 1 torch blue clove polyp colony colony of...

Yeah, I guess thats another thing I need to add to my list of things to set up. I originaly thought a QT tank was more or less for people with big expensive tanks (which I'm starting to realize small tanks doesn't mean not expensive! as I've already found). After I figure out what to do with teh...

Do you have any cats around? I know alot of people with Koi ponds, where the fish magically disapear that are about that size, and it tends to either be cats or coons. They are a bit sneakier than frogs, lol

Well. unfortunatley I may not ever get to the point of having to address the sweetlips. I found him this morning laying down on the sand. Turned on the lights to see if he was just resting, he started swimming around, but just looks lazing, and is off balance. Its been a week since a water...

sweet thanks, do you dive locally or internationally?

yay, decided on a picture for myself. That was when I was scuba diving in the cook islands last year. Anybody else scuba?

I would imagine they can feel the vibration of you walking into the room. Is your tank on either a raised subfloor or are you on a second story or higher?

thanks meowzer, can always depend on you for a response :)

I got coerced into an oriental sweetlips recently but a fish store owner with bad advice. I've purchased copepods to keep him eating regularly, he won't eat sinking pellets. Otherwise I feed him the occasional brine shrimp. Its been three weeks and he's still alive, but I've been paying close...
