    Saw a Gorgeous Tank

    I have the 92 gallon corner tank by AGA. I am really satisfied w/ it. The amount of view space is great concidering it takes up only a corner. It's cycling right now but here is the pic I shared w/ the board a while back.

    cycled tank added one fish ammonia goin up

    Did you test and see a big ammonia spike after the five days? I think puffers may excrete more waste than most fish. Anyone know? I thought I read that somewhere a while back. In a good cycled tank that's not overstocked that shouldn't matter anyhow.

    Damsels Digging Up Sand

    Yeah, salt does not evaporate so you don't want to add it to replace evaporated water. Just try not to ever let your water lever get too low as salanity will increase.

    Damsels Digging Up Sand

    Yes, you need to add water as it evaporates. Just make sure it's fresh water (RO/D) as the Salt does not evaporate out of the tank.

    cycled tank added one fish ammonia goin up

    Hi Frogz, Did your ammonia ever spike when you had the shrimp in for five days? I think you may have needed to keep the shrimp in longer than five days for an effective cycle.

    Here's my first real tank

    Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, you're right about the Damsels. I didn't think about how hard they are going to be to catch when it's cycled. The LFS said they would buy them back, but with all those caves I built in there, that's gonna be fun. It'll be like the war in afganistan. heh...

    What is it?

    If I remember right foraminiferan is a protizoan (Single celled organism). When they are young they are near the water surface and move downwards as they age so I don't know how long it will live. They can get somewhat big if I remember right about 20 cm or so down deep. I think their...

    Told LFS they're full of S?

    Quote: " i give this site and message board address out all of the time at fish stores... during general conversation... friends... family... but somehow or another... most of them i see frequently seem to think the LFS advice is best. Oh well!" I think too many people don't want to take the...

    new tank ordered, problem

    Update, It turns out I was freaked out for nothing. What looked and felt like a 1-2 inch small crack in the bottom corner turned out to be some kinda of epoxy spill shaped like a crack. When I took a razor blade to it, it rubbed off. Talk about a sigh of releif and at the same time...

    new tank ordered, problem

    Yeah, you're right, the weight will put a ton of stress on that. Thanks for the input. I think it's more frustrating than anything. I had to call the shipper and now file a claim, take pictures, ship it back, and wait for the new tank to get here. I guess that's where patience is suppost...

    new tank ordered, problem

    Hello again, I ordered this 92 gallon corner tank online and it just came today. After inspection to my horror I found a very small 1 inch crack in the glass on the bottom. Is there anything I can do to fix this w/o shipping it all the way back to New York for replacement. Thanks, Ben
