Alright so some im moving my tank to a different location in the house and im using this as an opertunity to clean up some mistakes I made as a rookie. Im replacing some sand and I want to give my LR a good scrubbing. Would it be alright to scrub the rock in FRESH RO water? Not salt water? And...

what size is the fish? prob 2 1/2 inches.

Would a rusty angel be okay in a 10 gallon for 2 or 3 weeks? Im moving a tank and he should just be in there for a week, I hope. Im adding some more live sand and Im going to watch the levels of my main tank for a week after the change. So im just asking if he would be alright in the ten gal...

thanks for all the info. Ill check out those skimmers you named

i think you want to turn the tank over about 30ish times. 20-30 I think, somewhere in that ballpark. So that being said 2 maxi jets 1200 would be 2400GPH which is 32 times. I would do just 2 mxi jets, bc then you would probably have low flow sections, like I do in my rock.

Yeah i have one koralia, I like those because they look good and they have a very sturdy mounting system. I have a cheap one that will just slowly move to where its pointing in the sand.

Ill see if I can get a small power head at the flowing behind the rocks. And maybe 2 koralia 2s.... I have 2 maxi jet 1200s just sitting around from a previous tank but just one of those in the 29 and the sand goes everywhere.

I have a 29 with a good amount of rock. Its been a long time since i read up on diatoms but I believe they can come with lack of flow. And the only places I have diatoms is behind the rocks. I see most people with their PHs up top. Do I just need to get some more power heads? And what are some...

Which skimmer should I get? Ive heard some bad things about the sea clones. How are the red sea prizm skimmers? This is going on my 29Gal tank. No sump, so hang out the back skimmer only. If theres a better skimmer out there, let me know. thanks

suck up with what? Do you think one of those gravel vacums would work? I might try that. The ones on the glass do look like baby turbos. They seem harmless, havent seem them on corals, and the corals are growing fine. Im also haveing skimmer problems right now...well, I havent had one for about...

Ive been wondering, my mom has a freshwater set up and shes got food for her fish. But I was just wondering would freshwater fish like my saltwaterfish flake food? and would it benefit them?

do the snails come out at night when there is no light? I get small looking snail things on my glass at night, they are probably lurking in the rocks... is there a way to get rid of those things? and let me guess I just have to scrub all te "cob webs" off? ha sounds like fun.

I have cob web looking things all over my rock... ever heard of this? I could get a pic, but they look exactly like cob webs, and thats not hard to put a picture in your head. thanks for any help

I bought an ARO ballast and fixture(with bulb) about 2-3 weeks ago, it worked fine. One day I thought i noticed a crack in the bulb so I bought a new phoenix. I havent ran the light itself for about a week and now my ballast is making a wierd noise, it sounds like a sound of electricity that...

50 posts or not.....can I see a pic of the skimmer?

i thought the #2s were 400gph? or is that the #1 i am kind of interested. Why did you replace the propeller?

T5s would be enough. I dont know about for SPS. But would definitly be enough. PC lights just dont cut it. I have a 150W MH light over my tank, I plan on somehow making a mount for my 2 T5 lights. It would bring me up to 198Watts. enough for SPS and clams. But I have seen guys with a 29 and only...

nice tank. Its up to you if you want more rock. Ive seen some tanks that I really liked that didnt have a lot.
