I just wanted to give the water some air. I will take it out before I have fish in the tank to avoid any of the bubble accidentally getting into their gills. For now, its not making a mess, just keeps the water moving. I also got my second power head in, 1050 gph..that thing is a BEAST! So now I...

I am closer and closer to ordering the Octopus skimmer.

Thanks for everyone input on this topic! Ordered the Aquatic Life yesterday! I am also going to start a 55G build thread for anyone thats interested in following along! https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/388982/55-gallon-build-thread-will-need-some-advice-tips-along-the-way

So about 4 days ago, my angle fish got ich, and I only had one tank set up. I did not have a QT available. I knew that I was going to upgrade eventually to a bigger tank, and when this happened I totally took advantage of it, and decided to start up a 55 gallon for my display and convert my...

What about something like an Aquaripure Nitrate Filter? It costs about 230 dollars but after doing some research i found out that it works as a skimmer and a UV sterilizer and is almost like doing a 20G water change weekly. Seems like its worth spending an extra few bucks and getting something...

I have about a $100 budget for a skimmer. I was actually looking at the Octopus BH 100 one. It doesnt seem overly big and alot of people like it. Thanks for all your feedback guys!

So I have one item to buy for my 55Gallon, and its the skimmer. As always, I want to get a good one, but not a really expensive one either. I know that its an oxi moron in saltwater hobby, but there are good skimmers that are not overly priced just because of the brand name. Here are a few...

Just placed an order for the Linkable Aquatic Life ones! Hopefully they come soon! Thanks for all you advice guys!

The 4 bulb Aquatic Life is a bit of a $$$ tag. Where can I find the linkable fixture that you guys are talking about?? I am not having luck (maybe I am not looking right)

Thanks for the feedback. I looked at that light when I was researching and alot of people didn't like it because of poor quality. Flower, what type do you have? I would like tO take a look

It's a 55 gallon, 48 inches.

Yea I am very new to this hobby, so I wasnt even aware of linkable fixtures! Yes hopefully she reads this post and gives some advice! Thanks for a quick reply!

Thanks guys! He got Ich last week, so I am in the middle of treating him by hyposalinity! He still eats like a pig tho

Also, I have some of my equipment in the QT that I am not sure if I need in there. I have a protein skimmer (biocube brand for tank up to 30G) powerhead, filter and heater. I know that I need the filter and the heater in there, but what should I do with the powerhead/skimmer? I could use an...

I am looking around the internet to find some good deals on a T5 Fixture, and I find myself reading a bunch of mixed reviews about brands. Here is my dilemma, I am not 100% positive if I want to have corals and such later down the road when my tank gets established, but I also dont want to get...

I just read through this thread, and got tho the last page.... RIP Chuck. I have never met you, but you seem like you were an amazing and good giving person!

How do I keep my pH under 8.0? Is there something I could add? (buffers?)

Beth, thank you. I will start the hyposalinity treatment today. Just so that I am doing the right thing, I wanted to verify some of the steps. I have to lower the salinity in the QT to 14ppt/1.009 in 2 days by fresh water changes (I will use DI water for this procedure to ensure the best water...

Yes, my current tank has live rock. I was thinking about filling up my new tank and putting the live rock in there and cycle it, which would leave my current tank a hospital tank. I also have about a 2 inch sand bed..what should I do with that? And the clownfish are healthy and not showing any...

Hi, My beautiful yellow fin angel fish has ICH. Since I am new to this hobby (2 months) I wasn't able to detect it at first when it happened. I think it strated about 7 days ago with one white spot near his gills, and now has spread all over the body (lots of little white spots) and his fins. I...
