The size of your QT somewhat depends on the size of the fish that you are going to be putting in there. It certainly doesn't need to be as big and fancy as your DT. Since the fish you'll be getting will be okay for a 90 gallon....maybe a 20 or 30 gallon?? I'm not positive though.....I'd refer...

Hello! Even though you purchased the clowns online, you might be able to take one of them to your LFS and perhaps get a store credit. I'd at least try it....either way you'll eventually end up with just 2 clowns anyways. Maybe they'll let you trade it in for some rock???

oh my! Corey, after reading your post I am soooooo glad that I drink water from the city! I had no idea that it was even possible that stuff could come from well water. My parents live near San Antonio, TX and have a well/septic system. Next time I visit them, I'm only drinking bottled water!

I battled with hair algae as well, you aren't alone! I had a Mexican Turbo Snail that really plowed through the hair algae on my rocks...sadly once the hair algae was gone the little guy starved to death. I've always read that feeding a variety of foods is the best. I feed frozen mysis and...

I forgot to add: I noticed that you said you were planning on building a stand for your tank....when you build the stand keep in mind the final weight of the aquarium when it's filled with salt water, rock, and sand, has lights and perhaps a hood. It's surprising how much a filled tank can weigh...

Hello and welcome! The picture you showed above is definitely a reef tank. It has numerous species of coral. I'm still a 'rookie' but I have a few bits of advice and hopefully I can help you a little. A 'reef tank' is a salt water aquarium with coral. The other salt water option is a 'Fish...

Hi Tiff! It's been a while since I've had the time to check out what everyone has been up to on SWF.com. I finally had a chance to catch up on your thread. Your tank is looking amazing as usual! How's the weather in AZ.....have you been tempted to jump in your tank and cool off with your fish...

It's kind of annoying that all of the employees in the shop only seem to care about the hardware of the tank and not the health and well being of the fish (Francis seems to be the only one that cares). The most recent episode was interesting, I liked being able to get an inside look at the ORA...

Thank you so much everyone for your advice! I'm embarrassed to admit it....but I eventually found a company that will move it for me for $150. After reading every ones responses, I came to the conclusion that I simply didn't have the equipment and manpower needed to do it on my own. The employee...

Hello! I'm about to finally move into our new house in 3 weeks. I currently live in an apartment, and our new house is about 10 minutes away. I have a 29 gallon BioCube aquarium. It's been running for almost a year now. It has live sand/live rock 3 fish ( 2 Clown Fish & a Fire Fish), snails 1...

Your tank is looking great Tiff! I haven't had the time to get on SWF for a while, so just now I was finally able to catch up on your thread. I am so glad that you got another Dog Faced Puffer! I really love your Porcupine too! Your tank is an inspiration :-)

I watched the first episode and wanted to wait and see the 2nd before I came to any conclusions. I think it's MUCH better than Tanked! None of the over-acting, hokey prank stuff, and ridiculous 'themed' tanks. Francis (the "fish geek") actually seems to care about the fish. I thought that the...

That's to bad that nano-tuners isn't around anymore :-( I could have used them for sure.

Welcome is25sp! I'm really interested in following your build process. If possible keep a 'build' journal on this site to keep track of your progress. I'm eventually going to be moving on to a bigger tank and I'm interested in learning everything I can :) Good luck!

I wish I could help! I'd love to have some metal halides on my BioCube 29. If you don't mind my asking, how'd you get a custom built canopy? I'd love one of those!

Hey Keifers! Sorry to hear about your troubles. I've been a little MIA lately, trying to wrap up the school year, prepare for next year, and oh yeah...buy a house. I can safely say that my stress level was probably never even near as high as yours was that day. Hang in there, you're a pro and...

I'd add pictures of my own....but nothing has really changed and the tank is still not all that exciting. It's still only 9 months and 3 weeks old. We are currently house hunting and I'm sooooo nervous about moving my little 29 gallon aquarium! We've also added the cost of a new tank into the...

Beautiful tanks Seth! Not nearly as gorgeous or sweet as your newest project of course :)

What type of lighting do you have in your tank? I'm planning a 150 gallon FOWLR (maybe 200 gallon, I'm not decided yet) and I'm wondering what sort of lighting I would need.
