I assume you mean a sponge prefilter? Yes, you can clean it, but don't run it under tap water. Instead rince it several times in old tank water (the water you take out when doing a water change is perfect).

Originally Posted by gharner is it possible to cycle a tank with just using live sand? yes and no. LS will not trigger a cycle, so you'll need something in the tank to decompose. You can add fish and let their waste do it, but that's generally frowned upon as it's hard on the fish, often...

I think every tank needs a heater. It won't run unless the water cools, so why wouldn't you want one... even if it's only a precaution?

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Shooting through the curved glass of the Aquapods makes things a bit more difficult.

I like the marineland heaters. Look for something in the 25-50watt range.

Thanks. It's an old Sony point-and-shoot... a DSC-S85.

well, in an ideal world it's always true. But in bigger tanks there's more tendancy to overstock. At least from my experience that's true.

you never have to do a sump or skimmer. Basically it comes down to responsible husbandry of the tank. Don't overstock, don't overfeed, do your water changes and you'll be fine with LR/LS and good water flow.

Are you talking about the all-in-one style tanks? If so, the tanks themselves are pretty much ready to go right out of the box. You'll need: - salt - water - heater - live sand - live rock All that is available through this site. If you have a decent local fish store (LFS) near you, you can...

I only have experience with the aquapod (12gallon), but from my experience and what I've read, they are pretty good systems right out of the box. They can be made a bit better if you tweak them just a bit, but the tweaks are easy and cheap, so generally worth the time/money. Heat can be an...

The tank is just a little over 2 months old, so I took some new pics last night. It's hard shooting through the curved glass, so not all of them turned out. Here are some of the better ones.

I feed flake once a week and mysis 1-2 times per week.

wow, that's some great info... waaaay more than I was expecting to get - thanks. I've tried spot feeding my zoos mysis, but they've never showed any interest. I'll try some brine in the next couple of days. I'll also pickup some sort of plankton additive, as that seems to be all but a staple...
