I have never done much over a 20-25% water change. I was told not to do much more than that in a nano tank. If you do them weekly, or bi-weekly (depending on what is in the tank) you should not have to do more than that. Sorry if i did not answer your question, but that is the only answer i...

In my opinion the PC lighting is better because it gives off less heat. That is pretty important in a small tank. At least that was the advice given to me, and I have been pretty happy with it. I would post some pics for you guys to see, but my fish tank is away from me for a couple of weeks...

As far as i have been told, that temp should be fine for almost everything you have in your tank.. I run mine at about 80-82 and everything seems to be happy.

I guess what i am actually asking is should you have too much wattage for your bulbs, or have too little and run them under their suggested wattage level

For the lighting situation i want to run two 24 inch 75 watt VHO bulbs. I was looking into ballasts and found the workhorse series they have the 6 which is 140 watts, and the 7 which i think is 220. WHiich one should i use? OR if you can recommend anything else thanks sean.

yeah, i plan on getting rid of them when i get home from school this summer. There definatley isn't any algae. I was just wondering if there is going to be enough for the turbos to eat since i have no algea.. Will i need to replace algaed wiht sea weed or something like that?

well, i have the room lights, but the lights that came with the hood died and i can't figure out why. I do not want to get money invested into fixing that since i am going to have my new lights within the next month it gets regular sun light also.

I would have to agree with the ideas of diceman. THe tank is just starting to cycle unless all of your water, sand and rocks are from an established tank. HTH sean

I have three damsels in my 20 gal right now and they don't fight. I have a three stripe, a domino, and a yellow tail. The yellow tail even eats from my hand now. I am unfortunatley going to be trading them in after a while. BUt for now i love the little guys.

I was wondering what i need in my tank to keep mexican turbo snails. I was trying to figure out if my tank is ready for them. My tank has been done cycling for about a month now. I have: about six pounds live rock... soon to be getting more, money is an issue. 3 inches of ls 3 damsels, yellow...

i have already got my powerheads, i was worried about room too, but i think that there is enough room for me to get one on there, if not... i can always make up some kind of system... thanks for the replies all. -sean

Hey guys.... i was wondering if an emporer 400 is going to be too much water movement and fiiltration for a 20G tank? I can get a really good deal on it and if i can use it that will be great. I just want to make sure i am not going to be disrupting any corals or fish i put in there when it...

i do plan to add LR but for financial reasons it is going to have to be over a period of time. Thanks for the info. I guess it would have to cycle to take care of the ammonia and nitrates and trites. Thanks -sean

i am going to be starting a 90 gal fish only tank. I was just wondering what all i need to start a FO Tank. Is there any special sort of filter i need? Does it still need to cycle? If i go without LR should i use a DSB? Really any info you guys can give me on FO tanks would be great. thanks...

thanks for the info, problem with that is i am away from school right now and setting up a tank for the parents. I will get it figured out though. thanks guys.
