I have found that moonlights can be a bit expensive but Dorm room blacklights are not. Will the fish and coral glow under a black light?

Quote: If you're just topping off water that has been evaporated from the tank, you want to use freshwater. Salt don't evaporate, and it can raise your SG levels if you keep adding saltwater I did not know this LOL Thanks alot Fatty

Quote: In short, you can skip the live rock thing, do no water changes and top off with tap water if you wish, but I am then applying to be your sole supplier of fish - I'll make a fortune until you become frustrated by your livestock losses, and quit the hobby. I enjoy getting all of the...

So beaslbob, you're saying its okay to top off with Water from the tap but not do major water changes? sounds fair enough So to my next question. I have my Tom RP output breaking water tension. where should i aim my powerhead and do i need another power head

Quote: I also did not use any live rock or live sand. Nitrates and phosphates dropped to zero in 3 weeks. I would save even more money by not using the canister filter as well. I also used untreated tap water and did no water changes. So basically you did everything ive been told not to...

Small short little progress, best way to go i think. Bare tank with the Tom Rapid Pro RP1 setup and running to test, Have the nozzle aimed up to break water tension. Bare tank, just running all the equipment before i start preparing stuff. Marineland Maxi-Jet (750 gph and up to 2,839 lph)...

Just a random Tuesday Update. Here is my tank before i sold the fish to my LFS (Barter, Trade and Support for/with the LFS is what this hobby is composed of). 17 neomultifasciatus from Lake Tanganyika, 40+ shells are gone. Cleaned up the Algae wall that I had left while the tank was active...

Thanks Flower, i appreciate all the help. 29g is unfortunately all i can go with. "Start small and build around it" has always been my motto when undertaking projects. Ive aimed too high and then went broke before i can complete my projects. BTW: the post that got me into this was...

Ive resealed my tanks (FW) with GE2 (Windows, doors, attic) for over 3 years. Reseal, put a fan to help dry it, and dont touch it for 2-3 days... its gonna be tough with Livestock already in though since it needs to be super dry

refugium huh? . I stayed away from planted FW tanks just because i have difficulty keeping cacti alive.... Can you point me to any posts about DIY refugiums? Thank god this tank is still in the planning fazes. What about equipment, does that look good?
