sounds great! I guess I am not sure about what the bubbles should look like so I wont know where to put the collection cup. smaller bubbles are better though? Is the surface box thing worth it? I didn't get it, but was thinking about it. Thanks for the info

I bought an Aqua C Remora HOB protein skimmer last week(the one with the MJ1200 and drain fitting). It is coming via ups tomorrow. I have never used a protein skimmer before. I am completely green when it comes to them. Am I going to have problems setting it up? Is there any kind of break in...

lol, I felt kind of dumb getting a fake one, but I do not have lighting for a real one, someday!!!

would it be possible.... my LMB is the BIGGEST pig ever, he eats so much, and he is really fast during feeding. Could it be possible that the little clowns could not compete for food well enough? sorry I have so many questions, I just want to figure out what is going on! It does sound like maybe...

My protein skimmer comes on monday and so does my powerhead. I will probably order another powerhead and a refractometer, thanks for all the info! There is pretty good water movement on the top of the tank, and throughout. You can always see the fake anenome(I know, it's fake, but I do not have...

Well right now the tank has a hob filter that is supposed to be 350gph and one powerhead. I have a aqua C Remora Protein skimmer and a MJ 1200 that are going to be delivered tomorrow. The tank has the standard hood with a 50/50 bulb in it. Could the hood over the tank be restricting the oxygen...

also, the test kit I have tests the pH, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia. Should I be testing for anything else?

Ok I am officially confused now. I set my tank up a couple months ago (55 gallon 60lbs of LR and 60lbsLS, bottled RO water). I let the tank cycle(took almost a month) Ever since my water levels have remained consistent. Ammonia-0 Nitrites-0 Nitrates-always below 20, ph 8.2, SG 1.024-1.025. I...

that sounds terrible, I think they should stick to pets and freshwater fish. Taking care of saltwater fish is way more complicated than it looks, and the way ***** takes care of them are insane. It really should not be allowed. I felt so bad when I could not take that yellow tang home, because I...

Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help! The fish are doing better and the "whatever" parasite they had is gone. Even though they are just goldfish, I hate to see them that way. Thanks again!

I bought a new fish today at *****, and I will never go back! I'm thinking of writing a letter to the manager, or even their headquarters. They had a full grown yellow tang in with a large anglefish, and they were both at the top and very stressed out. I really wanted to take them home, but I do...

lol, thanks!

the stuff is called QuICK Cure, a fast and effective cure for tropical fish parasite infections, such as ich, etc. Ingridients are formalin and malachite green. Directions say to add 1 drop per gallon daily until cured. It didn't say anything about how long to keep the fish in the bath, so I...

I have heard that MH can increase water temps, therefore leading to the need of buying a chiller (another expensive piece of equipment!). Is that always the case? Thanks for the info, cleared things up!

also, I have seen "fixtures" that can hook on to the side of the tank or hang from the ceiling, anyone have experience with these?

any suggestions on brands that are better than others? I wish SWF.com had a better lighting selection!

I have a question about lighting. I currently have the standard strip light that came with the tank. I am going to upgrade to either PC's. T5's or possibly a fixture with MH's. I have a 55 gallon tank which is 48" long. Should I buy a fixture which is also 48" long? How many bulbs? Watts? It is...

ok, just re-read the entire thread, the fish are in a formalin bath, how long shoud I keep them in it? the bottle really did not say, it just said to continue the treatments over until the problem was gone.

I am using a formalin base product, do I have to add new water everyday, or just continue to add the stuff like it says for a week? Just wondering, don't want to overkill with this stuff.

that was awesome!
