I appreciate it.

My new lfs in town encouraged me to set up a sump/fuge for my 37g tank as I wanted to get rid of my Eclipse biowheel and has been very helpful in the process . I do have a question I wanted to get opinions on :help: , though. Because nothing is compatible with the Eclipse hood (nothing will...

Or a wet/dry filter? They look to be similar to a sump? At any rate, water goes thru filters, then a sump, according to description. Tidepool or SFW has a ProClear? Any thoughts?

For a 37g FOWLR, what would YOU recommend?

What about a canister filter?

For now MH lights are not in the budget. I like the sump/refugium idea, but my tank is not drilled, and my biggest fear is a flood because something fails (any design ideas to keep this from happening?)! So for now, until I can afford big upgrades (until my DH says "wow! Let's get...

I want to change out my filter system...presently have an Eclipse biowheel. I have a Prizm skimmer which, without mods, will not fit with this hood. I would like to change out my lights (PC's for now) and cover, put in the skimmer, and get another type of filter system. Of the various types...

It's a 37g Eclipse. The hood is solid with lights at the front and biowheel at the back. Other than a sump (this is definately too complicated for me), what other options do I have? (ie. different hood, lights, other filtration)

Have yet to install Prizm skimmer...I'm hesitant to mess up the hood (it won't fit unless the hood is altered). I also really don't want to see the skimmer. I've seen many suggest sumps to put the equipment like the skimmer, heater, etc. in, but don't know where to start. The diagrams I see...

IMO I've done a lot of research and have come up with a list of possibles for my tank. I'm not going to run out and buy them all or all at once. I want as much feedback from ya'll as I can get! I have a 37g tank, Eclipse biowheel, 12-15lbs base rock, 25lbs LR, 40lbs sand, Prizm skimmer...

Thinking she was doing a good thing, my sister brought me 3 sails, 2 red legged hermits, a cleaner shrimp, and a scarlet crab. I thought this was all she was bringing, but she surprized me with the horseshoe. I hadn't planned on this one. He's cute and all, but everytime he tries to swim, he...

I was wondering the same thing...ie. do they live off the waste or supplement their diet?

Based on previous advice, I believe my tank has about completely cycled and I am almost ready to add fish. I already have 2 clowns in a temporary tank, but I was previously advised to add my cleanup crew first, which I'd like to do. Problem...??? My tank is almost pristine! No algae...

2 angels in the same tank? Is that just for smaller tanks? SWF has an alert by all their angels, and I understood two angels in the same tank will fight, usually til somebody moves out!

OMG! I just removed the shrimp...or what was left of the shrimp! Through the tank glass and on the bottom of the tank, it looked like an intact shrimp. But when I finally got it out, it was pink mush! And the smell was horrible! 3 days in warm saltwater...if my tank survived THAT, there...

Thanks!

I have to agree wholeheartedly! My experience with the only lfs with saltwater (until a new one opened here about two weeks ago) put a very sour taste in my mouth. Of course, the first one...the one I was using...is a pet store...dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and fish. For a while everytime I...

My test shows pH 8.2 total alkalinity 180ppm total hardness 400 ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate 5ppm Except for the pH test, the other is just a dipstick test. I'll take a sample in tomorrow to double check everything. Every time I tested with this before changing things, the nitrates always read 0...

Ok, then. Assuming it continues on it's present course of nothing, how long should I wait before reintroducing my clowns? I don't want to jump the gun, but they are presently in a 3g tank with water changes 2x weekly to be safe, and I don't think they like it. They really want in the cup I...

I know I am comparing different tanks and their cycles, but is this normal? I restarted my tank 8 days ago with new almost everything. Fed it fishfood 3 or 4 days, then added a raw shrimp Sunday. Still nothing. All my tests are ok, no cloudiness,... nothing. I've given tank info before...
