I have an anenome hermit and he can't catch the shrimps. I have them for a while now. and I guess it depends on how big your tank is too. Mine is 150g

thanks for the advice. I will put my new fish in my QT first for a while until the nitrate is down. and will follow your advice to stocking it slowly. I guess I will wait a little while before I will add the rest of the fishes.

thanks for your input. I have a ASM G3 skimmer, and my nitrate level is at 50. I will have a water change today. I think the high nitrate was from the not completely cycled rocks I bought from a LFS. He said it was ready. and I thought my calupa will absorb some nitrate. but I will do a...

My tank is 5 ft long, and here is a picture of it with the rocks. I am planning to get the fishes small. but the blue face and queen angels are some of my favorate fish. And I think my clown will be OK, since I am getting some bigger clown and they are coming first. One question. my nitrate...

I have just set up a 150g tank with some lr and ls. I am running a refugum with UV and chiller. So far I have a few hermit crabs, 4 shrimps including a couple of cleaner shrimp. and 2 feather duster. I am ready to add fish and would like some suggestions for the fish that I want and the order...

I think your bio load is fine. since you have all these live rocks. i think everything else is fine except the gobies. If you get a trigger you are just taking your chances. I had trigger in my tank with shrimps in it. And it was fine. Good luck!

but the fish is doing fine right now and I don't see even one dot on him. Will hypo stress the fish? And I think the reason the clowns die because of the source. I will try to order my fish online now. I think most of the LFS in my area bought druged fish. Tell me if I am wrong. someone...

I have recently set up a QT as everybody advise me to do so. soon after I got a couple of clown fish and I recently bought a little blue tang. The clowns has died. but the little blue tang looks OK. However I did seen him trying to scratch the rock a few times and had a couple of white dot...

I am confused. I just set up my 150g. and on my starter fish, I found ich, So I set up a QT as you guys suggested. Now I would like to know how low and at what Temp to do the Hypo. I have a digital salinity tester by JBJ. I think that device is pretty acurate. Now just want to know the...

I have the same problem with high nitrate. I have a new set up and have a ecosystem. but some plans are dying. Is that the reason? Mine is about 50.

Snail: There is no hole between #3 and #4. the # 4 bottom has about inch opening at the bottom. Yes, I don't think you can just put the sump under the tank. I have to remove a piece of wood in the back in order to put mine in. By the way. I scan the manual already. Let me know if you want...

Snail: If you pump water directly into the refugium. then I water flow will be too strong for it. I think that's why they have the mud in chamber #2 so water does flow from chamber 1 into 2. instead of pouring right into the mud.

Snail: that's interesting that you want to have the sump in the middle, can you tell me what the benifit you see? As for the bulkhead, I think the bigger the better, unless you plan on having two different one coming from the tank. Regarding cost, I spoke to the LFS which they custom make...

The 36*12*18 is going to be pro 3612. it requires a flow rate of 1000-1200gph, now. If if is from ecosystem. It will come with a ASM G1X skimmer in chamber #1. Mine came with a G3. And it works wonderfully. I can go make a copy and get it to you when I go to my office tomorrow. The...

I just happened to set up a new 150g tank and bought a ecosystem. If you want, I guess I can fax you the manual, that has the diagram and a lot more info. that you might want to know. Now, regarding the flow rate, it recommond 1200-1500. if you run a 1000, after all the plumbing, you will...

Thanks alot for your input. It will be a fish only tank, but thinking about getting a couple of anenome to host a couple of clown. I guess it would be a mix of both. I would like some hardy corals. One more questions. my LFS sell their water with very low salinity. about 1.017-1.018. What...

what do you suggest for good quality salt? I am thinking about a 24 nano cube, I have find a spot for it. So no additives at all? I see people have nice colorful rocks by using some of these additives. i am interested to know. another question, I was reading another post, people keep saying...

I want to get some opinion on what kind of trace element or what to add to a fish tank to provide the best living condition for my fish. Has anyone heard or used Sea Lab block before. I read on the label, however it has all kinds of metal in in, copper,iron,Nickel, Tin and Zinc. Are they ok...

I have just set up a new 150gallon tank, and bought the ecosystem. It recommend you to use a skimmer, and the one I bought was the Pro 3616. which comes with a G3 skimmer in the 1st stage. It does need a skimmer, at least that's what it said on their website.

Thanks for all your info. I did get the clown out already, I think I will consider setting up a 10 gallon or so QT. I had one before this new set up, but didn't have a good spot for it as it turn out with algae in it all the time and the home for my 2 damels that I got for cycling the tank...
