no room for a fuge, thats why i have the canister. :)

fantastic. which specific model is best for my 40 gal? thanks sooo much for this info - this damn seaclone is REALLY LOUD, lol. and it isnt doing anything either..this thing is very finicky when trying to get it to bubble. been at it for 2 days and still nothing lol. anyway, so what's the...

can you be more specific? is the Octopus BH-100 SS quiet?

excuse my ignorance, but what is a mated pair? also, at this point i think my biggest issue is my skimmer. i have a seaclone 100 which is entirely too loud for my taste, and ive read a million reviews about others and they all seem to have one guy saying ABC Skimmer is great and another saying...

i need a skimmer that is relatively small (it is going to hang over the side not the back...my tank is pushed up against the wall), quiet, and works. im willing to spend up to ~$250, the MOST important attribute is that it is quiet, because the skimmer will be literally 15 ft from where my ears...

yeah im getting that impression (that seaclone sucks), so im thinking of maybe the AquaC Remora Hang-On skimmer..anyone know anything about it? i hear it is pretty loud....i really just want a skimmer for under $250 for my 40 gal that is QUIET, because my tank is 4 feet from the foot of my bed.

this skimmer seems a bit loud to be honest...what are some thoughts on this thing? this is for a 40 gal tank, and it would be coupled with my eheim professional II 2026 canister filter. if your opinion is that this protein skimmer is awful, please suggest (and link too if possible! =) what you...

this onslaught of "we're here to help" is somewhat redundant. i understand that, and that is why i am still posting, lol. =) so if we could be more specific in the advice, and avoid flaming me, what are the issues with the following, what do you recommend i take out, or swap with something...

cant send pms for some reason. email? and also why would a store dupe me to make a sale of some fish? if i needed a bigger tank, what would that mean? i'd have to buy one. and more water. and more rock. and more supplies. they would make far more money if they told me what you've been...

crimzy, you sir, are a genius. and to all of you who for whatever reason think i am now the spawn of satan, heed his words. the whole "im going to do what i want to do anyway!" thing does not apply, my original intention has changed dramatically from start to finish. and im not finished yet...

meowzer, here is a prime example of this notion of "doomed newbies" if you havent already seen it: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/340442/new-40-gal-tank-which-fish-to-put-in lol.

see? this is the bs im talking about. way to be constructive. and you are hilarious in your assumption that i do not understand that a lion eats other fish. gee, does he? wow i didnt know that, god im just so dumb i dont know anything! i dont even know how to wipe myself! im just so stupid...

only reason i am somewhat angry is that people like mboswell are condescending to the utmost degree. as meowzer pointed out in his post "Doomed Newbies" https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=340884 it is really irritating when you get conflicting information from various sources...

its a 40 gal, not a 20 gal. i have a canister and a skimmer, heater, and solid lights. i've scratched the dogface in lieu of the valentini. im sticking with the fuzzy dwarf though, and will make sure he eats in front of me before i buy him. other than that im doing a dwarf flame angel and a...

ahh, there's that predicted childish response......why am i doing this you say? because i did plenty of research and know people who have done this and it worked. i even know someone who had this exact setup, and it worked for 3 years before he upgraded his tank. and the reason he upgraded it...

so here is my updated situation: i have opted to take the route of "the only way to learn is to make a mistake." i have decided to knowingly walk into that which may be a mistake. im putting a fuzzy dwarf lion, a couple of nemos, a dogface puffer, and maybe a couple of others, likely one...

what colorful fish? wrasses and gobies are far from colorful. they are essentially just guppies to me. and as for setting up a coral tank, what else would that involve? i'm just assuming i couldnt possibly do that with my current setup. that would mean i would need more stuff, which means...
