    play sand for bottom material

    depends on how much sand u want in your filter... some sands will mix more with water then others.

    pics : Blacklight + tank = cool

    lol yea i really was bored and trying to think of what lighting i want and what would look cool. needless to say i remembered i have a black light. i knew the glow in the dark ornaments would light up, but i did not expect the coraline algae to as well.. looks pretty cool. Anyone think the glow...

    Lights

    yes and how many watts per gallons do u need? I have the same question - am using 4' regular flourescent 40w lights in a garage lighting setup. I am looking to upgrade, but dont know how many watts to use in my 75gallon tank. I dont want to buy too big a setup if it isnt needed..

    Salt

    i think the instant ocean dissolves faster then red sea. I dont know if there really is a difference in what the companies produce other then you dont want phosphates and nitrates, which most say they dont have on the bag.

    Yea, I am definately not in a hurry to add fish. And I have read posts about catching damsels. You end up removing most lr and ornaments and stirring up the whole environment. Should I get a biozyme? I added the proquatics bacteria starter, and the seachem prime, and buffer.. anything else i...

    pics of my tank in cycle

    a 75 gallon. the formula i heard for waterflow is that when u add all gph, from your filter, powerheads, and protein skimmer, and divide that by the gallon size of the tank (im my case 350 + 590 for the 2 maxi 1200's and i think it said 50 for the skimmer divided by 75), that should be around 15...

    Temporary QT Tank

    he isnt talking about just settin it up with fresh water. He is talkin about using the established water from a different tank from what i understand. Could you simply keep a spare filter, and a 20 gallon sitting in a closet. And at a moments notice, fill the tank with water from your main...
