I want to upgrade my lights for my 55 gal reg tank to the 4x96w sunpaq (I know $$$$$$$, hubby says ok). I currently have the hood the tank came with that holds 36" lights. When I order my new light system, do I order the 36" system, or do I need different system size?? The answer may be...

Thanks....I'm not going to put one in, I was just wondering.... This hobby is sooo addicting. My husband, who was against my getting a tank at all, now wonders why I only got a 55 gal instead of a 175 bow front... I told him, maybe next year..

I have not commited any tang crimes, and I was just wondering, are there any tangs at all that I could put in a 55 gal regular? It is not a 55 long. Just curious..

Sorry....wrong forum. I will post this elsewhere.....Today is hair coloring day...:D

This morning I found my small perc in the overflow box! :scared: I scooped it out and put it back in the tank. Do I need to get it a therapist?? I think this happened because I miss timed my lights. I have the moons going off about an hour too early, so the little darlings are in the dark :eek...

Thanks Snipe I appreciate your help. I think I will wait until this weekend, then I will just put in 10lbs. The LR that I started with from my LFS was cured...atleast that's what they told me. If by chance they lied :mad: and I put in uncured this weekend...I can take it out, put it in a...

Thank you for your help.:)

My tank has been through its cycle a few days ago. I added the 2 pers the following day. I did a partial water change last night, and I was wondering if I could put more LR in today. I will do my tests when I get home tonight. WHen I started my tank, I put in 40lbs of LS and 23lbs of LR the day...

Thank you for responding so quickly...I have 23 lbs already, and I would like to put in another 20lbs or so tonight. Do you think it will be a problem. The only fish I have in the tank right now are 2 percs. Kriss

How much LR can you add at one time before (if at all) it will trigger a cycle??

I am trying very unsucessfully to get this dang built-in overflow box set up. Right now, I have a hanging one, but I really, really want to use the built-in. The problem....either the fittings are too big for the tubing, OR the tube fittings won't fit securely into the bulkhead. I have a "if I...

Are these going in for cycling or what? Ophiura - Nope, already cycled with LR and LS. I am ready for the fun stuff now.. THe LFS is off of Beechnut. I think you know the one I'm referring to. I love their selection fo fish. dmc888 - false percula clownfish and then some green chromis...I will...

My LFS told me NOT to buy the blue or black damsels because they are agressive and hard to catch. I'm not too worried about having to catch them (that's what my kids are for). My LFS said to stick to the lighter colored ones. But, we want color!! Any suggestions??

My LFS gave me for free 1 of the bulbs (I'm not sure what it's called) I know that that one costs around $30. THe other is a 10k h/intensity FL bulb, which I got for 20% off!! I was missing some parts for the built-in overflow box, so maybe they took pity on me, and helped me out.

I have had my tank set up since Tuesday night (2/15). So far, this has cost me $1,158.00 including LR and LS. BUT, I am having fun...:happy: I am going to take my time and put things that I really really want in.

I just started my 55gal tank. I posted a pic of my tank on day 3. I have 40lbs of LS, and 23lbs LR. I also have decorations in there for the kids. I plan on removing them as I put in live things. Please let me know if you guys see anything that I have in the wrong place, or if I have something...

I just got back from a LFS where I bought 23 lbs of beautiful Fiji rock. Oh my goodness, I love that store. I have never seen so may saltwater fish in my life!! The fish are priced reasonable for me. BTW, I am not a he, I am a she.....

$3.99?? Sounds great, but I bet you get wonderful rock from those beautiful California beaches. Hopefully I won't get stuck with "wonderfully cruddy" Galveston rock....hehe

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. At my LFS, it seems that $5.99/lb is the average. Does that sound about right??
