Anyone? I added a 20 Ibs bag of live sand in today. So there shall be plenty in there now for for those sand lovers. :)

Good to know about the substrate...Hmm. Well i will for sure add more, what if i added live sand slowly, say a few cups per day? Maybe that would decrease the spike a little? I'm terrified of disturbing the tank to much as i am still so new to this and the tank has been doing so well! But i do...

I was thinking cardinals as well, and even brought some in for the tank, but someone passing by saw them while i was floating them in the tank and bought them. haha After more reading up on them, apparently they will start to bicker and pick each other off slowly till theres only one or two...

The tomato clown is still in there, but will be gone soon, i may have a new home lined up for him. :) Seahorses don't really form to much interest to me to be honest, looking more fish. On my list so far are: 1 Firefish 1 scissortail dartfih OR 2 zebra barred dartfish 1 Neon Goby (or pair if i...

I love the Christmas Wrasse but they would jut be to big for the 30 i have... Its only a 24" square cube. so not enough horizonal swimming space hey? But yes!! I am for sure getting a fire fish, they are amazing always planned on getting one, havent been able to order one in yet. Any other...

Hellooo everyone!! So after a couple years of looking after a tank with only a single tomato clown in it, I have gotten the chance to totally overhaul the tank and start fish from scratch! Now this is a 30 gallon oceanic cube aquarium. I have over 50Ibs live rock, and 1/4 inch live sand. Some...

Why did that kill the coral? When i say i use the same for my reptiles, i only use tap water to refill their water fishes and what not, no chemicals or dirty water from them touches that bucket. :) Everyone i know of with both fresh and saltwater uses regular tap water for their aquariums, and...

I will test water parameters tomorrow, and will write down the test kit name and expiration date. I do know that i have liquid test kits in the back, but i think they are expired...And i use API strip tests, are they even any good though? :P Hahaha trust me I KNOW! There are so many things we...

Haha okay awesome, well its either T5 or T5HO, Not quite sure, will check tomorrow if i remember, and will try and take a picture with my iPhone, its been so busy this week for some reason and its only me out front looking after all the animals and people! haha I only have 1 fish bucket right...

I know all about the cycling process, this tank has been running close to 5 years now, but was horribly maintained before i started working on it, so have just been cleaning it up for the last few months. And like i said i have a strong powerhead in the tank along with the 110 filter to provide...

So i am working on a 30 gallon cube aquarium at the freshwater aquarium store i work at (aka i am very new to saltwater, but addicted to freshwater aquariums...) I have an aquaclear 110 and aqua clear 70 powerhead running, temp. is at 78. Approx 30-40Ibs. of live rock, 1 tomato clownfish and...

Thanks. :) that was my old dog Patches, he died a couple years ago, he was abandoned at 4 weeks old so was sick throughout his short life, but I loved him all the same. :(

Update: So I brought in a beautiful purple colt coral and it seemed really healthy... And then it was gone the next day, I mean nothing left- something must have eaten it! All I had in the tank at that one were 3 blue damsels, 1 tomato clownfish, 1 turbo snail, 4 trocus snails and one tiny...

So tomorrow is the day i am able to order in live saltwater critters. I have on my "shopping list" : Clean up crew: 2 Nassarius snail 2 Trochus snails 2 Astrea snail 4 Turban Snail Coral: Colt coral Flower Leather coral Devils hand leather coral green toadstool coral Do you think that will all...

1: I will try that out and see what it looks like, most people that come in are fasinated by the damsels and the kids love to see "Nemo" so as long as its all lisually appealing i will turn off the white light. However thats one of my main questions, can i get corral for my tank, i am very...

I will totally look into those, thanks! And out of curiousity are those nerite snails? They look identical to zebra nerite snails i sell for freshwater tanks- amazing algae eaters. I know that nerite snails prefer brackish water as thats the only way you can get them to breed, but full saltwater?

Tank shot afterwords, sorry it looks so horrible, i left out half of the live rock that used to be in there and just had time to stuff the rest in there with no plan on where everything was going. haha

OKAY! So basically i did a 25% water change, razored all the algae off the sides, took out all the live rock and scrubbed it down, i also added a phophate remover to the filter that i found collecting dust in the media bin and turned the timer to run the lights from 10-6. Before i did all the...
