Hey everyone, I posted a couple of weeks about which test kits are accurate and I found out that salifert is relatively cheap and accurate. Now I know not to listen to the LFS but he told me that salifert used to be better but now the kits aren't accurate and said that the company is going out...

are there any other types of fish that are relatively small and school? thanks

I was looking into the Blue Reef Chromis for my tank but just wanted to make sure that they would school. Do any chromis have a better personality than others? thanks

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this type of lighting ficture. if you have any comments or any warning I will happily accept anything anyone has to say. I was also looking into getting the 48" size.

Could anyone tell me how many watts of lighting you should have per gallon? or is it not measured that way? also I have pc's so if anyone could let me know I would appreciate it thanks.

ok well maybe i will stick with salifert then because that is what them seem to carry it at most of the lfs's around me. it seemed a little confusing but i did use it last a while ago so maybe i will understand it a little more now that i am more experiened. thanks

is hagan complicated at all? I've used red sea but I haven't heard of anyone recommending them or anything. also I have a couple of salifert test but those were a bit confusing and complicated. thanks

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the most accurate brand of test kits are? thanks

Hello everyone. I am interested in cleaning my buckets out with some bleach... the only thing is I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

ok well thanks for all the responses guys. Anything about the chameleon tilefish though? thanks

thanks any help is still helpful. I also have one more question.... does anyone know anything about a chameleon tilefish? It seems like a very interesting fish.

1. What is a good salinity to keep shrimp in? 2. Does anyone have any information on a Purple Lobster? 3. Would it be safe to keep a purple lobster with 2 cleaner shrimp? And maybe a pistol shrimp? 4. Is the lobster reef safe? 5. Do you need to qt shrimp/lobsters? if anyone has the answer to any...

I was looking into the Tunze powerheads (the nanostream ones), and I havea 75 gallon tank. so my question is would it be better if I got 2 of them that each have 660 gph or just 1 that has 1189 gph. I'm not sure if having both would be better or if it would be ok with just the one. thanks

ok thanks for all the information and I never use chemicals to fix anything in my tank I have read a lot of info (mostly on these boards) and know what can happen. but thanks again
