Thanks for the replies! I have a 10 gallon sump on the bottom, and about 50-65lbs of live rock. I like the new list, should i get rid of the royal gramma? I know i really want a goby so i think i need to keep him and i want a pistol really bad lol Can snails and hermits live together, ive...

Alright guys im back and cycling the tank for a few weeks now, ive hit a lot of brown algae or diatoms, which i believe is completely normal right? The ammonia has been around .75-1.0 ppm for awhile. Alright so my planned stocking is not heavy, so here is what im thinking. Tank is a standard 55...

Alright guys its been awhile since i last posted but i now have a 55 gallon drilled sw aquarium and a 10 gallon sump. First off will this provide enough filtration? It has a protein skimmer, also can i add whatever i want to the slots inside? I wanted to add sponges, bioballs and live rock. In...

So when im ready to set up my saltwater tanks, can i set up my 20 gallon as a QT? And then just set it up as you would a normal tank. IE sand and live rock or do you just cycle it and thats it? So for liverock in the 55 gallon, do i just add enough live rock to make it so theres lots of open...

Alright so it sounds like it would be much easier to just get a RODI unit and wait until the fish from my 55 gallon grow out of that tank, then i will just make that the sw tank. So would 30-40lbs of sand, 60lbs of live rock and what type of light is good for easy soft corals? For RO water do...

Im in cape coral, any idea on where to check Im in the fort myers are, any idea on where to check that stuff out? Im aware all inverts are illegal lol, but i do plan on sneaking some small snails O.o What do you catch around you? Yea im against using live fish as well, much more humane to all...

Alright, should i cycle it the same way as a FW tank, so dose the tank with liquid pure ammonia, or just frozen foods like shrimp? Also does live rock technically instantly cycle the tank to a degree? Also about temp, do i need a heater? What temp do most sw fish prefer? I have some...

Can i do a hang on back filter? And does bacteria from a freshwater filter carry over to a saltwater tank or does it all die? Im sorry but what does FOWLR mean? I dont plan on doing corals, but if i did it would be stuff like polyps or mushrooms, so i wouldnt mind just getting a coral rated...

Sorry guys, lol its a bit more expensive to do large saltwater tanks :P I just want to know what to do with my 20 gallon haha :)

Unfortunately i cant do that, the other tanks are occupied by fish i wont give up. Anyways its not like im a newb at fish keeping, just a noob at adding salt to the equation lol
