I've only ever used this in FW tanks, and So long as you have an ammonia reading then it will work, I've never tried the marine formula. But if you get an ammonia reading then add the Bio Spira, it will actually help to hasten the cycle. But from what I've noticed, if you don't have the patience...

What size is this tank anyway?

You have to figure with 6 fish you are more than likely get at least one pair. Or you hope so anyway! Plant that tank real pretty and take pics! I wanna see how it turns out when you get it all set up! Have you thought about plants or themes/biotypes that you want to creat yet? That's when it...

www dot the betta half dot com. or just go to my website through our profiles. It's betta based, but there is a whole section for all other fish. and saltwater. Later! ~Krys. I'm the site admin.

They don't get very big, about 2-2.5 inches. It's just that 10 gallons is too tight of quarters for more than one. You can --- rams actually kinda easy, when you look at the dorsal fin, the first few rays will stick up a little higher than the rest, like a mohawk, that's a male. Also, the...

I'm 26! I can still party like I'm 21 though!

Cichlid in a 10 gallon... hmmm. Maybe ONE blue ram. But that's about it, for a pair of them you would want at least 15 gallons. As far as the lighting, If you don't want to grow live plants then it's more than ok. There is no light requirement there. If you do want to grow plants then you are...

Thanks! It was a fun tank to put together, I just sort of put anything and everything in there to see if it would grow. It's been messed with and moved around so many times it's rediculous. I'm constantly messing with it. Makes it sorta fun though! Now the 75, that's no longer put together, it...

Here's some of my planted tanks... 30 Gallon Cube 180 Gallon Planted Discus Tank 75 Gallon Homemade seemless Planted tank 30 Gallon High Planted That's what you can achieve with good lighting and Co2! Not to mention a little high tech and a little fertalizers!

OK, this is easy and only takes a little minute of your time. Take a 2 liter soda bottle and make sure that it's clean rinse it well and let it dry completely. Drill a hole in the cap that it the size of the tubing that you will be using and then put aquarium epoxy around the hole and slide...

Well the cheapest is a DIY, and it's not too hard, I'll have to dig up the exact recipie for it. It's just a 2 liter soda bottle and a little bit of clear tubing, aquarium epoxy and a bubble stone! I'll type up the instructions and the recipie for the system. It's not pretty but it works very well!

Really cool! I loved it! Haven't been in a while, but it was really something to see. Monterey is an awesome city though, just that alone is a great area of Cali! Another area that I would recommend going if you get the chance is La Jolla, it's way south, but it's just a very interesting...

Firemouths are actually not that aggressive towards other fish, they do tend to have a tussle or two amongst themselves but other than that they are fairly non-agressive in the cichlid world! I love the FW dolphins, but I have to say that I would think that they are a little big for a 30...

Sorry about your Cardinal! That's a great tank! Love the Wrasse & Firefish!!

Most cichlids will rip your plants a new one, and I mean it! They are diggers by nature, some of the dwarf cichlids, like rams, apistos and so on are ok for planted tanks, but they do still dig. Severums will tear a tank to little bits.

I have seen Flowerhorns that reach 15 inches in size, but more recently they are bred to be a smaller fish, never reaching more than 12 inches. As small adults they are actually a little bit of a paranoid fish and don't like HUGE amounts of space. A 40 gallon tank would be good, but you would...

Yes I do keep freshwater, lots of it!! I'm venturing into SW for the second time after the first time was a poorly informed attempt. I keep African Cichlids, New world Cichlids, TONS of Bettas (I breed them, lots of them), Killifish, Any and all kinds of cats, and I have kept livebearers in...
