We finally have fishies Tank never really cycled though we're not surprised based on the fact that our live rock was already in a established tank. We bought a T5 light (not sure name off hand has four bulbs, 2 white, 2 blue and a built in timer) as the lights we had were going to be useless...

Nothing to advise on this (as I know nothing about sea horses) but just wanted to say I've been following your thread and I'm glad to hear your little guy is doing better

Most likely only fish. At first it was a definite only fish but as we've had time to look and read we may do some corals very far down the road (talking after the summer at the earliest). Stock list: 2-Perc Clowns 1-Royal Gramma 1-Sixline Wrasse 1-Bicolor Angel (if we get corals he'll have to...

We test the water every three days at home and log it and then our local mom and pop saltwater fish store (NOT the one that advised hairy rocks) checks it once a week for us, nothing so far either place so far . We've used all this extra time to figure stock list and read up on best foods for...

After four weeks with nothing I'm pretty sure we're going to get no spike. If nothing in another two weeks we're going to have to go buy a fish, the rocks and snails are getting lonely without fish I think...

The tank has 40lbs of new live sand, meaning we bought the rock from a existing tank but we bought the sand still sealed up in bags from our local saltwater fish store. I have a feeling when I tell the people at the store that the other company advised me to buy algae covered rock they are...

Ok, thanks. Knew better then to walk into petland just because my local saltwater fish store was closed, thought it sounded odd but then I don't know anything about this as we just started. Like I said stupid question, sorry to bother

Hmmm that came out wrong I think. I was told that the rocks that are in there will not support the diets of fish that "graze" so thats what I'm kind of looking for, if that makes better sense? Although as of right now I guess I don't have any grazing fish...or any fish. But I never got any...

Hi all, We recently set up a 55g FOWLR tank that has been up and running for 4 weeks this sunday. Our live rock (70lbs) came from a tank that had been up and running for years and is still up and running the guy just sold us his extra stuff. ANYWAY in four weeks we've tested and tested and...

I'm actually sitting in the same room with it and I saw the post I had to turn to see if it was on. I can't hardly hear it but I'm in the house with it and may be used to it, but I can't recall that it was ever loud...kind of a low hum I guess

Sorry guys got sidetracked getting the second movement pump, (Koralia 3) buying the stuff to put together a sump etc. Have done some checking on the skimmer and found that will do fine for now which is good :) Heres the picture I said I would put up Meowzer...

Originally Posted by Flower and welcome, Your lights are just fine for the fish. The only question is if a fish can jump out of the tank. How closely fitted is your hood? I had a 55g with the clowns, here is a list of my stock back then: 2 clowns 1 lawnmower blenny 1 diamond goby 1 very small...

I realize that and I thank you for taking the time to try to help out I'll get a picture of this and post it for you tomorrow. Thanks again Meowzer

Yes, sand rock and sw in the tank now, lights are off and the movement pumps in each corner. Yup have test kits as well.

No corals are entering this tank. Probably not ever, if this works out for us we intend to upgrade to a bigger tank in the future at which point we may do corals but not now at all. As for fish we were thinking five plus the cleaning guys was all, we just didn't know what to put in there with...

no no no not at all that way. there is no glass or anything at all like that not in the least the lights don't "sit" on anything they are mounted inside the lid. They sell this tank at petstores yes but its not a FW setup at all...this isn't going to be able to be explained I guess. I'll have...

SW...Hippo Tang, Two Clown Fish, Damsels. Oh it was cleaned then recleaned The lights were replaced by us and we got new wheels and such for the filter. As for the 1/2 and 1/2 thing .... picture two 27 1/2 (I know it doesn't exist ) pushed up side by side. The way the two tops would look...

I'm blind meowzer. It's a Hydor Koralia box that says 1 on the front of them both.
