    Here are some pics I finally got. I also put some LR in the second chamber, but it still made loud noise so I put some bio balls back in on top of the rocks. Also do you guys think I should add a power head or is the current ok with just the stock? Thanks

    Water Temp Question

    Thank you all for the answers. I was kind of wondering about some of the answers. I have been to Hawaii and the water has been about 76 or so, and I have been to the Keys and the water temp was around 86 so I was wondering why that would be bad in an aquarium. Also the ocean temp changes a...

    Water Question

    What does it do to become a hassle? I thought that real ocean water would be better because thats what is in the ocean. Am I wrong? Do I still need to add salt? When I do top offs should I not do it with this water?

    Water Question

    What is the preferred water everyone likes to use? I bought all of my water for my 29 Gal at the LFS its Catalina Ocean water. That way I don't have to mix salt etc... Just put the water in and everything should be good right?

    Lighting Question

    Cool thank you all for the answers, my LFS guy told me that the blue is just to simulate sunrise and set and they should only be used 30 minutes before the white then 30 minutes after the white. Dunno maybe he was thinking I meant the moon lights :)
