pic from yesterday right after i added the rock, so it was still cloudy. i re-arranged the rock a bit and i think it looks great now. i do have one thing i am pretty sure it is aptasia. i will buy some joes juice tomorrow to clear it up

i checked my ammonia, nitrites and nitrates today just to see how the cycle was going, and shockingly i found ammonia = 0 nitrites = 0 nitrates = 20 i am not going to add a fish yet because i know the tank hasnt cycled in that short amount of time, and i dont want to go backwards in my cycle by...

I got all of my live rock in today and i put it in the tank. i bought 21lbs, which was a tad bit too much. i didnt use 1 piece, and i had to break a couple of the larger pieces into smaller pieces. on to the good stuff (hitchhikers) I found 2 very small LIVE emerald crabs hidden hanging out in...

i got the live rock in 21lbs was too much. i broke some into smaller pieces to get it to fit, but i ended up not using 2 pieces. i just looked too crowded. i think it might still be a tad crowded, but i think it looks good. i took a pic, but my sis in law has my card reader, so i cant post yet...

i have decided to get the maxi jet 900 and get rid of the bioballs for some media in bay 2. the cloudyness didnt clear up so i am doing those changes and getting an additional powerhead. i am not happy that the tank still hasnt cleared up nicely

so i shouldnt bother with the sand?

i have had my tank running for about 3 or 4 days now. it doesnt have any live rock in it or anything besides crushed coral and saltwater. i know the cycle hasnt started since i havent got anything in it the tank is an oceanic biocube 14g. i am doing the maxi jet 900 pump upgrade, and i will be...

finally got salinity level right. i think i lost count somewhere when adding it. now i cant wait for the cloudyness to subside. maybe after a day or 2 of not touching it will settle down. i am worried the oceanic filter is not strong enough for a salt tank. on my old tank i had a canister filter...

after a days worth of disaster i finally got my biocube filled with crushed coral and saltwater the tank was wobbling when i put it on the stand. i assumed the stand was bad since it was old, so i went out and bought a stand specifically for biocubes. 181 dollars later i get home to find the...

the differences are the number of dorsal fins, the eyes are different colors and the true percs have more black then occ. mixing those clowns are OK as long as they arent both female

29 gallon

one thing that surprisingly works when trying to get a clown to host in an anemone, let the anemone get settled to the point that it plants its foot. wait for night time (or if you can get your tank in complete darkness.) it must be completely dark, if you have moon lights on your hood, unplug...

be careful when adding a second clown if your original clown was in the tank for around 2 weeks or longer, it will probably have become female since it was the only clown in there. you cant have more then 1 female clown in the same tank. the way clown fish are, all clown fish are no gender when...

i was really mad at myself because my wife said i could bring it when we got married and moved in together and i didnt want to move it. i figured i would just get a new one eventually. i didnt think eventually would take more then 3 years. i gave the entire setup to someone she knew, only to...

thanks for the input. i do remember my LFS said it was for salt water it was 5 gal of water for every inch of fish (maximum size). since occ. clowns get up to 3 inches, i would need 15gal. since i have only 14gal, the 1 clown would be slightly more then max. i also dont have a backup for when...
