Hello everyone, I just added a gold striped maroon and plan on getting another this weekend. Can I add a white striped or does it have to be another gold striped ?? Or can these be together at all ?? I know clowns love to pair up, but all my LFS tell me not to pair these clowns up because of...

Well what he gave me was a small bag with brownish dirty looking water. Probably about a 4 cups or so if I were to measure it. I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. I'm going to just cut down on my lights to about 8hrs a day while i'm gone. I haven't tested my water yet (i know its sad). This...

So I got home last night and noticed my rocks were a brownish color. Is this the diatom that i'm always reading about when starting a new tank up ? If it is should I throw some hermit crabs in there or will it go away on its own ?? ANY input is good input. Thanks in advance

yeah I wish they would have sold that 5 years ago. maybe they did, I was just too lazy to search the internet. do you know how hard it was for me to find a replacement light for that tank ?? I had to travel about 40 miles to get a used one from a lfs (not so local to me)

I also has this problem my 12 gallon jbj. I took out the back compatments where the built in filter is, gave me some extra room in the tank. Then I took a small hacksaw and cut the top of the tank about 7 inches so I could place a hang on filter. Then I added an internal filter, one that was...

Any suggestions on if I should wait since i've gotten some beneficial bacteria from my LFS, or if in your opinion I should be alright to put the clowns in the tank ?? Its been up and running for 3 weeks now, only 2 weeks since i've put the live rock in.

Tank looks great !!! Its came a long way since you started back in January. I did read all 50 pages while at work.....learned alot of tips !!!

So I have the tank running, powerheads, hang on filter, 10lbs of live rock. CC substrate. Coralife T5 lighting, 10k bulb and actinic bulb. When I get back next Friday, i'm going to add another 20lbs of live rock. How soon can I add the 2 percula clowns that i'm wanting ?? thanks

Hi all, I'm in the process of starting up a 38 gallon tank. I finally got my salinity levels and water temp. to the correct levels. I'm going on vacation to Florida this week, so I decided just to get some live rock (10lbs of live fiji rock) from the LFS. The guy who owns this store is...

I had a 12 gallon nano cube about 4 years ago. It was my first saltwater tank and I had plenty of fun with it. But as Katiebug said, the bigger the better. I outgrew the tank because there was so much I wanted to do as in corals, fish etc. etc. I'm in the works of putting a 39 gallon tank...

Has a 10k bulb and a actinic bulb. Does anyone have a personal review of this ?? My LFS told me this is all i'll be needing because my tank is only 38 gallons. They also said I could stack them to get more light later on down the road once I introduce corals into my tank. Would this be...

Well I don't think the heat will be that much of a problem. I can always re-direct the air away from the tank. The lights that I just purchased were Coralife T5 Dual lamp fixture. Came with a 10k lamp and a actinic lamp. LFS said it was a pretty nice light for what i'm trying to do.

I'm getting ready to set up my 38 gallon tank and I have a concern on where i'm placing the tank. The tank will be in our basement, the main viewing room for the family and guest. As with most basements, its kinda chilly in there in the summer as the AC vent is down there. My idea of where I...

Thanks for the input !!!

So when i'm browsing for yellow tangs and it says small, I take it that its small right now, but eventually will get larger ?? So how many fish do you think I will be able to put in the tank "comforatable" ??

Hello, This is my first post on SWF.com and i'm trying to get some information about how many fish I can get into my 38 gallon tank. I had a 12 nano cube as my first saltwater tank, and I had 1 clownfish, 1 purple pseudochromis and a small black and white angel (dwarf). Since this is my first...
