Hi thanks for all the replies. The cube has a skimmer with it. I was afraid of the cube for seahorses because it doesn't have a sump. I would really like to have the extra volume to add a little forgivness and also a place for copepods to populate. I am great with maintenance and daily feeding...

I kow abot mandarins. I learned the hard way :(

Hi I recently upgraded to LED on my reef tank and I traded my T5 to someone for a 29g bio cube. I want to sell but my expensive better half wants to start a sea horse/mandarin tank. After letting her talk me into it I did some research and see that the SG has to be around 1.019/20 so I can't...

Hey so still no fishies huh? I was out of this thread but I see where some people were confused about wasting the life of a fish. I don't think anyone would ever suggest that, just a little bit of confusion.lol Anyways the guy is probably more of a fan of acrylic tanks. Acrylic can be polished...

PJ Cardinals are also very hardy. Chromis are a schooling fish, best to buy a few of them. You can add these at anytime though. I had 5 2 died got another 3 and I still have 6. They're cheap so I grab a few when I get water. Good luck man. I'm hoping for success!!!!

Oh I didn't see the response to the mouth. I studied them pretty well yesterday. They do move sluggishly, but I do not recall seeing a mouth or at least details of the mouth.. I also agree with the statement, when in doubt, throw it out! Which will be the case if I don't get clear answer.lol

No one knows what the white moving worms are? I want to know if they are good or if I should remove....

I've read also that maroon clowns are pretty mean, I have a small black clown who is pretty daring. When my hand goes in the tank he comes over and tries to nip me. I used to think it was funny until someone told me that when it gets bigger he will draw blood. He appears to be the "man" of the...

Yea, agreed, chromis are "supposed" to be hardy. I think for what he is doing the chromis will work our good. I have been following this thread and after all he has done and re-cycling etc, etc. He is ready for fish pending another water test before he buys. If all test go well, chromis would...

Thanks everyone! I am super excited too! BTLD your husband help me along when I was going to build my own and then right when I was ready to bite the bullet and buy everything, this Light was given to me. When I go to a bigger tank I will be buiding my own light, tho! It's an Aqua Illuminations...

Do you supplement any of your food with garlic? Garlic is more of a stimulant for appetite but it also aids against ich. The reasoning behind that is the garlic soaked food in eaten by the fish, then this garlic is in the fish. Apparently it gets to the skin of the fish, similar to how we sweat...

Well I have been on an LED craze since I saw the Aqua Illuminations SOL LED setup at a LFS, a few months ago. Well my fiance got this light for me and gave it to me early. I was going to build my own LED fixture but this came sooner. After hours of reading reviews and PAR that this light gives...

Ok so after searching vermitid snails I came across a good site that has a lot of pictures of different hitchhikers. In this page I found somehthing that closely resembles picture 3 and it is called a spionid worms.which appear good. The main concern now is whats the moving worm things in my...

Sorry forgot to mention that yes #1 the worms do moves. They move up and down that column there. I figured 2 are pods of some sort. #3 appears like tubes that they go back into and hide. I would have thought a mini feather duster but they only have 2 tentacles that move around.

Good to know! As my tank is maturing I'm noticing more unwanted critters. I believe it is a type of flatworm, it's tan/biege color with spots of black and black small tentacles on the head. I don't think he will bully too many fishies in my tank, my clowns hold their own and show the chromis who...

Yea go for a few chromis, after a week or 2 get clowns or another type of fish, if all is going well!

Ok I have heard a six line wrasse will do some serious work on unwanted pests in the tank like worms. What is the deal with these fish, is this true? I have been getting several weird flat worms around my tank that are starting to become an annoyance to me. Does a six line wrasse cruise around...

Ok so here is the suspects in questioning. I have circled in red the things that need ID'ing. The first one here is a bunch of worm looking things on the overflow baffle side of my tank. The second one is of a bunch of mini shrimp looking bugs which are only in my overflow area. Last pic of...

I agree with Bang, lots of conflicting answers when it comes to this hobby. 40ppm nitrates is not great but it's also not horrible. Several months ago (months after original cycle) My nitrates spiked to the point it was blood red instantly on a test kit. About a month and half of big 33%-50%...

Hey looks awesome! Where are you located in pompano? I'm a neighbor just south of you in Ft. lauderdale. I would love to see what you have for sale and also get to see your build!!!!
