    how much water

    When I moved a couple of years ago I purchased 20 6 gallon jugs at Walmart for like $6 each, small price to pay. It is a lot easier to move than a 30 gallon trash can full of water. I put all my rocks and sand in 5 gallon buckets with a liitle water and my fish also in buckets. I would save as...

    Computer UPS as backup power

    They work fine, just don't plug everything you own into it. Leave maybe a canister filter or powerheads. I have used them for about 8 years on my return pump from my sump and a powerhead and I test every few months.I have plugged in a Mag 9 and it will run about 8hrs. so plenty of time for power...

    Emperor Angel - Ich?

    I hope I am reading this wrong,is the angel in a QT. tank or is he still in the 120. I would NEVER add copper to the main tank, not only will it kill all of your LR it will remain in the system and one day bite you. Copper works wonders in a small tanks with no substrate and rock.Good luck.

    Clown Trigger

    125 will be fine, my Clown is going over 6 years in a 125 FOWLR with plenty of other fish and never a problem, Just keep him well fed.

    Anyone who has Sucessfully kept Tangs!!

    What kind of Tangs and what size tank do you have. I have a Powder Blue and a Naso going on 11 years and not a single ick has been on either fish since day one. They are in a 125 and they both eat very well. I soak their food 3 times a week in selcon and vita-chem, the Powder blue's color is so...

    Ok what do you think about this set up ??

    I disagree with a 150 being too small for an Emepror Angel, I have one in a 125 FOWLR and it will be 7 years this summer.As long as he has swimming room and clean water he should be fine. Tank by the way is 6' long.

    Naso Tang looking weird

    I agree with the post above, most tangs will do fine if you take the time to QT. and feed properly. I have a Naso and Powder blue in a 125 going on 10 years this summer never an issue......

    tangs

    The clown trigger and lion have been together a little over 3 years and the trigger has never touched the lion.Most people have problems with this combo. As far as the PBT being difficult this guy has been healthy since day one and eats ANYTHING that falls in the tank. My tangs love the...

    Nitrate,Nitrite,Amonia - Remover in a bottle

    All that stuff in a bottle is crap. Only profit for stores. A simple WC will lower all those and its cheaper and healthier.Dont add chemicals that only stick around in your tank..
