    I am ready to move my QT fish back to my display tank and wondered what the practical way of doing this was. The salinity and temp are the same in both tanks. The tanks are right next to each other so can i just net the fish in there or should i bag em and float them like a new arrival? any...

    QT Questions

    I have had a QT up for about 2 weeks now which I have 2 fish in while I am redoing my main tank. My main went through a mini cycle so waiting for that to finish. I used the water from my main tank in the QT originally. As far as filtration I am only using a powerhead. How often do you do water...

As you can see I have my fish in the QT next to the tank. I currently have 2 201's powerheads and...

The lighting which is pretty old is a 12" fixture which uses a T5 12" 8watt bulb. I was wondering if i could change to another fixture or fixtures...

    thermometer position

    This may seem like a silly question but i am asking anyways. Does it matter whether a thermometer is positioned horozontally or vertically? Because I have had mine mounted veritcally but want to move it towards the bottom of the tank and mount it horozontally. Would that affect the reading? My...
