    Possibly Starting A Saltwater/reef Tank? Lots Of Questions!

    Hi! Welcome to the dark side! Im not very experienced in SW so ill give as much info as i can.   Im not sure on live rock and live sand, ive heard 1-3" of live sand is good, and 1lb of live rock for each gallon, and SW generally i think 1.22 gravity is a good.   You will need a filter, i have a...

    Algae Wafers

    Im sure alasse would have much better advice than me since i never do it, i just scrub my pieces, soak them in water for a week and then add them to my tank, i think this is a good article to advise you on other options.  http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/driftwood.php

    Hitchhiker On Plants

    Looks like a Synodontis euptera, and even if it is not pretty much all syno species are quite similar, and many are hybrids. So yes its better off with out con-specifics, and wont be a problem for your other fish, but may be a bit territorial and steal some food but other than that you shouldnt...

    Algae Wafers

    Hi! Dr.Foster and Smith is a good place online to order wood, ive ordered around 50 lbs of Malaysian and Mopani wood, Mopani sinks much easier and is a harder wood, however they leak A LOT of tannins, my tank (180 gallons) turns brown every week after a water change, and has been doing it for a...

    Help My Oscar Is Dying

    Agreed with the above stated. Just remember, the normal rule for oscars is 75 gallons per oscar, so 150 for two and 225 for three, etc... And it looks like you have three or more in there, and these guys poop A LOT, so having them in an uncylced 55 gallon is certain death for them, even if you...

    Couldn't Wait Until The 150Gal Was Done To Buy These Polys

    Very nice looking polys! Be careful with the africans, it can work but i would definitely watch to see if the cichlids are picking on them or stealing all their food. :D

    230 Gallon Reef Tank.

    Really cool looking giant rock set up right there! I like the crate idea, do you leave them in?   And dont mean to hijack the thread, but should i make my rock set up more like that in my 55 gallon tank? I cant necessarily get behind the rocks easily, but i dont have enough room to spread them...

    Community Feeding/diet

    Yes im starting to see this, i may have to rehome my 3 angles and keep my 4 angels in my 75 gallon, atm i have 7 but they arent all together. Can i have a single angel and keep my 4 pearl gouramis, or do you think i would still have problems?   The angels actually dont seem to mind the geos, but...

    Hello Again Looking To Find What Type Of Fish This Is.

    I would use white vinegar to get rid of it, its harmless to fish as long as you give it a good rinse afterwards.

    Thanks for the advice, after hearing all these mixed opinions on them, i think i will stay away, seeing that i most likely will be paying 8$+ on each of them, i dont want to get a group of 20 and have it not work out.   I may try the cories, but the problem is the geos eat everything, top or...

    Community Feeding/diet

    Thanks for the reply, ive heard that roseline barbs are relatively peaceful, especially since im getting 12, so i think I might give them a try, especially since they will be a while after my angels, so they will be larger than them.    Yes i meant Ancistrus catfish, i dont plan on getting any...
