			<description>I'm trying to plan out what I need and how much it will be before I start my SW tank so I won't be suprised... The &quot;live sand&quot; that lfs in my area sell is at least $20 and I have a 55G tank... could be pricey... Do I have to buy that or can I buy sand from say Lowes or Home Depot that is a fine grit and will it still get populated by the bacteria and such?? Also, would said sand be harmful to sand sifting critters??

Any help would be mucho mucho apreciated    </description>

			<description>I tested my 180g a couple days ago and detected ammonia. So, doing what i always do, did a 25% water change. Over night the water turned into milk, and the ammonia was even higher. I freaked out cause all my fish were having trouble breathing and put them all in different tanks. Well, this morning i woke up and tested the water again, ammonia is literally off the charts. Thank god i got my fish out. But, can anyone tell me why a tank that has always been stable, just crash like that. And, why  ...</description>

			<description>Hey all, Ty for any help given.

I was wondering, since I want to run a FOWLR tank with the starter fish list that nitty gave me (Surgeonfish (tangs) 

Rabbitfish

Clowns/Damsels

must smaller Wrasse

Anthias

Hawkfish

Dottybacks

Blennies

Gobies)

Do I need to have any circulation pumps, like Koralias? If so, do I need a wave maker too?

Also, I definitely want at least 1 clown or a mated pair of percs.. Should I or could I put a anemone in a  FOWLR tank for them? 

Thanks guys.

PH-7.8ppm

Ammonia-0ppm

Nitrite-0ppm

Nitrate-5ppm



So I know I need to do a water change....to get those nitrates down to 0 but.....is a 20% okay? And I stick to the 20% how often should I do a change? 



A little bit about my tank.....



I have a 92 gallon corner bowfront tank...with a Fluval 405 filtration I also have a large powerhead.

			<description>Has anyone watched the documentary named &quot; The Cove&quot; or the one named &quot;Sharkwater&quot;? If not, you have to watch them both. The cove is about the killing of the dolphins by asians, and sharkwater is about sharks being killed for their fins. My wife and i give money to both causes and hope others might do the same after seeing this.</description>

			<description>Completely changed my 180. Took out a bunch of rock, added some new fish. I now have two lion fish, a baja stingray, a marble shark, clowns, and other little critters running around. Also, finished the 24g nano reef setup. Gotta say it looks sweet. Somehow i got a 175.00 sun coral for 25.00, can't beat that. Will post pics when i figure out how.</description>

I am concerned that ammonia levels are going to rise because my cleaning crew is missing spots.

Should I just stir up the bottom or use the vac?

Also, how often do I need to vac my tank bottom?

I'm thinking of doing a tank with mostly corals and stuff and possibly one fish.... some relatively hardy stuff to start with.

I need help deciding on a good tank size, I have 10, 20g, 20 long or 30 available for this. I will probably go the cheaper route and seed base rock. Not sure when this will happen but I would like to know how involved a tank like that would be. I'm sure I  ...</description>

so my question is, do i HAVE to get the coral lights for the anemone or are the lights i have good enough? they are pretty high wattage...

<br />

<br />
5 Turbo Snails
<br />
5 smaller snails (can't remember the name)
<br />
1 cleaner shrimp (who likes to be hand-fed)
<br />
1 sand sifter (even though he is on my glass right now)
<br />
5 hermit crabs
<br />

<br />
Everybody seems happy and I already notice a huge difference on the front glass of my tank.

			<description>Found a 24 gal nano today with stand and everything for 100.00. The catch was, the ballast was bad. Instead of paying 80.00 bucks for a new ballast, my wife and i gutted the hood and put in LED lighting. It looks great. We got the blue and white, 12 bulb count LED's for 117.00 at Dallas North. It looks great for the price. Will post pics once it's cycled and all coral added.</description>

			<description>I had a problem with this so i just wanted to post for people new to salt water.





Cycling a Saltwater Marine Aquarium





Unlike most freshwater fish, saltwater fish are very sensitive to water quality and the presence of chemicals such as ammonia and nitrites. As a result, it is a bad idea to set up a saltwater aquarium in one day and toss fish into it. Some fish might survive, but there is a good chance that they won't.



When a new saltwater tank is set up, it must provide for the filtration  ...</description>

			<description>So, I have been planning on changing my 110G FW cichlid male show tank to a SW tank. I really am just interested in a fish only setup with lots of rock for places to hide. It's a 110T with a overflow to an acrylic sump. I have bio balls, and mechanical filteration now. What else do I need to have besides a powerhead. Is a protein skimmer essential for a fish only tank, or necessary? Add biomax, or ceramic cylinders? any input helps!

<br />

<br />
I think I am ready for my first salt setup.  With guidance from Obi Wan, aka Nitty, I think I am ready.  I told my wife worst case scenario we will have a really big FW tank.  Keep me in your thoughts the next week.  Looking forward to the HAS auction Sunday.  I will be there by 11, leave around noon, and then return after our church deal.  Hopefully I will be back before 2.  ]]></description>
