    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    I'm so torn up about this I understand that we want to keep all parameters at the "ideal" level. But anyone who does any chemistry in the real world ( i work in the enviro. analytical organic chem.) knows that in real life the ideal does not exist. That being said I would like my parameters...

    cal/alk and ph not sure if this is a problem in my tank...

    Alright, so I read holygral's thread, and did the "required readings" but i'm still a little bit confused. I finally got my salifert kits and have gone testing mad, which has opened up a new can of worms. I'm not sure if I should be conserned or lesse faire Alk-2.74 meq/L this is alright...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    alright so I finally drew a very crude idea of the set up. Sorry I don't know how to post the pic directly so it's an attachement. another question, how high do the walls have to be inside the different sections? or what does the hight difference have to be? is there any formula for this or is...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    yeah that would make sence, Okay, so would this work, water going into the sump/fuge intake chamber, the wall being the same height so water goes into both the fuge and some into the equipment area, and then baffles from both routes that meet up at the outtake pump chamber. At the moment I...

    So how many young clowns can you add into a tank?

    thanks Steve I was wondering if the Amblygobius rainfordi would be okay in a fuge, I'm planning on making a 30g fuge, it has to be "pretty" since I have no where to hid it, lots of different types of algeas, and was hoping that I would be able to put atleast one type of fish, that would't eat...

    Sump/fuge plans....will this work?

    I was also looking into starting up a sump, my problem is that I don't have any space to "hide" it so it needs to be a pretty sump/fuge I was wondering if this makes any sence, -I would have a small intake chamber and outtake, in the back on either side of the tank,( 20-30g) -then a chamber...

    So how many young clowns can you add into a tank?

    So the yashi is a no go, throwing out some other options okay So the boyfriend says no to the yashi goby( doesn't like the look and doesn't want the gobies to compete for bunker space) I kinda agree on the second point since my tank is tall rather then long. So I was wondering if anyone has...

    So how many young clowns can you add into a tank?

    hey Jeff do you think my high fin would get along with a pair of Yashia White Ray Shrimp Goby? or are they to similair? I've been told that my tank is to small for tangs ( 30g tall) I've read somewhere that rasing shrimp fry is very difficult, I think I read that the fry cannot touch...

    So how many young clowns can you add into a tank?

    I wanted to ask you, what other fish do you have in your tank with the gobies, as I now have one lonely and timid(the bolder one got chased out of the tank)high-fin, and I really don't want to add anything that will intimidate/make it's life hell. I'm not planing to add any other fish for a...

    So how many young clowns can you add into a tank?

    thanks for the replies I was under the impression that it was a bad idea, but I put it out there so I could be shut down, I thought it would be really neat though. In regards to the devil...I mean 6 line, well beautiful fish, a little *%$^ though, he decided that the entire tank was his and...

    So how many young clowns can you add into a tank?

    alright so I've read that keeping more then one pair of clowns is a noe no. But i've also read that if introduced young enough their will be 2 dominante clowns(m/F) and the rest remain as jueveniles. So I have to ask. I have a 30g tall with 2 high-fin gobies, I recently (2 days ago) added 2...

    Hi I've recently discovered that I really like zoa's, the way my tank is scaped I would like to have their finally growth place ( resting places seems a little inappropriate) on a rock that at it's highest point is 12 inches from my 150w 20k MH light ( only place where I can really stop them...

    looking for answers about Stonogobiops nematodes, so much conflicting info!!!

    okay so I think I uploaded this correctly, this one ( below) looks like it would be a able to hold it's own with my tiger. Although I think having a pair of shrimp would be much more interesting. I kinda which I hadn't picked up a tiger one :( I really like the randall's but i guess I'll be...
