Thank you Bill, Ray and Lenny - I was reading some of the links that Lenny provided especially the “drip method” one. I think my biggest concern was ‘how to you keep the water the same temp’ during the acclimatisation period.. You really can’t place a heater in the water when the fish […]

Up for sale is a complete 55 gallon Reef tank system. Including all the lighting, filters and other components you may need. I recently dismantled this system because I was moving and needed to downsize tanks. All components are working and in good condition. No livestock included. […]
Your tank should be cycled after 2 months, but then, an addition of ammonia should have been eliminated within 24 hours, unless perhaps the dead fish were not removed immediately which may account for your getting a reading. Then too, if this load had tended to be higher (organic waste breaking down at a […]
Hi Jasmine, Since my waters are so different from LPS, I use the ”drip method” and here’s how I do it. First, float the bag as Ray just mentioned. Next I use a plastic box from “Sterlite”, it holds roughly 3 gallons of water. It measures about 16″ long,5″ high and 12″ […]

I have a pictus in my community tank, the only fish I can notice that she doesn’t get along with is my Chinese Algae Eater. Other than that, she’s fine. I don’t have any problems with my pictus. I also have some Emerald corys and they don’t conflict with the pictus either.
