  1. Wet/dry Filter question pt. 2

    Hey all. I received my wet/dry filter with pre/filter yesterday and got it all hooked up. (It was definitely a pain to try and siphon the water through that tube.) I know that this will greatly help the filteration in my tank but I am a little confused about the bio-balls. I will first tell...

  5. Sump or wet/dry filter question

    Hey all. I just upgraded my tank from a 29g to a 55g. One of the pieces of equipment I was told I needed was a wet/dry filter or sump (which I am guessing they are one in the same or at least I am hoping that they are). Because of the info I received I purchased a Pro Clear Aquatics Premier...
  6. To buy or Not to Buy....

    Wazzel, I havent seen the tank yet and I am betting that it is longer than it is tall. But, from what the seeler has told me, he said it was taller than it is wide so I will have to see. Gary, Living in No. Va, I do venture over to Wally's ona regular basis since it is...
  7. To buy or Not to Buy....

    SnowManSnow, Currently, I know that he is currently using it for Freshwater Oscars. The type of pump he is using is unknown to me. I still have to check it out for myself to find out further about the lighting, pump, etc. In my 29g I have a JBJ lighting system with both...
  8. To buy or Not to Buy....

    Whats up all?! Recently I have been hit with a proposal to buy a 55 gallon tank w/ stand, light, pump, & heater from a friend/co-worker of mine for a cool $200. Now, my question is, since I have a 29 g already set and trying to get the live rock settled(meaning to acquire the corraline algae)...

    Thank you. I will be checking out to find a nice affordable price on one of them. I have a second question in regards to lighting.

  12. Protein Skimmer for my 29g tank

    Hello all this is my 2nd post. I am looking to get a protein skimmer however I do not know what size or kind to get. I was looking at the Remora C but it appears to be too big for my 29g tank. Are there any suggestions of what kind to get for my 29g tank. I would like something that works...
  13. Am I on the right track or set for total destruction?

    Gretzky: Thank You. I will hold off on getting the corals and anemones. I was thinking it was too soon anyway since I havent reached the coraline algae stage. I have no idea of the alkaline, calcium, & ph link. I feed the fish 3 times a day (it ranges from frozen mysis shrimp to formula 2...
  14. Ick? Please help!!!

    I would recommend a product called "Kick-Ich". I have a 29 gal with a maroon clown, a cinnamon clown, a royal gramma, & a cleaner shrimp (recently acquired). Once I added the royal gramma to the tank, i noticed a couple of days later that he was covered in white spots. It was recommended to...
  15. Am I on the right track or set for total destruction?

    Thank you for your insight. I will definitely stay away from the UV sterilizer. Also, I think my fish are okay...for now. They are not scratching themselves on the rocks anymore (at least from what I've seen). Also, I will look into getting a Protein Skimmer. Correct me if I am wrong, a...
