Start off right, if you need to save money to buy the right stuff.... do it. Don't rush into a tank and cheap out on anything. For example, if you...
You are talking thousands. I just got into it last summer and it's very different. Overall, it's an overpriced PITA!!!! It can be rewarding though.
Yeah, but for the length, I don't see T5's that are more than 24 Watts. 30 gallon tanks are usually 30 inches long. I'll be holding off, MH...
I have a 29 gallon. So I know that for a tank of this size, sounds like what the OP has too, T5's only come in 24 watt bulbs. So for the OP to be...
I was thinking of getting one too. I have 130 Watts of PC lighting and was told that it's not strong enough? I was told to get T5's and it would...
I don't think it would get too high unless you dumped a container of baking soda in the tank. Personally, I have trouble getting the PH high and...
Good luck, they're a fun fish to watch.
No. Look up callochromis. I've seen a few different species at the pet store, but never got into them since I dont have sand. Mbunas seem to grow...
You can get some sand sifting cichlids if you go that route. They're pretty cool.

This is a recent thing, in the past 2 days I think. Defenitely seems like he has air in his system.
I got a purple firefish a few weeks back. Today, he's swimming very odd. It's like he's trying to keep himself from floating up. His head is...
I had a CPR, and it worked ok. I now have the eshopps and it works great. Less chance of failure with the eshopps. I would never go back to the...
Are blueberry gorgonians photosynthetic?
Is lighting even a factor? I thought they were not at all photosynthetic.
I started getting algae, bubbles all over the rocks\hair algae growing on my sand\rocks. First thing I did was to change my light schedule....
How old is your lighting and how long to you keep it on?
That makes sense that it releases toxins when they die. Something I never knew. I guess what you're saying is that when they die, they should be...
I've gotta ask, because I know very little myself. What do you mean by, they kill it and it wipes out their entire tank? See, I'm thinking about...
