over the last few months, I've been getting CA buildup on the air port of my skimmer (ASM) venturi. Usually I soak it in vinegar for a few hrs to...
I use to say the same thing....until I gave in and switched to T5s about 3 yrs ago :) I did miss the shimmer of my MH, but got use to not having it...
Yeah, I'm even thinking of bumping it up to about 72-74, but slowly. Lol, I hear you, my first tank was 5 pieces of window glass my dad silicon...
Thanks. Yeah, he was very excited about setting up the tank and feeding the fish, he knows we can't overfeed so he count pellets to make sure we...
Picked up some live plants and black background for the tank yesterday...and of course Spongebob and Patrick. We bought a goldfish about an hr...
I switched from MH to T5's a few years ago. I don't have a fancy fixtures, I'm running 3xWorkHorse5 ballasts with one sheet of polished aluminum...
Thanks guys, but he's getting a small goldfish (the fan tail ones, not sure the name) in the 5g Fluval Chi, as he grows and the fish grows, if he's...
Maybe a controller and a reliable return pump (or pumps). Down the road, depending on your maintenance availability, maybe a CA reactor or a good...
Hey Thanks...a boost LED over this tank would make a cool pico. lol I have to admit, I'm not really into FW tanks but seeing how excited my son...
I picked up the 5g Fluval Chi for my kid, it's up and running. In a few days I'll take him to to the LFS to pick out a fish. With a few minor mods...
What would lead you to believe this would be the only tank he would ever have? You probably just got into this hobby so I'll let you slide and leave...
Dude, find yourself a girlfriend....you take fish way too serious, he's 4 not 14. I've been into aquariums before you were even born, I think I know...
sounds like you wouldn't need to top-off too much. If your sump is acrylic you might want to drill it and run a float valve (like one from Kent),...
LOL...sounds like it's time to get him an AC Jr. My son is the reason I setup my current reef after being out of the hobby for a while, he was into...
Yeah, the glass is clear but for some reason I can't get my camera to focus well through it. You're done a great job so far with the build....just...
Thanks for all the responses, I was thinking of picking up one of those 5g kit tanks at Petco and just have 1 goldfish. I probably don't need a...
so our 4yr old son wants his own tank....a reefer in the making, but for now I'm thinking a small freshwater tank with one or 2 goldfish. It's been...
Ok, RC is cool but a bit too busy for me, I can't keep up. lol. I'm tuned in, can't wait to see some coral in there. I have a hard time taking pics...
I feed my tank frozen mysis and cyclopeez a few times a week. I don't target feed any of my corals, they pickup whatever they can in the current. I...
My dad and I kept a FOWLR tank for about 3 yrs when I was a kid growing up in South America. We got all the rock, sand, fish and water directly from...
