Is it a good idea to put frag tank at the bottom of the main tank? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any suggestion on running Nero 5 pumps on battery. Trying to prepare for power cut.

So true "last" on the must have list hahaha there is also a dream list :). So far I have following in my mind : one spot fox face Rabbit fish copper band butterfly fish Yellow eye kole tang pair of clown fish Bengii cardinal fish wrasses (may be)

Ahh make sense. I did ask them once why they use this over sand and owner said ease of maintenance. Now I get it ;). So I will stick with barebottom for now. Will add a bowl or basket of sand for wrasses when the time is right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha I love tangs but I don’t have 6 feet tank May be on my mid life crisis I will get 160/210 gallon tank lol. BTW do u know where to get the substrate that Neptune aquatics has on all of their tanks? Are they better than Fiji sand ? I m so on the fence of bare bottom Sent from my iPhone...

I meant I have CerMedia MarinePure 1.5-Inch Sphere Bio-Filter. Are this bad? Yes I was planning to order Red Sea Test kit (please suggest others; Hanna are bit expensive unless you think its worth it). I want to add Yello Eye Kole tang but she will go last as it is a Tang and she can dominate.

Hahah too late I am already in love with my tank. But my heart is broken many time :P so I am willing to take a stab at it again. Yes I am going to India after a long time.

Oh thats a nice thought. I could had some CUC once I have algae bloom. Alage will act as a food source and in turn I will some ammonia. I was planning to go barebottom this time. So instead I have 1 gallon Bio Spira balls for bacteria to flourish. I like the idea of getting coraline alage. I...

@rygh and @sfsuphysics thank you for helping (u guys are the best) but let me clarify a bit. - First of all I want to QT my fish. In past I have lost two designer clown fish and wrasses to ich and other parasites. So I am all for it. Infact I have setup a 10 gallon tank next to the sump for...

@sfsuphysics any suggestion for getting fish and QT?

Here are the instructions : The Process: Day 1 - dose ammonia to 2 ppm ammonia-nitrogen [NH3-N] using our ammonium chloride (1 drop per gallon [After Nov 2016 when using DrTim's ammonium chloride use 4 drops per gallon]) [NOTE: do not expect your test kit to exactly read 2 ppm and it is not...

No lights. I will monitor nitride as soon as it hits 0 I will change 70% water. Once I m done with it I was planning to get bengii cardinal but wanted to QT it for atleast 2-3 weeks. Is it ok for DT to be empty? Should I continue adding ammonia to keep the cycle or any other suggestions...

hahah make sense.... I didn't turn the lights but it does get some light from kitchen area. I will cover it with trash can bag to block the light. Thank you. At this point should I stop dosing Ammonium Cloride ?

Isn't high nitrates will cause alage bloom. I was thinking to change it so that I can skip the ugly part :P

Nitates are too High should I do water change ? should it be 20% or 50% ? This is 10 days later after adding bio spira and dosing Amonia using Dr. Tims Ammonia Cloride.

I got an idea to brace it with ratchet straps. That way it should prevent bulding and hopefully keep it from leaking...

I have waterbox stand and it is sturdy. So i guess I will order it worse case I will have to repurpose it for something else :). Thank you guys.

I have 10 1/4" width my only problem is one side its the wall and other side is the aquarium stand. If it buldge and puts pressure on the stand I might risk breaking the stand.
