I just started with Salt water tanks and I have a 12 Gallon Aquapod. I've found that it is not much more diffucult than fresh water, just a lot more detail and precision with SW. This is a List of what I have in it: 12 Gallon Aquapod - $150.00 (after tax) - LFS close to Apt. 16 Lbs Live...

Thanks Sadie!! This will come in handy later on if something like this happens, and I actually have my tank full!!! :thanks

Thanks!!! Where can I get that battery back up thing for computers?? Clean up crew is Almost all snails and 4 hermits. (3 blue leg dwarfs, and 1 red leg

Ok, so my Power company is going to be doing some Maintenence in the area nad the power is going to be disrupted!!! They don't know how long! Will the clean crew be ok without a Powerhead running or anything going?? If not, what can I do before tomorrow, to be sure they will be ok?!????!?!?

Thanks for all the tips guys! I have had my tank up and running the cycle by my readings and my LFS readings is over (well the initial one anyway), so I did the water change and everything was zero, added the clean up crew 2 Blue leg dwarf hermits, 5 cerith snails, 2 Margarite, 1 turbo named...

also just to clarify, I am not adding anything anytime soon, I want to change the water and see the trates go down and then wait another 2 weeks or so to add anything. Although, can I add my clean up crew yet? The algea in the tank is really not something I like looking at.

So my parameters on Ammonia and Trites have hit zero :group and the past 3 days have stayed stable at zero, now my trates are up and I know to get them down I need to do a water change. SOOOOOO I mixed up the water and salt and it has been sitting for about 2 days now, do I need to heat the...

WOW!!! That is crazy! My LFS prefers you bring a water sample in before he sells you any fish or ANY Coral!! If you don't want to do that it Voids the return policy.

I went to a computer store and bought a 60mm fan (cost was like$2.00) and screwed it into the hood, where there is a mounting spot where another fan goes but the Manufacturer did not include the fan. I just removed the slats, with a scalpel(sp?), just to get more air flow, because on mine I...

Nice! I just got my Aquapod and I think it is great for a Starter tank! I also did the 3 Large pieces. just a suggestion, run the light to see how hot the temp gets, when I got mine I was running 86-87 while the lights were on, I added a fan to the inside since there is room for another one, I...

As for Tracking your testing I stumbled upon this website: http://www.stugotz.net/log It gives you a day by day log and graphs your results. It Free and you can keep almost everything about your tank on this log. Check it out. I think it's pretty cool, since I now won't always be wondering...

I was just wondering is it best to check them after the lights have been running or once they turn off? Will different times of day, give me different readings? Thanks in advance!

Huh? Beginner's mistake, sorry

So, Ideally I want to keep it stable, and consistant, but around 8.0?

That's what I was thinking,could that be part of the reason why my Ph is low? I did get the water and Sand from the LFS stores Display tank, but I think I am going to add a couple pieces just to be on the safe side.

I have another question, I was just reading the Live Rock article that was posted, and I set my 12g up with Ultra Dry Base rock, should I get a piece of the Fiji Premium rock that my LFS sells to help my tank cycle better?

I have another question though, I was just reading the Live Rock article that was posted, and I set my 12g up with Ultra Dry Base rock, should I get a piece of the Fiji Premium rock that my LFS sells to help my tank cycle better?

Thanks for the Welcome everyone, I got this site from Fin-Addict, which helped with my purchases and ALL of my newbie questions. The fan is working it cooled the tank tonight down to 77.4 so I put my heater in and it warmed to 78.6, now that the day lights have been on for an hour the temp is...

This is a Pic of my tank with the Moonlights running... http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=3/7023100880.jpg&s=x10

Well it looks like the fan is working, I've had it on there for about 10 minutes and the tank temp has cooled to 82.8. Hopefully It will cool off a liitle more over night and then we'll see how it does when the day lights turn on tom. thanks again!
