Just wondered your thoughts on this. I would love to purchase a very small FO tank (maybe 5 or 10 gal) for my daughter that would have only one or two clown fish. I realize that I will be doing any and all the maintenance with this tank but just wondered if it is possible and for a minimal...

davenia7; When you mix up your water 24 hrs. in advance, do you need to check your pH and salinity levels in the bucket or is the mix you use good enough quality to go with as is? Also do you use a plastic bucket?

Can you folks recommend how one goes about finding a quality local fish store in my geographic region that sells saltwater fish? Since my tank will be on the smaller side and I won't have the chance to purchase a lot of fish, I want to be sure that the store I buy from is competent in what they...

As far as purchasing a tank goes does anyone have a preference of one over the other regarding the composition (acrylic vs. glass)? I think the acrylic tanks are more expensive but they tend to get scratched alot if the LR gets moved around. I like the idea of glass better for this reason but...

I plan to purchase a 20 gallon long tank for my first try at a saltwater aquarium. I remember once reading that a aquarist kept a brand new, clean 30 gallon Rubbermaid trash can in his/her basement and had pre-mixed saltwater ready to go in it. I think he/she had something running also to...

Being a newbie and planning my first SW tank, can someone briefly explain what I am reading here alot, whihc is the cycling of the tank? I am assuming that after I get some LR & LS and get the tank up and running there is a period of time before you can put any lifeforms in there.

Bubble wall Sure Jay I am always interested in any way something could still be accomplished without causing more grief. Just so you know I am still in the planning stages of my 1st saltwater nano tank.

Bubbles.......... Thank you all. I will stay away from that idea. I just thought it would give the tank a nice special effect but it is now obvious to me that some special effects are detrimental to overall wellness.

davenia7, could you kindly decipher for me what "SW" stands for? I ams ure I will remember these once I see them used in a sentence enough.

A few years back when I was searching around on the Net for fish tank equipment, I remember seeing a product that basically created a literal wall of air bubbles along the back glass of the tank. Can't find it again but if I did, would this be something beneficial to a FO tank or is it just...

Being a newbie to saltwater tanks and their friends, where does one order or buy all of these different clean up crew species? I have always been a proponent of buying online especially if there is a guarantee that they arive healthy and alive.

I just saw a 5 gallon box of Catalina water for $8.99 at Petco. Is it a geographical thing that "dragon79" gets it for .37 cents a gallon since the company is located in Cal-ee-forn-ya?

This is my first post here so go easy on me. I am hoping to purchase and set-up a small saltwater tank for my 3 yr. old daughter and I must confess for me too. My question is that in the past I have read that a rectangular tank (even a small one) is much better than a sqaure or cube style tank...

Where does one purchase this "Catalina watr"?
