I have some very sad news. My tank was just about ready. I had my cuc, 2 clowns and a starfish. We spent many hours admiring the tank, then this happened: An emergency light in my living room caused a fire and damaged my tank and part of my living room. Then a while later, another fire...

I have a question for the guys who know: How do you prevent hitchhikers in LR? I have stuff in my tank that I don't want. Bristle worm, asterina etc. I am planning my new tank and want to prevent this. Do I use base rock and just seed with special blend? How would I then get the good guys...

The spots are gone and they are eating. I'll keep a close watch on them.

Hi guys! I want led lights that fit in the tl-550 hood. I don't like to have my tank open. Can you help with that?

Lfs says it's bacterial

Does this look like white spot?

At last, I added some fish. I got two clownfish on Saturday, but there's a problem... More about that in a bit.

I think the dead crab. It went up to 0.003 from 0.001. Not big, but the ammonia was stable at 0.001 for two weeks.

No, I didn't find it. I had an ammonia spike on that day too, so it tells me he is dead. I no longer have any crabs in my tank. I am not deterred, I will get some crabs again. They did an awesome job with the algae. The snails aren't coping with all the algae. If all goes to plan, I will add...

I had 5 Hermits. One of them went on a killing spree and killed 3. I removed it from the tank and gave it away. That left me with only one. When I came home today, that hermit abandoned it's shell and is nowhere to be found. What can be the cause? I have 4 turbo snails and a shrimp. No other...

Stop teasing me!! I can't wait for this build to finish! It's going to be an epic tank!

Is is running smoothly. I still only have the CUC. I am cycling the QT/holding tank. There isn't any change since my last update. I'm hoping to add some fish soon.

I have now set up my old aquaponics tank as a QT/holding tank. It is a flood and drain with bell syphon system. I added some filter floss and aquarium sponge to the sump and live rock with ceramic rings in the drain tank. It is a 40 liter tank. I'll add some 50mm pvc fittings for hiding...

Any update? I am following as I really want a tank like this as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a great idea! Wouldn't the direct sunlight heat up the tank too much or cause hair algea? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Then I'm going to set it up now, so the cycle can start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you to everyone for the info on the fish. We will stick with the last list and order the fish. My next question relates to a QT system: I have an old aquaponics tank and 2 small tropical tanks. A am going to set them up as a QT system. Does that system also need to cycle? I still have...

Thank you! I got that, but did expect that my list will be adjusted. (That is the reason for me posting it here, so I can get info about it. My new list looks like this: 1 X Royal Gramma 1 X Banggai cardinalfish 2 X Ocellaris clown 1 X Purple Firefish

Thanx! What brightly- or multicoloured fish can you suggest for my 120 liter tank?
