I just started puting live stock in my 55 i have a goby,2 sandsifting seastars,black serpant seastar,some herrmits and 2 turbo snails. The question I have is does anyone know how often sandsifter stars spawn mine spawn I noticed 2 spawns about the size of a penny. I already talked to the LFS...

I have a goby atm. i dont know how he got in there. he is staying at the bottom now i guess he learned his leason lol.

Hey guy's i have a question. I have a wet/dry filter system with a prefilter. the overflow box hangs on the back of the tank. My problem is fish are get into my overflow box (thank god i have a prefilter) what should i do put some fish net nylons over the box? thats the only thing i can think of...

I have a 55 gal tank how much should I change during the cycle 5gal? should i use disteld (spelling) water I dont have a RO unit yet

I have a nOOb question. I started my tank nov 9 and i noticed that my tank last night was cloudy looking from the side you cant see through the glass is this part of the cycle im confused cause look straight at it it looks only hazey but from side to side looks like a big fog. :?: the only thing...

Well, I bought everything but a small piece of LR for the cycle. I should get it going by sat. I hope. Thanks for all your guys help on this.

Ok, I'm going to order some pumps today for wave makers and main pump. Ive been looking at Mini jet 606 82-183gph so i can put it into my wet/dry or a fish tank.(I havent decided yet on which im going to do) So i dont have them in side my show tank. Is this enough gph or should i go bigger one...

the wet/dry was 200 but the guy gave be a good price and lowered it to 175. so we can start there.

I dont want to hang it

Its a Coralife 125 Super SKimmer.

The skimmer can be done either way. I'd rather it not be hung, I want as much of the stuff off the back and in the bottom as possible. as for the LFS thats why I'm here :D asking questions you should of seen there face when i told them i wasnt going to use the wet/dry it was a kodak moment.

Is that the main consern is the balls getting dirty. If thats the cause I can handle that. How often are you suppose to clean them once a week,once a month. Im not sure the destructions dont say.

Ok if I take the filter back and get the skimmer. How am i suppose to cycle my tank cause your not suppose to use a skimmer while the tank cycles right? do I still need a pump for the skimmer if it hangs on the back of the tank hows that work?

Thanks for the input guys I need it. Well I went today and bought some stuff 50 lb. of LS,salt and I decided to buy the wet/dry system just for some more filtration. Know Im going to buy a pump online, a Mag-Drive how big of pump should I get? And a LFS told me not to buy the 125 gal skimmer it...

I have one more question then im going to start ordering stuff. I dont have a very good lfs's around here being in a corn and bean state. Do alot of you guys buy you LR online. I've been looking around here for two days know around town and dont like what i see. Well i did find one store but...
