k. that site is pretty sweet. thanks.

building an acrylic overflow has proved somewhat difficult with the lack of proper solvents. I've heard about ISP (IPS, PSI, SPI, whatever it is) weld-on #3,4, and 16 for welding acrylic together, but I can't find it anywhere. what types of acrylic bonders do you guys use to construct sumps...

ok...well I'll go with what I have and keep in mind what you are saying. thanks for the info.

Although 90 gallons would be best, as would a larger tank for any fish, I dont understand why a 50 gallon would not be sufficient. I also dont understand why you would need 40 gallons of water to support these fish, as they live most of their lives on land, using the water for occasional swims...

yeah...it just confuses me.

also, can you answer the rest of my original questions?

so other than the large tank and calcium based substrates, is there really anything that needs to be specific to keep these kids? sometimes people on AC exagerate what people really need to keep a certain fish to pretty much make sure the person does the right thing to make their fish happy...

the link doesnt work for me

I recently discovered that mudskippers aren't as well studied as I once thought. I pressumed that the internet would have a wealth of information about mudskippers...in english at least. But it has come to my attention that half of Japan knows about these critters and only a few select...

terror that blue acara definatly looks like a green terror. silver saum. whatever. the thing that makes me think it is a terror is its larger forehead, its blue spangles, and the white edge of the dorsal fin. a) GT's foreheads generally have less coloration than the rest of their body...

my tank is a week old. I wasn't really planning on trying to keep much of anything anytime soon. I was mostly wondering what needed to be done in order to keep anenomes alive.

could I keep an anenome in a 30g with 30# LR, aragonite, jaw fish, fire fish, cleaner gobies, (tests done with a freshwater test kit) ph 7.9, ammonia 0-1, nitrites 0, nitrates untested, 116 watts of light, and plenty of flow? maybe I should ask this: how do you keep anenomes? are there...

I have a glass lid with those plastic stips that slide onto the back and can be cut to let appliances through. the only large opening is where the AC 200 sits. there is a waterfall coming out of that, so I dont know if it would be something to worry about. btw, Im just looking at fish that...

well, im pretty sure they are aptasia. a few seem to move slowly accross their rocks. others stick in place. some just disconnect and float elsewhere. question about the mushroom: I have a redish brown type that has green on it (like algae or something). Do I need to feed this type of...

k. got 30# of live rock I have a mushroom coral on it and some "pest anenomes". personally, if an anenome can live in my tank, thats fine with me, just as long as the fish dont die. hopefully the mushroom thing wont die. anyways. all I need to add is fish. here are my perimeters...

so would dechloriminated tap be fine for a FOWLR tank?

how does 30# of live rock fit in a 30 anyways? is it as heavy as those calcium based rocks that have lots of large holes in them that you find in african cichlid tanks? I have a good deal on well established LR from my dad's friend. $3/#. So I'm flexible, but I just dont like spending...

Mandarin gobies need 125? they aren't very big. my LFS has some displays with mandarins and they are not 125 gallon tanks.

whered you get that aragonite from?

30 gallon AC 200 Power Head (dont know gph, but its running in my 50 right now) 20 lbs LR 3-4 inches of aragonite sand 2 19 watt PC bulbs double flou strip light (36") no corals 1-2 clowns 1-2 damsels 2 cleaner shrimp some hermit crabs and snails (dont know how many) and 1-2...
