    Macrognathus lineatomaculatus "Orange Fantasy Eel" Info?

    I was at the local shop looking around and this fish caught my eye because it was swimming around all over the tank, which I wouldn't expect an eel to be doing. Also it's adorable. I am wondering if this is likely to be the accurate ID for the fish. I read that it was recently split off from M...

    How much wattage per gallon is this

    The light source doesn't matter; watts divided by gallons is watts per gallon. That was his question. The formula doesn't care what the light source is, which is why it doesn't work.

    What do I need for my tank?

    I would say 2x39W T5HO, but the tank is pretty shallow (38 cm - 15 in) so a single bulb might work. Don't worry about watts per gallon, it's pretty much useless. I use just 108W on my "high tech" 75 gallon, but everything is growing great.

    Just Bought 125 Gallon Tank

    I use a cascade 1200, an Aquaclear 110 (great filter, costs a lot less than a canister too) and a big powerhead with a spongefilter on my 120 gallon. The cascade works fine, I bought this one second hand for a good price; fluval, rena, and eheim have better reputations. I have a fluval 404 on my...

    Could I stop quarantining my corys early?

    Don't cut corners with quarantining. You are only increasing your chances of having a really bad day down the road.

    I was given an empty tank

    Looks like you got some decent equipment with it. Is the light fixture compact fluorescent? A single 65W tube would work well on that size tank. Just in case you do forget, check the fish behavior after you put them in the tank. If they're flopping around and/or laying on the bottom breathing...

    High tech 75 gallon

    It works great; plenty of light. I'm running 2 bulbs most of the time, maybe if I was a more competent aquarist I could get rid of the BBA and use all 3
