Uh ok?

I didn't mean to attack you. Just saying that the advice you were giving me seemed backwards to the advice I've been reading on this forum since I started. I responded to your post...

I've been thinking about doing that myself XD

Lol yeah. So I'm trying to figure out how to add you as a friend on here and I can't sort it out >.>

Oh wow I just realized how bad the formatting on that last post was. I really need to get coffee >.>

The plan is for a school of 9-11 Rainbowfish and then maybe 7-9 Cherry Barbs. I wish they offered a course "how to get great shots of fish that won't stop moving!" I've read forums on how to get good...

Thanks rmiller. Was a little thrown this morning reading this thread before coffee to someone suggesting never to do more than 30%.

I am -so- bad at fish photography but I will hopefully have some...

Thanks metal-okatu. It was actually one of the rare, NOT deathly hot days here. Although I did bring him home in a bag and my house is about an hour drive from the LFS I shop at. (worth the trip -...

I have a 35gallon w/o an airstone. I'm not much a fan of the noise either. What kind of filter do you have? I have a HOB (Pengiun 350) and it's strong enough to stir up the water when it re-enters...

No no, I'm not saying Nitrite in my tank is good. I'm saying it's very very bad. And that a large water change is suggested to put the levels back lower. Every forum I've ever been on the people have...

I'm sorry - that advice is backwards to most of what I've learned about fishkeeping.

My water parameters are good, I have a 35 gallon with no issues. From what I've learned the bacteria live in...

1. Water parameters. (ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, PH, temp', Hardness etc)
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - was between 0.3 and 0.5 but did a WC of about 70%
Nitrate - 10
pH - between 7 and 7.5
Temp 78F

Well I've just planned with Minime to head down to our fabulous LFS (a 2hr round trip) tomorrow to pick up the Rainbow Forktails they have in stock for my tank, and a couple male Fancy Guppies for...

What I do with my Barbs, because they are food hogs too, is feed them flakes and then, in a corner of the tank my loaches hang out I drop a sinking wafer. The Barbs do eventually come over, but then...

Yeah. I found out they get their shipment on Tuesday, so I /might/ give them another try this weekend. I carefully watched the fish before I bought and they seemed ok. But hard to tell. We shall see.

A sad day in fishkeeping :( Went with my Minime to Petsmart to pick up 5 more Cherry Barbs. I'd decided to increase the shoal to 9 while I settle on the other shoaling species.

En route home she...

Yup I'd thought about those. I've got a decent list of things to look at now:

Blackskirts
Lemon Tetras
Forktail Rainbowfish
Hatchetfish

Next is to research each and then head to the LFS and...

Well the Runnynose Tetras have too much red in them. Same goes for the neons that I've seen.

Yeah I have to admit I am fairly settled on the forktails provided I can find them. And unless further research turns up something where they just won't work in my tank.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble at work. I've been through some real awful work situations and it can really take a lot out of you.

This is my favorite awful job story:

So I was working...

Probably because in theory the question has already been answered somewhere.

I just prefer asking here, in addition to things I've already read. Partly for the reasons state above, and also...

At least my dad kind of gets it. He used to have a tank, and hearing me talk about my tankS I think is prodding him to set up another.

The Ornate Tetras look cool but I admit to not being much of...

Excellent, thank you! Was just kinda hoping, ahh well. Now to start reading and pricing :D

Oh trust me, I was SHATTERED. The thing even came with a stand. I was calling up friends, begging for a place to store it until I had a place that would let me get a tank that size. I didn't know...

Hey Cliff - thanks for the links. I'd read through your post on curing live rock. But looks like I missed the distinction between that and coral. I definitely will be doing liverock.

From the pics...

As a newbie myself I'm with the previous two posters. Often even though I've Googled something I come and ask it here. Why? Because in the last month or whatever since I've been here I've had some...
