    Adequate flow rate for biofiltration

    Got the 600going to both tanks and it looks like I'm getting a pretty good flow to each. Like 200gph. I'm happy with that. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    Adequate flow rate for biofiltration

    So I picked up two pumps; a 300 and a 600 gph. I have a 55 gallon growout and I'm hooking it up to my wet/dry on my 150 gallon. The filter is pretty far away and with the 300 gph pump I'm probably pulling 100gph. With the 600 gph pump I have to use a ball valve to control it so it doesn't drain...

    Best fish

    If I was limited to a 30 gallon, I would go with a modestly stocked African Cichlid tank. I know the recommended size tanks for African cichlids is 50+ but if you know what you're doing (good filtration, water changes, decor) there's no reason why they wouldn't thrive in a 30 gallon.

    Taste of The Wild Salmon Dog food as fish food

    I appreciate it honestly, I just got a little ticked off about the joke about potatoes from another member, but I was being nitpicky. Very insightful definitely don't want anything to happen to my lionfish but want to get him off live as soon as possible because they say most live feeders are...

    You're right actually, I bought some bigger pellets that look similar to the dog food and he ate a couple.

    Taste of The Wild Salmon Dog food as fish food

    Not to hate on your post, as I understand what you're saying and honestly you are probably correct, but even fish foods contain plenty of ingredients that fish would never consume. I feed hikari cichlid gold and here are the ingredients: Fish meal, flaked corn, wheat flour, gluten meal...

    Taste of The Wild Salmon Dog food as fish food

    Hey Guys, So I've been buying Salmon taste of the wild dog food for my bulldog and started looking at the ingredients. Salmon is the main ingredient and it's grain free. To me the ingredients seemed better than most fish foods. I threw some in the tank and my lion fish actually ate a few, which...

    Trouble getting my baby Peacock Bass to eat non living food??? help!

    At that size it has always been a real pain for me to get my guys off live food. I use shrimp to get them off live, get 12oz bag from walmart for $5, thaw as needed. What I did was when I fed live feeders I put them in a cup with water and poured it into the tank. This would make my pbass react...

    Saltwater tank problem, possible marine ich

    I don't think the sgt major is much of a factor. I do not quarantine my fish, I dont really have the means to at the moment. Would giving them a dip be a good precautionary measure, I always worry this will stress them out further and ultimately lead to their demise. I didnt have any test strips...
