Who Gives A Fish Forums

Hi, I'm new to the saltwater scene, I've been reading through the thread and I came across your pod tank, I was just wondering what it is and what it's for, is it some kind of feeding tank or something?


Hi Gav,

I'm running a pod tank, it's a separate container for live copepods and rotifers ...

Hi Guys,

I'm back after a bit of a break. My last post was about my old tank disaster - laminate floor destroyed and dead fish, the lot. I learned from my mistakes, mainly due to lack of patience, so I've decided to give it another go.

I've got a new 45-litre wave box tank on my desk with some ...

I've finally got my hands on the test kits and I've run my first ammonia test using the Salifert kit. The reading is slightly off, but I'm having a bit of trouble pinpointing the exact level - you can see the result for yourself here: http/www.flickr.com/photos/42972607@N07/3959431996/

I'll keep a ...

Hi Seffie,

Thanks for the warm welcome back, and for setting me straight on the LFS's advice. It's reassuring to know that I'm on the right track this time around.

I've been meaning to get a test kit, and I'll start testing as soon as I get it. The LR was out of the water for about 2 hours, so I'm ...

So I'm looking to set up a fish only saltwater tank, and I've heard it's a lot more straightforward than keeping a fish-liverock or reef tank. Apparently, I won't have to worry about things like phosphate and calcium levels.

I'm basically starting from scratch here, so I'd really appreciate it if ...

Hey...

Thanks a lot..... I'm starting to get it, but there's still so much I don't know. I think I understand what you're saying about the filter - it's going to produce a lot of nitrates, right? I've got this weird filter system, it's glued to the inside of the tank with silicone, I guess it's ...

My duncan has been growing steadily, doubling in size roughly every 6 months. I've got it on the sand bed and under radion pros - seems to work well for it. I feed it krill tails twice a week, also got anemones in the tank. Flow is a must for mine, it loves it. Only time it's ever closed up is when ...
