Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. FTS actinics FTS LED and finally my three new fish. 4Line in QT...added last night but no pic yet. pair shark nosed gobbies in DT Nobody paid attention to the gobbies...the 4 line was chased a bit covered the tank for a few nights at least. ...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Well got the new computer setup and pictures downloaded. So no major bad issues with the tank other then I broke my orange cap again. ::) So just imagine the pictures without the big leaf in front on the orange cap. Bulldozer snail from...

I had problems getting my pics loaded to the new computer. Here is my 55G tank.

Wow that is a super neat plumbing job.

I would prefer not to have to ship.....I work in NYC if there is someplace I can drop it off on the way from Little Silver, Woodbridge, Newark, to downtown NYC will do.

Anyone want some cheato...no cost just let me know in the next 24 hours or so..want to get it out either tonight or tmrw night. James

AO...think they are the 100 micron socks 5x10inches or something like that and a filter bag from him too.

Same for me. Note that I did it before I had the NJRC meeting at my house...I was worried that the extra 60 people in the house might be a problem...not exactly a small bunch of people either.

Nice tank, very nice pictures. I would disagree with part of what you said. A watt is a watt, but a watt of MH is not the same as a watt of T5 or LED. If you compared the output of 1W of LED vs 1W of T5 vs 1W of MH you will not necessarily produce the same light and heat. In fact the more...

I would do about a 2G per week water change. Little more is better then not enough and will be good for everyone. Second the goby/blenny or small jawfish something on the bottom.

You should be fine with that the six line is more of a bottom dweller the flame might be more of an issue. As far as overstocking goes your fine.

Don't use bioballs at all....better to use some live rock rubble or just hang a bag of carbon or something that you can switch out. Bioballs just tend to create nitrates.

I used a T at the end of the tubing above the water line so that it doesn't slip out of the hole that it comes through and I have not had problems.

If PC the would say one of each. I know T5 lights tons better then PC...though you can find some variety I don't really know who makes what.

PC or T5 Really doesn't matter but easier to recomend exact bulbs....10K, ATI blue(something in the 14K range or mix PC bulb) and one true actinic. The par will be higher for the blueish bulb vs actinic...will give some corals more pop...ditto fish...then a 10K.

I would break out the old turkey baster too ... you can blow the stuff loose and then remove it. Temp IMHO has something to do with it too, maybe higher temp creates lower O2 or something. I agree with Hawk...cyano aside the tank looks super nice.

I am really truly sorry..I am usually pretty stoic but I about lost it. :'(

Sorry I read it in both threads hopefully someone will chime in on how to get them out....I don't know? Is there some sort of cover in place that you cannot get out? Check online for an owners manual is the only thing I can think of.

I think you need some sand but no particular depth...they mostly crawl about on top of the sand bed stuffing their hole with sand. They don't go deep so maybe an inch?

101 Saltwater Fishes gives a more detailed size chart and compatibility. As Hawkeye said a hippo in a 72 G would be OK for a while but they get big and are really active, minimum 120 G is really true. They are also POOP factories.
