    Timezone for the new forums?

    Sunny, I understand. Just if people can't wait for the update they can change it themselves in the meantime.

    Electric usage in apartment

    I agree with Paul and Darren. I use to keep my central at 68 to 70. After getting the tank my electric bill was a killer, especially when I had MH lights. I then started keeping the AC 75 but was still warm, my bill dropped about $60 a month. I installed ceiling fans and that made the rooms much...

    Can't get hook out of Mystery Wrasse fish's mouth

    I was thinking the spikes were from the dead fish. But now that you mention a cycle; in July I had hair algae and had to clean some of the rocks. Maybe the addition of new fish finally set off a small cycle.

    Stocking Question (warning, this is long winded, sorry)

    It really is up to you and the maintenance you want to perform. I do agree with Mike that a 48" tank for a large Hippo is not a good idea. If you think you will be upgrading in a year or less you might get away with it for awhile. Mine was 6" in a 75g and it swam every where all day long. The...

The YT and PJ's were teh same size and Angel was smaller but the same size as the clowns. i didn't notice any outward signs of disease. Here are my params as of today. Note the Nitrite and Nitrate tests are over a...
