Re: Ideas Please

Thanks guys my hubby is now VERY excited at getting a couple of GSP's :D

I have tried looking around on here but having trouble locating a thread or topic. To convert our tank to marine what exactly will we need? If we have a list now we can start saving and buying bits at a time.

Thanks again

Re: Water Advice

I really wanted to do a fishless cycle but getting ammonia here is like gold dust and I had already started this method before finding out other ways so decided to carry on. I was not convinced by these results at all as I had been using Interpret test kit which w...

Re: Water Advice

I have borrowed a few fish from our freshwater tank to help cycle this one and get it ready for a puffer and been going for about 2 months now if not a bit longer. It is currently freshwater as that is what the puffers are in at LFS but plan on increasing it to brackish once I get my F8. I have been...

RO vs Tap Water

I will be starting to cycle my first tank in the next few days for my first F8 puffer. What are people's feelings on using RO water as opposed to Tap Water? Is there any benefits or does it not really make a difference? In the Tropical tanks I have had before we always used RO water with added miner...
