Hello, I know about salt water (FO and Reef) but I never tried a small tank (10g). I thought I could use a fluval as a sump. do you think this would do? other idea? also, for small aquarium like that, does people have skimmer? I know it's gonna be pretty instable beacause of the small volume so I'me trying to put together all I should need to make things work. Here is what I plan to put in that tank: 1 or 2 sea stars 1 or 2 urchin maybe 1 annemona (if there is some that remain small) a few hermit crab maybe 1 shrimp. For live rock, I'me not sure how mutch I should use in that kind of small tank. 1 pound/ gallon? more? s thank you for your help

I can't wait to see this

what is it suppose to smell when it's alive

yeah I could use it as base rock. also, the guy at the store told me I would get refund if everything died. that I understain, the way to know if its alive is to clean it and then wait and wait until nothing happen to realised it's dead

thx for your help, it's a new tank so i dont care about amonia pick. is it ok if I let them in the tank for a weak and then brush all what goes off easily? and what do I want to keep? i never had live rock before (first try) so I dont know what to look for.

Hi, i bought Live Rock from aquagiant and got it ship to yellowknife. unfortunatly, they sent it by bus (24h drive) and beacause its weekend, I will only get it on monday. With all this, most of it could be death by now. How do I know witch rocks are still alive and witch are death? thx

Hi, I need to find a good store for reef supply and live stock. it must be in calgary or edmonton. Do you have any suggestion? the best would be one with a web site so I can see what I buy. thx

Hi! does anyone know a web site where I can buy Lamotte test kit? Thank you!

but that would be way easier to do it with no water in the tank. Why dont you put yr fish in a bucket for a couple days? you could keep as mutch water as you can with bucket and flush the rest. if you can keep 25% of the water and replace the other 75% with new water, that would be the equivalent of a large water change.

I have tried that food and it's not bad at all. It's realy small and ideal for baby fish. It float until it get eaten.

Hello everyone! I found your forum this weekend and find it realy cool. I am from Yellowknife in NWT so I'me not far from you, just a little remote I have been in the hobbie for the last 4 years. My interest are more about aquatic plants than fish but I enjoy all the aspect of the hobbie. I have 3 planted tank at home: 25g plants: eleocharis (hair grass?), mini java fern, riccia dwarf, fissiden fonteanus Fish: none Inverts: about 40 cherry shrimp and about 10 amano shrimp light: corralife 2X65w power compact (10h/day) Co2: pressurised (try to get it at 30ppm) Ferts: EI technique 50g (I am working on the aquascape today) will be: plants: E Tenellus and dwarf riccia Fish: 14 lemon tetras inverts: will have lot of shrimp! (about 150 or more). I like shrimps... they are good workers Light: 2X96W power compach (AH Supply) CO2: IT WILL HAVE SOME IF CANADA POST CAN FIND MY PARCEL LOST SOME WHERE IN THE MAIL!!! Ferts: EI technique 10g that one is only a tank to store my extra plants. there no mutch to say about it. I plan to make a nano reff with it during the winter. Beacause it bad to always get my plants ship from down south and there is no mutch choice in yellowknife, I also have a green house where I grow most of my plants. it's my storage room. So I hope we'll have the chance to talk and exchange about theh hobbies. bye Pat
