I don't think I would be patience enough to go bigger plus I don't got enough room. max I could do is 20 gal and it would take me a long time to get the supply's I would need.

I will look into that website to see if it ships free to Canada.

Oh here http://www.riverwonders.com/index.php?cPat...92d309005335378

Do you think this is a good buy for the setup I'm going to have? http://www.riverwonders.com/shopping_cart.php

I was wondering how much it would cost to get all the equipment to set up a 10 gal nano reef tank. I also want some info on how to set it up.

Your biggest expense, as I found out today, is going to be for lighting...you need to decide what you want to put in your tank...low light corals? Sea Anemonies (which usually require more wpg)? For a 10 gallon light you can get one at Big Al's for around $65, you'll probably want to get a heater ($30-$60 depending on type), maybe a HOB filter ($15-$40). Then you still have to buy your Live Rock ($10/lb about 10-20lbs), substrate ($40-80) and salts/chemicals ($35ish), wait a few months, add your cleaner crew ($30), then wait some more, and then you can add 3-4 small fish.

I'm definately not an expert, but I have been looking into this with a friend, and we've discovered that it's quite expensive to start out, but the SW tanks are a joy to watch.

well I have a heater and I can get salt for $20 for a huge pale. I have about $120 to spent I'm sort on cash so I will look into finding deals. Well I want to have easy and common coral to start off what would be the watts of the light I would need I'm guessing around 20-45. But what type of gravel would I use? crushed coral?

Hows the tank coming along?

I think it's all the inbreeding with guppies as to why they die so easily. Too bad we can't get some wild caught guppies from somewhere and produce them from fresh strains

I keep guppy's and they don't die off they usually die from stress due to Breeding. Never buy guppy's from a pet store there guppy's have been breed over and over and over and over so the common guppy you buy from a pet store has very poor quality Unlike wild guppies. A good place to buy guppy's is From this website Best guppy's you get them cheap but you get a mass order of them you you need to get rid of some or do an order and share them with someone else on the forum. I found that if I buy guppy's online I get a good 1-3 years out of them but if I get store bought guppy's they only last 6 months.

The fin rots not getting better its starting to spread i added salt I'm treating with salt baths and Bettafix even so slowly its spreading.Also it is fin rot.

Wonderful Bettas

I don't think he has dropsy as I said before his scales look like it but it seems as if his scales are outlined not sticking out well I guess we will see. Also he may not have fin rot it could be ammonia burn the tips of his fins are black and hes a red Betta.

I got about 15 fry this drop would have been about 30 but most of them didn't make it when the female dropped them when she gave birth they where 2 big so when they came out they where squished.

The fry look a bit deformed im not sure really it looks like they have an indent under the head

The fry are swimming happily in the 20 gal

The female giving birth is alive and is trying to eat the dead fry in the trap.

Well the fry where to big for her it seemed so I had to push on her belly to get them out most of them are dead but i got some live ones

I'm not sure why this is happening but the fry are full grown almost the same size as my other fry an they are like a month old.

I'm not sure if he has the pine cone affect his scales look like there sticking out but don't feel like it. looks like his scales stand out but are not sticking out.

Mine are in a 20 gal tank

Well I can see the pine cone affect

I will try salt I hope it does not get worse. Really not that bad its just on the tips of his fins

Well I just saved a sick Betta he looked young and good for breeding but he has Fin rot and I'm not sure what to use on him I'm treating him with bettafix.

I know what is feels like if you got him from petsmart then I could see why he died almost all of there Bettas are sick

Sorry to hear about your loss

No sadly not I think I need a younger stock.
