how much time do I have to cycle my tank to add Anemone

[lsufan180]

@Mannyfresh1x I messed up ur name but look at the comment below this one

[lsufan180]

@MannyFreshx1 it doesn't matter it jus has to hold water but don't use florecent lights for salt water use compact florecent, t5s or metal halide or LEDs

beautiful clowns, i have a 75 gallon aquarium that has ran for over 2 months but live rock was put in two weeks ago. How long until i can add clownfish?

[MannyFresh1x]

Does it matter what kind of tank u get because I wanted to get the top fin 20 gallon with hood and lights combo and my dad said its no for salt water I need an expert here plz help

[fishoexplotion1]

how long did you wait till you put the clowns in

[turtleman5551]

i would go ahead and get a protein skimmer and if u do that get an anemone for the clown fish

wow how soon can i add my cleanup crew?

[aquariumcentral]

@xmazz31x You can add your cleanup crew after about 2 weeks of having your live rock in your aquarium.

@aquariumcentral is this ok?! today i got my tank and added the right amount of salt and all and a liverock that has been maturing for a little while in the petstore liverock tank and added my livesand too. Then i added a small (1inch long 3cm thick) purple spotted reef lobster to my tank while its still murky i am running my filter though with 76 degree water so should he be alright? I think the pregrown liverock will be helping alot with thos nitrate and amnoia levels right? Please help man

@xmazz31x hey, you should really raise the temp to at least 80 degrees FH if possible. Also, if your nitrite/ammonia levels are still too high, I would recommend cutting back on your amount of fish, if you don't have a large amount of fish and still have high levels, try a bit more live rock and/or a bag of "live" sand. If all that fails to lower the levels, get a higher powered filter.

you do not need a skimmer on a 20 gal

[joeg2011]

ive been thinkg about starting up a marine tank ive got a 60 litre tank what would be the smalest and best pump to use..

[aquariumcentral]

@joeg2011 What do you mean by pump? Do you mean filter or powerhead?

[vanhalenman60]

brown algea aka diatoms is the 2nd stage of the cycle they dissapear and get a clean up crew later like 5 day when u see real algea
