Welcome to fishlore. Lovely tank! Where do you find the space?

bmRboY

Thanks bud! what do you mean by space?

armadillo

Well it is huge, so you need room in your house for it. I would never have enough space in my house for such a huuuge tank. Looking great, though!

bmRboY

ah okay.... our place is fairly large.... we have the new 100 gallon saltwater tank set up in one corner.... and it's double sided. We also have a double sided 150 gallon freshwater setup for the discus... and a little 15 gallon aquarium by the entrance of the house for the flower horn... I'm glad you like it.... Thanks bud!

armadillo

Oh wow, (Yoda impression) verrry lucky you are, verrry lucky you are. Jealous I am! :P

Very nice, I wish I could have a tank that big and with those fish. Welcome.
That's pretty impressive.

Very cool tank!! I like saltwater but am currently financially unable to give it a go at this time... Looks like you have done a fine job!

bmRboY

Thanks.... 3 weeks running.... Having numerous casualties... As of today my Flagfin angel just died! Have marine Ich and my imperator is not doing well....

Tom

Isn't 3 weeks a little too soon for fish in a marine tank?

what are those types of images called. ive seen some cool ones on the web

agsansoo

YES !!! .... If it isn't cycled yet. You can use BIO-Spira - For Quick Aquarium Cycle (plug for a sponsor) . This will cycle a tank in about 24 to 48 hours.
bmRboY is your tank cycled yet ?

bmRboY

We got the water from the petshop... That's what they use to house their fish.... They said that it was cycled seeing that all their stocks use the water... even the live rock and corals.... Might have to cycle it again less the fish....

agsansoo

That why and how people get Ich. Never share or use your LFS (local fish store) water. Mix your own saltwater or buy RO/DI clean saltwater. I know it's a pain when setting up 100 gallon tank, but it's the safest way. I had to make six trips to the LFS with two 5 gallon jugs. You should also think about setting up a quarantine tank before releasing new fish into you tank.

bmRboY

Thanks for the info.... what about freshwater baths? some forums say that it's good... any experience with this?
