I can't good buy anything on the internet on that...I've controled all almost the desk and the floor thinking perhaps he jumped out and I can't pride him. So I got up there are looked into the bowl and constant satisfactory there was only one fish. TWO and put them in a cute little bowl on my desk. Today I suddenly realized that up the last week when I take a glance at the bowl I've only olden seeing the one with the spots on it's tail.

I'm only asking that considering 3 elderliness ago I had a medium sized aquarium full of gold fish and little by little they started to disappear. dupe thing..

With the tools already at hand, what other equipment/test kits do I need to get this started and an estimate in price?(btw i have a gravitometer already) outside of obvious live rock/sand etc. On these two holes a plastic hood with a single 20w (lame..) freash water flourescent light is mounted.My question is this. It even comes with a plastic hood (more details in a bit) and multiple air pumps, tubes, and air stones. Open Question: Black Moor Goldfish breathing in too much air? I don't have a filter because they live in a bowl not a tank. I know black moors are sensitive to dirty water, but I changed the water yesterday, so it's clean. My black moor is always almost at the top of the bowl sucking in air. Help!Is she okay? I bought two new fish, one red cap oranda fish and a black moor goldfish. The other one comes up occasionally comes up for air but swims most of the time, so I'm not worried about him. She swims sometimes but she's usually at the top.

Resolved Question: Need Help Stocking Oceanic BioCube Saltwater Aquarium!?
Posted on December 17, 2008 in Oceanic aquarium
(please elaborate)2.)My LFS thinks that a Watchmen Goby and a Pistol Shrimp is ideal for my setup, but I think I need more Live Sand for the shrimp. Here are the specs:10 lbs live sand (getting more, read on)55-60 lbs live rock (with 10-15 pounds in the middle chamber or the filter)Bio Cube Skimmer (made by Oceanic for the Cube)1 Banggai Cardinal2 Stubby Ocellaris Clownfish (Look them up, they're awesome)1 Coral Beauty AngelVarious Mushrooms1 Closed Brain Coral1 Small Hammer Coral1 Leather CoralA few Feather Dusters that came on some live rock4 Astrea Snails5 Blue Leg Hermits1 Cleaner ShrimpON to my questions:1.) Would you consider my tank overstocked, understocked, or just right? Any advice?3.)How many more snails/hermits do I need?4.)I need a coral for an open spot in the sand, any suggestions?5.)Any other general suggestions?Serpent Stars can eat fish when they get older.Also, you still think I'm overstocked even with all that live rock?I didn't change water for 3 weeks (live far away from RO/DI source, I'm good now though) and my Ammonia and Nitrite were zero, while Nitrate was 5!I have a bit of algae problem on the glass, but I purchased a Mag Float and that did the trick. I have a fully set up and cycled Oceanic Bio Cube 29 gallon aquarium that has been running for almost 2 months now with no problems. Resolved Question: Salt water Aquarium Setup order of placement? (Remember I will have live sand and rock to boost the "PH" level, at least I think it will)When should I begin to run my Remora Skimmer and Fluval Canister filter? And finally, some live rock that I am yet to buy. I want to know what order I should place all these items in and how long (in terms of days) between the placement of each. I dont want the freshly mixed saltwater to ruin my live sand or rock if I was to do it all at once.Also,Should I buy cured or uncured rock in my situation? I dont plan on adding fish right away, but also dont want uncured rock to mess with my water chemistry, making me wait a long time before i can add fish.Should I mix any additional additives/treatment to my RO treated Sparkletts water other than the salt? I just bought 60 Pounds Live Sand (Fiji Pink - Caribsea Brand, still in packaging), 12 five gallon Water bottles (Reverse Osmosis, Sparklets brand) that I am going to mix individually with Salt (Oceanic brand) prior to pouring in tank.
