It's a filter that was in my bio cube that I moved to the 20 gallon. So it has plants growing on it, and copapods on it too.

I added a old carbon filter, that should jump start the cycle right?

I read it in a book just now that adding a old one should work.

yea, neither will I.

as far as lighting goes i have on the tank a:

48" T5HO 54w

1 x 18,000k

1 x Actinic

36" T5 21W

1 x 6,700K

1 x colormax

what do y'all think?

ok, every thing is out of the tank and in my 40 gallon tank. once the tank cycles i will put it all back.

I'll take them out in about a week or lees, just so that their is some build up on ammonia, for the cycle to start. that take them out and wait a week that put them back.

well i traded the wrasses for a yellow clown goby, that my girlfriend wanted and than bought 3 frags, a purple chalice with green mouths and some orange.

Gone

Well I did a good water change on all my tanks, and my girlfriend does not like the fish so yea, im going to trad him in for another fish.

You know I'm not sure I did 50% of the water from my old tanks and made new water.

Nope, no live rock, it's just going to be a frag tank.

water is in the tank and my first fish.

Lunar wrasse from pet co. that we have had for a month or so.

Yea I go to the Austin aqua dome all the time.

Thanks on the info.

Online, best quality and price.

What are some local places as well, that have a good price on coral frags?

We're is a good place to get good corals for a good price?

I cleaned out the tank, and added some crushed coral, not live though.

Hello all, I'm starting a new tank and wanting to do a blog on what I'm doing each time I make a change to the fish tank. the tank is a 20 gallon long. the tank recently was a tank that had two pink skunk clowns in it, they have anew home, and I wanted to start a frag tank. so right now the tank as about one inch of sand in the bottom of the tank, I will build a frag rack to be placed with in the fish tank.

The lighting for the tank is going to be a T5-HO two bulb 54W 48" fixture.

time to add water and Make a frag rack!

Which anemones split, I know the BTAs split, I think seabays do but I'm not sure. Anyone know?

I went to a friends house to get a new fish tank and i filled it up last night with freshwater to make sure their were no leaks, and their is still water in the fish tank. so tomorrow I can start to set the take back up.
