Your right i did not rinse the sand its live sand.Do u have any idea what to do now.It has been 5 days.
it will clear up by itself. is your pump stromg or are you sure the glass doesn't have a film or silt on it? it should hav cleared up by now.

put some live like 20lbs of live rock in there it helps the filtration alot better and its only the 5th day it will prob take a week to start clearing up and when u get live rock putt some in the filter with the bioballs better filtration.. do u like the biocube???

Yes i really like it.Now i want to turn our 55 gallon into saltwater now.I have a pair clowns and 2 spotted cardinals and i cannot add anymore fish because of the female clown. I put a shrimp in there and a firefish and she killed both of them.Do u have a clue in how i can add more fish? I have them in a 14 gallon till i can get the 29 cleared up then i am gonna switch them over.:)

akimmer is good and i can recommend a really good one.
Tunze DOC 9002 Nano Protein
Skimmer by Tunze


just slide it into one of the chambers. or you can do frequent water changes. corals need water movement, yes so a powerhead or some type of pump that moves a good amount of water is needed

just go without a skimmer for now and use carbon in the filterchamber and see if you can run the aquarium without one. just do water changes more often. like once every 2 weeks change 3 gallons or so.

hi all

hi i'm new to the fish scene and need some advice as every shop i go to tells me something different!
I have just bought a 30 litre biorb and want to have a marine (saltfish) aquarium.
What is the maximum number of medium sized fish i can put in there?
My son wants a clown fish and i want a regal tang.
I was hoping to put 3 fih in there but obviously want to make sure this is safe for them.
one shop told me i could put 4 fish in then another told me 2.
I'm so confused!!
I plan to put living rock in there too.
PLEASE HELP ME!:roll:

regal tank is definitely a no go in a nano. they typically need 100 gallons or more. the amount of fish depends on type. you could put gobies in there and the clown for sure. just pick fish that require small spaces. yes if you go to a hundred stores and ask a question you'll get 100 different answers. the only consistency is inconsistency when it comes to advice in this hobby.

i'd stay away from the damsel. too agressive. you cant have different types of clowns otherwise they'll fight. check with pasfur but i don't think 2 different clowns will live in a small area peacefully.
