umm no.
even a 900 gal tank for the fish is like us living in the boot of our car.
think where the fish come from..the oceans.
so although i agree with you on 2 gal tanks are bad, there just as bad as anyother
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amSo a 10 gallon tank …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amSo a 10 gallon tank would be bad right
They are disgusting …

a jawfish? dude …
a jawfish? dude they’re supposed to dig and make a hole, and need at least 4 inches of sand, which they WILL dig up. So if your jawfish isnt digging it may have problems with the tank.
but I can understand the blennies, theyre awesome
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amif it is a very …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amif it is a very thin amount then im 99% sure the fish will see no need to dig it out .. i have convict blennys and jawfish in the past i never had a problem then and i dont have this problem no … the only problem i had .. was my convict will pick up hermit crabs in his mouse and use then to add to his cave XD they get away tho dont worry
it is true that the …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amit is true that the water that evapourates has no salt in it .. therefore your salinity can rise a little … but i cover my tanks with drip trays .. so any water evapourating .. drips straight back in .
anyway it really …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amanyway it really doesnt matter cause if the fish dig it out, that defeats the purpose of putting a first layer down. -.-
how deep?
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amhow deep?
but if your water …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 ambut if your water has evaporated, then only get r/o water (not salty r/o water) as the salt will remain in your tank and by adding salty r/o water will be bad. only add salty r/o water at the beginning of setting it up and then on water changes.
best gal for shark …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 ambest gal for shark !!… the biggest size you can get my friend!! i take it your not on about a great white .. but you will still need at least around 250 gal… other wize it would be like locking ou in ur rest room all your life .. you gotta consider these things will grow and will get bored be fare and get the biggest u can get .
i have heard all …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 ami have heard all this and im quite aware of what could” happen but i place a fine layer of sand down before the live rock that way any sharp edges wont damage the glass .. then place the remainding sand down after that.
its clear seal …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amits clear seal filter but i wouldnt reccomend it .. i would say get an external canister filter if you dont have a sump there about £20 of ebay from hongkong or around $35 there handy cuz they take up no room in the tank and you can have easy access to it .. also make sure you have a skimmer
where can i get …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amwhere can i get that filter? or what do i search on ebay. please respond im getting a tank in the very near future.
your supposed to …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amyour supposed to place live rock in before sand. That way it creates a foundation for the rock that cant be dug out and collapsed as easily by the marine inhabitants.
what the best gal …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amwhat the best gal for shark? can u tell me?
yes because if the …
November 3rd, 2009 at 7:12 amyes because if the live rock is sitting on the sand the structure could collapse ruining your whole reef structure or falling onto the glass even breaking it, the sand acts as a kind of holder
