I have a JBJ nanocube 28 gal. So it has two returns, on both left and right sides of the tank. I have replaced the them both over time. But nothing over the original 266gph that come in them for a total of 532 gph in the tank. I want to ramp it up. I want to go with two 315's or 370's. Is that...

Haha yes. Both are. That's so cool. That makes me sad too. I'm sorry man. I've heard the clown trigger fish is the only one like a dog but I've heard so many stories about how smart little fish are its amazing.

Sounds like a plan. Will do thank you. :)

So i just got one of the best christmas present ever, my mom was in town and i took her today with me to get some water and she hadn't bought me anything for christmas yet…. probably because i told her i dont want anything, But anyhow she wanted to buy me a fish and i wanted a little midas...

Just test for nitrite and none present. So no ammonia no nitrite and I'm putting some de*nitrate tomorrow. As well as a 4 Gal water change. Ive had 2 little green chromis and 3 hermit crabs living it there for a little bit now. 3 days for the chromis and 5 days for the hermit crabs and its going...

I just went and got an api ammonia test kit and no ammonia came up. I know In the picture it looks green but I think it's my light because it looks light yellow In person. Anyhow got some green chromis to put in it. Will put a pic up when they're in.

Yeah Ordered one. Its on its way. Hermit crabs are doing great still though. Thinking about throwing a chromes in.

Been 48 hours no sign on any ammonia and 3 hermit crabs have been in there for 24 of those hours. Still going strong. Just an update.

Also is there anything from my current tank like water, sand, rock that could help speed up the process or help the process?

Yeah I hear you. Im a pool guy so i understand the need for them I have hardness pH and both digital salinity tester and refractometer. So all i need really is ammonia nitrite and nitrate. But no i am not planning on having any coral in it any time soon. Im merely setting this tank up for my...

Sorry no test kit, I guess i should probably get one... I just bought this little ammonia tester and it says theres no ammonia in it the tank. My plan was to hope there was no need for tank to cycle again and to check if it was i have the little ammonia tester in there to tell if it spikes, if...

No there isn't. But I am in somewhat of a time restraint. Just trying to get it done as soon as possible as a christmas gift. So I don't want to tear it down if i don't need too. So what I am getting at is what are the fears of letting it go? it looks really clean as of now. The salinity is at 26.

Ahh I wish I would've done that. I didn't. It's already filled up and running. do you think it's going to be alright? Should I just let it go?

okay cool, thanks. I was about to bag it right now lol.

I just bought one. Are they all bad? He was paired with my goby so i bought both. I had a clown fish die since it has been in the tank. It was a really little one. And an emerald crab died too. But he was like 6 months old and i had never added iodine which i heard you're suppose to do to help...
