Hey all, I've posted a time or two, and asked about transporting an already established 37g tank; well I got it bought and transported successfully. Both fish (damsel and clown) made it fine, as well as the purple lobster, snail, and 4 hermits. Now that all that's done I have questions...

I've got a lobster in my tank with my clown and damsel....no problems at all. The fish swim all around his little hideout all the time and hes never shown any aggression towards them. He pretty much just hides all the time.

hey all, I'm looking into getting an angler for my 40g. Just curious to hear from somebody who's had one to see if they enjoyed them. What other fish could I have in there with one of these guys? I know they'll make a snack out of anything smaller than they are...

Well I checked out Live Aquaria, and am pretty pleased with the types of fish I'm able to have with this tank...I thought i'd be much more limited in my options. I'm thinking of giving away the fish that are in there now, and going with a slightly more agressive route. I love anglers! lol

yeah, thats what I had expected, but the funny thing is, the only time he's been visible is when I turn on all the lights...I think the previoius owner got him off of his schedule. haha. all Is still well with the tank, water is nice and clear, the fish are active, snails and crabs are moving...

Well, I got the tank today, got it home and am now sitting in front of it! :) The fish are swimming along just fine. the Lobster was fine when I put him in there...havent really seen him since, but mainly because the water hasnt really settled yet. still pretty foggy. I'm thinking I'll buy the...

bumpity bump

dang, forgot to put them in. here ya go. first one: Reef Octopus BH 100F Hang on Back Protein Skimmer with Filter System - AquaCave.com second one: Reef Octopus BH100T Hang on Back Protein Skimmer with TOP-OFF System - AquaCave.com

Hi, quick question for someone, im sure...I'm trying to compare two HOB reef octopus skimmers....One is a normal HOB system...rated very highly, the other is similar looking, but has a "Top-Off System" and is slightly more expensive, but I havent seen any reviews...just curious what you all...

So I found two of the Reef Octopus brand HOB skimmers, and they're reasonable in price. (I assume). But there are two variations of it....one normal, and one with a "Top-Off system"...What is that, and what is its bennifits? It's more expensive, but not by much.

Ok, good to know. What would be a good choice to use in my tank?

Another quick questioin, Can I get by without a sump and get a smaller skimmer to hang on the tank? Would that be ok for the size tank I'm looking at? (37gal)

I'm not really in love with them...I've never seen them, but its not exactly what I want...I DO, however, want this lobster. haha. Thank you SO much little_fish! you've helped me tremendously, and I'm sure I'll be back with more questions soon! thanks again!

ahhh, dang....i kinda expected to hear that. So what, in your opinion, would be best? Get this tank for $250/300 or start from scratch with my own? Am I really saving that much money by going this route?

I'm going as slowly as I can at the moment...trying to learn as much as I can before monday, when all of this is probably going to happen. Would it not be possible to leave the sand and fish in the tank with a little less water and just load it up like that? I know it would be heavy to move, but...

ahhh, thanks SO much for the Step-by-step. exactly what I needed! now here's my shopping list for the tank. Lots of buckets and coolers. Toss the old sand, buy new stuff. Toss the old filter, buy new powerhead. Protein skimmer. Sump. A second powerhead? Possible new light bulbs. A few "How...

haha, gotchya on the buckets. What kind of steps should be taken to move it? Yeah, I'll try to get him as low as I can. Kinda what I figured on the national chains...I'll try to find a semi-local fish store, or try to find what I need online. sorry for asking so many questions. I'm trying to...

He's asking $300, but I feel like if I handed him $250 he'd take it. I'm in a very rural area, and getting some of this stuff will be a chore. So i'd like to get as much as I can in one big swoop, and be alright for a while. How much of the stuff listed above (sand, powerhead, skimmer, sump...

think i got them uploaded.....:dunno:

Great minds think alike, eh? That was actually the first question i had to ask; why are you selling a 3 year old tank. Answer: the previous owner is moving to Berkley, California for work, and doesnt think transporting the tank and fish that far would be wise. I'll try to get the pictures posted up.
