    whats the most GPH i can't put in my return pump?

    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...

    Is my tank going to cycle?

    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.

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

    Is my tank going to cycle?

    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...

    Is my tank going to cycle?

    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.

    pistol shrimp caught finally!!!

    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...

    Is my tank going to cycle?

    So I bought a tank off of craigslist. Its a marine land eclipse system 12 gal. The tank already had sand and some rock in it with about 3-4 gallons of water in it.

    Pink spotted shrimp goby scared or dying? or just weird.

    Thanks for all the help everyone. He ended up pulling through and settling down and meeting back up with his pistol shrimp. So all is good in the tank for now. Idk what it was. Probably just time.

    Pink spotted shrimp goby scared or dying? or just weird.

    I don't think its a coincidence but i recently got a pink spotted goby at my LFS and it was immediately attacked by my maroon clown. It was the second time I tried putting a goby in ( the first was a diamond goby) and the clown attacked it. So I decided that it was time to take him in for some...
