Looks like my first post under fishoholic was Dec 30 2007 but that doesn't make sense cause if I signed up May 2007 there should of been posts from May/07 maybe I searched wrong for my 1st post Denny if you can find it post it for me please.

However I was posting under my ex's account for a long time before I started my own. I think (not 100% sure) this was my first ever post on canreef

-what kind of coral, rock, sand and bottom feeders/fish would you recommend for stabilizing tank and how many of each would you recommend?

-is darker setting better than having an aquarium in a bright area?

Thank you for any info you can provide

I still have much to learn

I actually had to Google this to see what I was selling... Green Star Polyps on steroids.

I started my first post with something like "Why acclimate fish!" :P

Hello everyone,

This is my first post over here and I guess I will have to start with a question that can either be stupid to some people or thoughtful to others :P

Anyway, so the basic procedure to introduce a fish a tank is through acclimating it first. As far as I have seen, the most common is to perform temperature acclimation and then slowing drip water into the water that the fish is in.

Now it is suppose to be done so that the fish adjusts to the water IN THE TANK.

Now my question is, when the water from the tank is dripping into the bag of the fish, the salinity is OBVIOUS to be changed unless the salinity of the bag and the water from the tank is same! Because mixing water of different salinity will increase the net salinity in the bag and will keep on changing too since in a small volume of water, new water is being poured and the concentration of salt will keep on increasing. And then when the fish is introduced to the tank, it again gets a whole new salinity to get adjusted to.

This thought actually made me confused a little bit. So what I have decided is, I am maintaining a 1.022 salinity in my tank since most of the stores (what I have heard) maintains that salinity and hence, I am expecting the salinity difference can be overlooked.

Anyway, I am new to saltwater world and is starting my first FOWLR tank. I would love to hear what other got to say on my thought.

Thanks

I'm in Calgary and am always on the lookout for people to trade frags with. Drop me a line sometime.

Happy to see the numbers have grown somewhat!
