Im ordering <a href="http://www.fishneedit.com/t5ho-24quot-2-lamp-aquarium-l.html">this light</a> sometime next week. I have read many reviews about their fixtures and haven't heard any bad news about them.

I need some help picking out a CUC so tell me your sugestions. I have a bit of a GHA problem and detritus too.

Thanks Jarred

Jarred- Like the tank I have a 3 gallon nano and just went to a 10 gallon, did you get the lights yet? I am shopping around for some as we speak, I have one from Coralife now, but like the ones you are getting better.

Thanks for the PM
I still have not decided if or when I will add fish-tank is about 6 weeks old. I left for 2 days, removed the filter and came back today to see my tank was a bit cloudy....need a bigger filter....
What do you use to check your salinity? Plastic or refractometer?
I wish I could find a way to keep tabs of sumpless 10 gallon threads..fun watching the diversity....thanks again for the info.

 

[Jarred1]

i use the float arm thing to test my salinity and i go the the LFS for them to use the refractometer on my water to see what it is really at. go to that site i told you and look under members aquariums and there a plenty of sump less 10g's there. I waited 6 weeks as well to add my first fish and i think im only going to add a fire fish now.
