You only need an undergravel filter and you'll be fine.

If you want to make lots of friends go online and ask if you can keep 2 "Dorys" in your 10 gallon tank

A Kessil 360X will suffice for use on a 2 gallon pico as long as it is on the highest setting and as close to the surface of the water as possible. The addition of a strobe light is known to induce spawning (see; setting up a pico frag tank). Keeping with the 1.5 lbs per gallon rule of live rock is critical however this can be bypassed and cycling made near instantaneous when instead filled with soft corals and carefully swirling in few hand fulls of dirt. Longevity of inhabitants can be extended indefinitly by maintaining salinity above 93 ppt as it acts as a preservative.

Activated carbon is expensive, just use Kingsford easy light charcoal

You pay for carbon? Just find an ash tray (large retailers will sometimes have the large ones by the door) scoop out the ashes put in a cut up pair of pantyhose and place directly in the sump. Do not rinse. Also contains some other good stuff like potassium oxygen and even calcium. Your welcome

If you lose power, alka seltzer works great in an emergency to aerate your tank.

Ash trays? Dude you are joking that will take you weeks, now a days nobody smokes. The real treasure is in your chimney stack. Way more ash for your buck.

Hey thanks did not even think about that and I will no longer have to ignore the awkward stares and the occasional pictures/videos of me digging around in the ash trays

If you want to get rid of that ugly hair aglae step 1add 1 pack of of pink hair die per 10gal
Step 2 leave in tank for 15minz and then do a 20% water change with fresh water

If you would like to change the look of you fish and say you want a pink shark then skip step 2 and leave it in your tank will clear up in a day or two
This can be done with blue, black, pink any one like just not red that will KILL all Your fish

It’s ok. Just go on out and buy all the frags, fish, and equipment you want. Then go home and tell your wife exactly how much money you spent and she will love you for it!

 

[Proteus Meep]

Delicious.....

 

[tastyfish]

A clove of garlic solves everything

 

[Shon]

Acclimation? That is a spell check error. It's supposed to be acceleration. Get the fish into the water as fast as possible.

 

[Proteus Meep]

seriously ....don't try this at home

1. Mantis shrimp are excellent cleanup crew and love to play with your fingers
2. Earthworms are also excellent cleanup crew, and come to the surface when they're full
3. Puffers will get along well with every fish, even very small ones
4. You need to hire a barber to trim your hair algae

 

[Joekovar]

If you buy all natural supplements you can just add all of them any time you like because they all came from nature so naturally the sum of all those parts will be equal to nature.

 

[Jpconer]

You want to keep calcium at 0.01 and your phosphates between 400-450...

 

[EMeyer]

$100 or higher is a totally normal price to pay for a frag, as long as the seller calls it high end
