the fuge in those aio is tiny. It’s not going to do what you think it is.

Oh ok. Would it work tough? I’ve seen tons of people do it

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Will the live rubble be sufficient for the tank?

 

[Dcal]

i thought you decided on fiji pink

 

[NoahLikesFish]

No I’m using rubble because it’s cheaper than live rock

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Would I have some stuff Alive with real live rock if it was in a ups truck? Or would I be better getting the rubble because it can be air shipped

 

[Tamberav]

It’s just a chamber for a media basket and a chamber for a return pump and heater.

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Oh. There’s only 2 chambers but 1 is full?

I’m thinking about buying this. Is it justifiable to spend 100$ more on LR?https://www.kpaquatics.com/product/aquacultured-live-rock/

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Argh it is so tempting

The tanked people literally puffed a porcupine puffer on the intro and didn’t die. I think it’s OK to puff a puffer if you know they will be safe when going back into the water. Like if you were doing it on a fishing charter to show why they are called puffers. Dont puff your pet puffer though

The people on that show are awful. They put the spectacle of their ridiculous tanks above the well-being of the fish. I know there are proponents of the concept of an instant cycle, and while I’m not sure I’m convinced of (converting ammonia is only part of the cycling process, IMO), putting 15 fish in an hours old aquarium with only some bottled bacteria and no live rock is just irresponsible and unethical, and they do this for every aquarium they set up (I know people do this for trade shows, but they only leave it up for a couple days and do massive water changes if need be). I also think the show gives people a really unrealistic view of the hobby.

I’m talking for educational purposes. I don’t like it but for a unknowing person about the ethics of it to show it to another uneducated person seems okay

You know, there are comments that you make here and there that really make me question whether you should have animals in your care. Intentionally terrorizing a fish isn’t cool, regardless of whether it’s for ‘educational purposes’ (and what does that even mean? Why does anybody need to see a puffer puff up?). Not cool.

as far as I know, KP isn’t shipping/accepting orders until this fall

I know it's a bit off topic, but have we selected and ordered a tank for this build yet ?

yeah they also overstock way too small tanks and under decorate them. All those fake coral things they use are ugly

Yes

 

[NoahLikesFish]

They are so bad at hiding their sponsorships too

 

[NoahLikesFish]

Help

I mean like if you caught one while fishing. Of course don’t grab one and puff it but it’s basically gaeunteed to puff if you catch one

If you had a tanked 2500 gallon and you were do8ng the right amount of wc. They use nutri sea water, 4$ a gallon. That’s 10000$ to fill and if you do enough wc (25% a week for their stocking) 10000$ a month
