Since Monroeville's water contains chloramine as opposed to free chlorine, it cannot be readily removed by leaving the water sit or by bubbling air into it. Dechlorination tablets, readily available at most pet stores, are required for chloramine removal.

Quarantining new fish is a good habit for all aquaria, but is not absolutely necessary for success. Quarantining is simply keeping a fish in a separate tank for long enough to be certain that it is disease free. Many beginners do fine without a quarantine tank, and object to the cost of another setup. See similar questions...

Often 1" per gallon is quoted, but this is only a rule of thumb. Many variables come into play here, including the size and dimensions of your tank, whether it has live plants, and what kind of fish you're stocking. 1 inch of kuhli loach is going to be much less on the bioload than 1 inch of goldfish. Larger fish make more waste than small fish, and generally, you can overstock when you're keeping small schooling fish like tetras. See similar questions...

The number offish that you can fit in your tank is determined by the size, temperament, and eating habits of your fish. The larger the tank, the more fish it will hold proportionally. A one inch fish will require three gallons of water. After one inch, allow approximately two and one half gallons per inch of fish. Remember this is a rough guideline, not a rule. For instance a 30-inch ribbon eel will take up about 20 gallons of tank space, a 30-inch shark would require about 100 gallons. See similar questions...

You do not need a fishing license to fish in private waters. If you are transporting fish off those private waters, either alive or dead, you should have some sort of documentation to prove where these fish where caught. See similar questions...

This will depend on where you are camping. When camping at a campground which has water at each site, filling the tank is not necessary. Just connect your hose (you did get a white hose designed for drinking water, didn't you?) to the city water connection on the side of your pop-up. When camping at a campground which has water available, but not at each site, stop at a water source as you enter the campground and fill up the tank using your hose BEFORE you go to the site to set up the pop-up.

A chilled water system is filled with water at a temperature between 50 and 60?F. When the chiller is turned on, the temperature of the water drops to 45?F. When the water contracts, the system pressure drops, and the fill valve allows more water to enter the system to maintain the system pressure. If the chiller shuts down and the water in the system warms up to room temperature, the rise in temperature from 45? to ambient will cause the water in the system to expand. See similar questions...

Specifically, not an easy question to answer because it really depends on the species and the environment you are putting them in. But as a general rule, for the average filtration system to date, I recommend 1 inch of fish per 1 gallon of tank water for freshwater tanks, and 3 inches of fish per 1 gallon of tank water for saltwater aquariums. Again, as a general rule of thumb. Consult us or your local fish shop for what's recommended for your tank. See similar questions...

I currently have black skirt tetras and head&TAIL light tetras ,2 african dwarf frogs,1 apple snail ,3 cories and a pleco..I have heard that i could actually add a male betta to this mix if i wanted..I didnt think they were community type fish but if they are would love to get one.. I would not recommend a betta for this community tank. The tetras and the frogs are a threat to the betta's welfare <>>>< I have a 10 gallon tank. See similar questions...

Do you know which type of fish tank filters you need? You need to know your fish to know which to use. Learn the type of filters there are and which suits your tank. See similar questions...

The filter within the quarantine system should be fully mature before fish are added. If you have the space it is ideal to run the system continually with just a couple of goldfish and within 4 - 6 weeks the filter should be mature. This process can be speeded up by using a filter primer. The fastest way to get the system up and running is to use some of the mature bio-media from your pond filter. See similar questions...

The general rule of thumb in aquarium keeping is to have no more that one inch of fish per gallon of water. Thus, if you had a twenty gallon tank (with no substrate or rocks to diminish the total water volume), you could have five 4-inch fish. This formula also assumes you will change 25% of the tank volume each week. See What is a water change? Why is it important? for more details. Realistically, however, you will need to consider the following factors when choosing what size tank to purchase: See similar questions...

I suggest using an HP tank with it because the Shocker, as well as 99% of all other guns, are designed to work with HP tanks. LP tanks are only needed on a specific type of Angel, if you don't own that then don't worry about it. Some LP tanks aren't fast enough to perform well on a Shocker. See similar questions...

Of course. Flexcon tanks are designed in the knowledge that chlorine is often used to periodically treat a well. See similar questions...

Reef tanks should be devoid of most butterflies, angels, triggers, parrot fish and other coral eaters. Sand sifters such as watchman gobies, invertebrates which stir the sand are helpful. See similar questions...

This is largely dependant on how long you intend to keep the fish in the system. For a short quarantine of 24 hours you are only limited by the oxygen in the system and this should be carefully monitored. The addition of an air pump is recommended for particularly heavy short term stocking. See similar questions...
