Ok I will read that then. I think from here on out it will just be lots and lots of reading until I decided I am finally ready for one. Thanks for the help guys!
He is very lovely :)
I think it will be close between the chameleon company and chameleon paradise then. I am still in school as well so I don't always have money to spend, so these two should be good. I will definitely ask them any questions I have before I buy though.
So another...
Then I guess I will just see which seems better for me and the panthers and go from there.
So I have looked into reputable online breeders to order panthers and I have found a few. One is one of the forum sponsors, Chameleon Paradise. Another place I found seems really reputable as well, but...
Ok that explains it. I wondered how you balanced the sand and detritus thing. High flow solves that pretty well though. I also like BB so I wouldn't have to syphon as much, but like, my family doesn't like the look. They think it looks unfinished. I wish I could be sandless, but at the same time...
Interesting. How deep is your sand bed? I always siphon the sand because I always seem to get a lot of junk build up. So how long have you been reefing? I'm oncoming about 4 years.
Oh that's not too bad for a cham. I could do that for sure.
Ok how do you only have 30 minute water changes? Is that for the 120 gallon? I really don't like waterchanges and would love to be able have 30 minutes instead of 2+ hours!
So how do you think maintenance compares then? My reef will sometime take me 4+ hours to clean, but that's usually if I do a deep cleaning. 2-3 hours is more like it. My reef also consists of mostly softies, lps, and anemones at this point. I have one lonely little sps frag that is doing...
Interesting. You learn something new everyday.
Ok well I think from here on out will be mostly just reading a bunch of things so I can prepare myself for any new additions in the future. I don't have many questions at this point, but does anybody know of any DIY cage threads I could look at...
Ok scratch that idea then. I thought maybe I could somehow extend the plants past the aquarium walls, but I didn't really take into account the fact that it would be hard to clean.
I read those links that maya provided and it was all some very good info. The only thing I really have to read...
The feeling of being grinded down happens to me sometimes with my fish, minus the not being ready part. It's just the regularity you have to do things (feedings, cleanings, etc.) I think that I don't like as much. Well, that and the fact that at one point I went too fast and had too many...
Thanks for all the info guys. I will be sure to read those links you posted maya. I think though, that I may hold off on a Chameleon for now. I just don't want too many pets, and I don't think I am dedicated enough yet. I am more than likely going to be breaking down my 75 gallon freshwater...
Am I reefer! You will usually find me actively on TRT aka The Reef Tank Forum.
This is the most recent picture of my 120 gallon. Some things have been moved like that patch of xenia in the sand and my small frogspawn frag, so it looks a little different right now. This is the most current...
Whoops, I missed this one. If I get a cham then I will definitely be prepared for it. I don't get pets unless I do lots of research. Well I have fish (fresh and salt) as my personal pets, so I am used to animals that you don't touch. The rest of my family takes care of the dog and cats mostly...
Sounds easy enough. I just wanted to know how long on average it takes for the daily things because sometimes it's the little things that grind me down at times. So if you clean the enclosure every week how long do you think it would take? This is important to me as well because cleaning my...
Hello all on ChameleonFourms, and as you can see I am new here :)
For the past week or so I have been looking into possibly getting a chameleon, preferably a Panther. I have zip reptile experience, but I believe I would be up to the challenge as I currently have a 120 gallon saltwater reef...
