Do you have pics to show? I'd love to see it... I need to get my aquarium up and running, i miss it:-(
I should have known. Here's a big "HAHA" to my question :)
I have an 290L aquarium to sell and would love to advertise it to a club like that - it seems like a waste of time to put it in the classifieds here in Qatar. Oh well, next move :)
A big NO

Is there an aquarium club in Doha?
This post just got a life
[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
there is a very nice aquarium shop in Salwa Road right across KFC, they sell nice fishes too...

is possible i can contact u by phone.
I do have experience with the fresh water tanks.
Cichlid fishs are colorful as sea water fishes are.
It is easy to care, but it is not comman in Doha, it is available, but not that much.
If you want, I could send you some pictures on ur personnal e-mail for my fishes.
on fish. If you are satisfied with the ordinary fresh water fishes commonly taken care of by many hobbyist, go for the fresh water tank ( and easier to maintain). But if you fancy exotic and very colorful fishes, go for the salt water tank. But of course a little bit harder to maintain and the fishes are expensive

hi alasi !!! so based upon your experience, which type of aquarium is better fresh water or sea water???
I do have a 7-8 years experince
I am glad to help any one who has questions?
I do have two huge aquariums(fresh water) with cichlid type, Malawi, Tanganita lakes.
I got alot of babies from my fishes, so I am ready to help.
If you have GOLD FISH,...the water very easy to contaminate with AMONIA (couse OVER FEEDS).
And also FEEDING.
Dont feeds you fish like our daily diet.
Feed 1 time per days, and dont let spoiled your aquuarium. the remain food will degradated became amonia and will toxic to your fishes.
Can you imagine they berath with own urine?.......
wiuhhhhh
Thanks

In Qatar, we can use biological filtration system for marine aquarium. Metal Halide, if just fish only, I dont think is mandatory to have.
I sugest you to use tube with the code 865. for example philips 865, that would be enough for fish only.
For corals spesially stonny corals, your tank size will be very full of attached equipments.
For reducing amonia,.....i just need 2-3 weeks.
BTW,
Have you circulated the aquarium during 2-3 month?
and do you have live rock inside there?
How thick your base sands?
Do you also use skimmer?
How much in daily you top-up the aquarium?
I can help you to set-up.
or you go to reefcentral.com for more detail
Thanks

I just arrived back in doha after 5 weeks holiday...
and found out all my fish are gone... so sad...
I have asked my neighbour to give sera holiday fish food every week, but it didn't help. Maybe my house become too hot while no aircon is working during the last 5 weeks..
So sad, I just cleaned my aquarium today... :(
i stay alone.. i also want a fish tank.. but i wonder how much i need to care?? Coz busy work times n all..
btw here we have clean sea water i go to wakrah to harvest sea water for water change salt here is expensive

If you going to Buy this aquarium ..try to buy only 15 gal. tank..underwater filter so that the dirt will go only under the gravel..or If you like to see it bubly try to buy this Overhead Filter that would fits your aqaurium..and also FEED ONLY 2 to 3 times a day ..just small portion so that the water be not be contaminated and the fishes will not be poison.
For New hobbyish be guided that Goldfish 8 fishes and 1 Black Oranda Or Black Moore will bring Goodluck...
the longer u wait the better you ammonia level gets stabilized
btw i have a 50 gallon tank
in a Marine tank patience is a virtue you dont need to stock in too fast as mortality rate will be high

sir..thanks for the nice info...i need to sleep now..thanks and goodluck ..may you make the marine aquarium in doha.
..so your doing is after the mixtured of marine salt and water you are going to wait for the mos(2 or 3) to stablize the water?I think that will be too LONG.....what is the water level salt your preparing?sory i just want to know.i'm very much fasinated abt marine aquarium.Budget wise is a big deal..but i think putting up and waiting for that long is not the proper procedure...Unless you are making one Big Tank?!5,000 gal.
my tank is old normally u have to wait atleast 2 to 3 months but that will depend on you sump design
[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
so you're still in the process on preparing?Hows is the Mixture of water as per bag of marine salt?What is the time frame of putting up fish to your tank?how long you are going to wait to stabilize the water?
no corals coz i am still waiting for MH lights they are not available here
as per budget for a tank there is no thing as budget lol
[img_assist|nid=50852|title=hmm|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Near Carpet Center there is Golden Fish Aquarium Shop (4310304) they will even set it up with Filter, Water pump Air pump and all thats needed but tell them you want undergravel filter this will minimize frequent water changes.
BTW dont go for a small Aquarium go for a medium size its good for the fish to have enough room to swim about
