Do you top off your water with salted or fresh? What do you normally keep your salinity at? Just wondering...
60 gallon aerator might be a little too much for that small of a container, I used only a small 50watt powerhead. Make sure the heat doesn't get too...
Did you test the salinity of the water before putting it in? Do you know what the LFS salinity is at?
LOL....good one!!!!
What do you mean "up and running" through every move? You broke it down right? I am picturing you putting the whole tank inside a car and plugging it...
How big is your QT? And what do you have it set up like? How many fish were in there at once?
If you have corals in your tank you are going to want to set up a QT for hyposalinity. I use garlic guard, it's like $10 from LFS. Just a few drops...
Oh, another important fact. I just read, out of 8 books I got from the library finally I read some good info. It said that if your filter media...
So I have read in the SAME book 2 separate theories for stocking. One said that for every inch of fish you should allow 4 gallons, and a couple...

OK, I lied. I am a wife and I am the BOMB!!!! haha
I feel everyday that my tank is not at it's peak. I think it is because I am so new to the hobby. I also think that I KNOW there are too many dead...
I just copied and pasted this from another thread. The only difference for you is that you will probably want to take out your substrate and possibly...
When you mix up top off water, just make it be the salinity you eventually want your tank to be at. For instance, if you want it at 1.025 then make...
More than one would seem out of the ordinary to me. My first thought was a scratch or a nip from another fish BUT now that you have observed another...
I can beat all of you I am still an embryo in my mommy's tumm tumm
Yea, fish food! Also, your LFS might have a bottle of bacteria that they use for their personal tanks. Petco gave my a couple drops of it. Or you can...
I think your fish, especially tangs, would be happier in one of those 27gallon long rubbermaids that I mentioned. The only reason being that it is...
