You'll want to remove any dead/dying parts so as they don't decompose in the tank and release nutrients back into the tank. When it's actually dead,...
Are yours 150w or 250w? I believe the 250w are bluer in general. I currently am running 150w Phoenix bulbs and like them, the color is nice, but I...
I don't know what's up with them. The green eyed one was doing great until I had a big mishap with my water parameters maybe 1.5 years ago. It...
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Im always looking to improve it though.
Agreed with this. I had some cloudliness when I added too much soda ash at one time and my PH shifted and Ca precipitated out, or, if you don't have...
I don't like to get overkill heaters, unlike skimmers, I like to fit the heater to the tank for the reason that if it breaks, and gets stuck in the...
Try both, I know some have better luck with freeze dried, while others swear by frozen.
As for the skimmer, there are many HOB (Hang on back) options. Don't worry about trying to get one that is for a 30 gallon tank. I would look for one...

Ok, here's a much needed update on my tank. Now have the 2 150w 14k Phoenix pendants overdriven to 175w. 1 Vortech MP 40 and a Korlia 750 Evo. Fish...
Just ditch it, the rock and sand will provide area for more than enough bacteria.
As for you puffer question, it's best to start a new thread as it will get much more views and responses. As to the anemone, I agree with Blackraven...
Not necessarily true. Clowns are members of the damsel family, but IME, I've found damsels to be hardier, but it can depend on the specific fish too,...
Mine has been great, and I agree with Blackraven. If cramped or already established, it can be a different story.
Yes you made a mistake, but you realize it and want to fix it, which is a huge step forward. A 20 gallon tank is not ideal for a beginner as smaller...
First, let me say I will post some pics when I can, but for now, it's going to be a verbal update. As many of you know, I went from T5s to 2 150w MH...
My skimmer went down for the count and I ran my tank skimmerless for more than 6 months before I came around to purchaser a replacement. No major...
Have you made any decisions as far as where you want to go with this tank having taken in the advice given?
Be careful removing the bioball w/o adequate replacement space for biological filtration. You could risk a cycle which could kill all the fish. I...
