you cannot and should not use salt with those species. FW bottom feeders, especially like plecos and loaches and corys do not take well to salt...
Oh man how I hate Bio-Spira. When this product first hit the market, I got a batch of it in, and attempted to cycle a FW and another SW tank with...
The relaxsea models have filtration built in. It runs an under gravel plate with a small powerhead up top and over a sponge and bio bead media...
There are a couple ways to do a sump. If you are not doing a fuge, I would go with a 200M filter sock around the drain pipe, then your skimmer and...
One of my clients has a 80g FOWLR and thought they were free corals when he bought live rock for the system. He loves them, and it spares me the...
what are your water parameters? how long was the fish at the LFS from where you got it? how did you acclimate it? try some of the following: mysis...
hahaha, what reef_guru said. Yeh, I remember that. What island are you on? When I visited last, there were a couple shops here and there that had...
The ammonia and nitrites are converted with aerobic bacteria, nitrates are not, you need anaerobic bacteria, a fuge, or water changes for that....
:D. I think this thread simply shows that in this hobby, there are a million ways to do the same thing. A lot of it is based on individual...
*nods* patience is bliss in this hobby.
fish may die for many reasons. This can include already existing health issues, shipping issues, diet, water quality. There are many other factors as...

Well, you don't use large live rock pieces, you use rubble rock, 1"-2" in size. You will get the same water spread as you will bio-balls due of the...
Well, for one thing, the drip plate is a mechanical filter cartridge designed to hold a filter pad and to disperse the water evenly over the...
The bio-load increase from a Wet/Dry system does not come from smaller droplets. The bio-capacity is increased because the water runs over a surface...
It's not the outside surface area. Live Rock is Porous. It provides ten times the surface area for bacteria to live on. And i didn't say nitrite, i...
I don't believe a trickle system increases your bio-load at all. It does a good job of supporting bacteria to convert ammonia an nitrites, but your...
Cause they're pretty :D I like gf, they got tons of personality :D
The two will out grow the 15g tank. Goldfish get roughly 10"-12" full grown. They eat like crazy and you will have nitrate issues in about 6 months...
i've seen this behavior a couple times. Its rare, but it happens sometimes. btw, does your clown have an anemone
