Don't feel bad, my main tank is almost 5 years old and I have very little coralline algae on the rocks, none on the tank walls, and none on the...
I forgot that the tank was that young. My mistake on that point, sorry. :( My clown acted very odd after losing his first anemone. After 3 weeks...
I had a powerhead that had a burr on the impeller that made clicking sounds at random. I freaked and thought I had a pistol shrimp. I turned off...
I usually temp acclimate the bag for at least an hour before I start water acclimating the fish. I generally will add 2-3cc's of tank water into the...
I was thinking the same thing. Puffers can get as large as 18", which is a whole lot of fish. They need at least 80 gallons by themselves.
Add to that a tiny powerhead to break surface tension on the water. It will help the water cool down even more with the fans. I get my 20G down to...
I agree, SG is a bit too high, get it down to 1.024. Calcium is very low too. I would also try some melafix if you haven't removed him from the...
What's the SG of your tank? Add to your air exchange by adding a low rate powerhead that will disturb the surface of the water. I suggest having...
This is the kind you want to get: Titanium Ground Probe As for the loss of color, it's normal. My 4 striped damsel looks like a white damsel near...
Awesome, congrats! I have their lamp tree, I'm waiting for the foot plate still though. :)
The fish in teh tank will dig the sand how they want, blowing it with their tails. A deep sand bed can create some nitrate problems in the future if...
Anemone has grown quite nicely since placing it in the tank.
Hugging his new buddy.
If that is the tank in question, that is a DEEEEEP sandbed, wow. Looks pretty stocked for a new tank. :(
Over the next 2 weeks, get your SG down to 1.009, hypo-salinity helps battle ich. Get your pH up to 8.3, it's way too acidic right now. Also check...
Sounds like ich, except the black spots. What is the pH? Specific gravity? We will need all the parameters and info of your tank to really be able...
One thing that I didn't notice in the article is the habit that some aquarists neglect to follow, and that is using aquarium safe gloves. Our bodies...
I know what you mean. My house seems to be all fish tank. At my entryroom sits my nanocube. Then in my living room area sits my 150G on one wall,...
I was afraid of the same thing. My tank is 33" deep so I had to get MH, it's a 250W with 130W of CF actinics, which replaced my 260W CF fixture. I...
I used to run a Coralife 65W 10000K/460 combo CF on my 20G tank. When the ballast burned out, I replaced it with my 70W HQI with 14000k bulb. I was...
