I just redid my 98 gallon cube and added a snowflake eel, dogface puffer, blue hippo tang, and a yellow tang. I have had this tank for a while but just changed it's contents. What I am unsure of if a clean up crew with the puffer. I have always had snails, hermits, emerald crabs, starfish and...

So I have had my lights off and the bubble algae is almost gone and the red is a lot less. Does any one know if it is ok to add sand to my sand bed. I am mixing water and I am going to have to remove some to get red algae out of the sand. I don't want to create any more issues than I have...

I have been battling red algae on my rocks. I have been scraping and siphoning off. I do 10% water change every week and have a sump with bio balls,skimmer, and a refugium. I have tested the water and show 0 nitrates and 0 phosphates. I understand that the algae is consuming the nutrients and...

I have a 98 gallon FOWLR with a 4" Niger trigger, a 7" Koran angel, 2 yellow tailed damsels, and 1 blue damsel. My clean up crew consists of serpent star, brittle star, snails and hermits. I want to add a fish but not sure what would so well. My trigger is pretty aggressive so it would need to...

I kind of figured that :(

I have a 98 gallon tank with a koran angel, niger trigger, 2 yellow tail damsels and 2 blue damsels. I have not been able to locate one of the blue damsels in 2 days. My clean up crew is some snails, 2 serpant star fish, a brittle star fish, and some hermit crabs. I have checked the water... 0...

He is very pale. I still can't get him to eat. I am going to try to qt him.

I have had my snowflake eel for a year now. He is about 30" long. He is in a 98 gallon cube tank with a niger trigger, a koran angel, and 4 small damsels. He has always been very healthy and usually eats every few days. For the last week he is acting strange. He is poking his head out in...

Can you take the water to a LFS for testing? I had issues with the API test. I ended up getting a different test. What type of filter are you using? I had an issue once and added a refugium and all is better.

It is a 60 gallon cube. I have lots of live rock/caves in the tank. I hope that they settle down soon. Thanks for your help.

I have a flame angel, 2 clowns, a few crabs and shrimp. Today I added a yellow tang. I was told that the yellow tang can be aggressive to new tank mates but he is the last fish that I am planning to add. However my flame angel is being very aggressive towards the tang. I appears to be chasing...

I have a pair of clown fish that I have had for about 6-8 months. They have always been together. They always slept together and seem to get along well. Last night I noticed that one of them is not with the other. One is by the cleaning magnet(their home?)and the other is in a cave. Is this...

So I had 2 serpent starfish in a 98 gallon cube tank. Today I noticed that there are 3 of them. Do they reproduce in captivity? How many serpent starfish can I have in a 98 gallon tank? I have a 30" snowflake eel and a niger trigger that are both messy eaters, but 3 seems a bit much. What do I...

my angel I have a koran angel and always have luck with pellet food. Seems that she likes food that sinks to the bottom.

That was the flash, I am not sure if is a scrape or what. Seems to be fine with tank mates, will chase damsels away sometimes, and sometimes tries to attack its reflection on the glass.
