Thanks guys. Everything is OK fish and coral-wise, so ill leave it alone. I have to warn u guys though, I will run right back to the computer and post some more questions if I see anything threatning. LOL.

Ill take up the least amount of your time cause i see that there are 10000 worm posts. I did a search but didnt find what i found this morning. Its green and red and hides under the gravel. The only reason I noticed it was because it has little green tentacles that pop outta the rocks...

haha, no sunlight at all. The house was locked up while I was gone. Neighbor came over to feed the fish and dogs, but that was it. No company for this little guy. Hes alreadu trying to fight me thru the glass, I can only imagine what he would do to another fish is his house. Ill clean it...

160 gal tnak with a sole 4 inch red devil. He's been in there for about 4 months all alone. Went to Cabo San Lucas for a week and when I got home yesterday there is a coating of this bright green slimy stuff on the glass. Its more evident where the filters blow water back in to the tank...

But do I need them?? Its a 160 gal with 2 1000 cannisters, but I dont like the fake look the bubbles give. Other tanks Ive had I used bubbles because I always thought I HAD to, but I never asked if it was 100% necessary. So I ask for your opinions.

Thanks but this tank has been nothing but trouble and money from the start. I broke it down and it is now freshwater. Im going to put in a baby red devil and watch it grow into a massive beautiful red devil. I still have my 55 gal saltwater that seems to be just fine with 2 shrimp, a turbo...

Everything has died. Everything was OK till friday, now its tuesday morning and all 5 fish have died. They all got bleached white eyes and had white filmy stuff on them, then died within 12 hours of this. Then after they died their eyes went back to normal. Im heartbroken and I really didnt...

Thanks, Ill change it again tomorrow. Hopefully I have no dead soldiers in the morning. :(

Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 20 PH 8.0 These are the only tests I have. I really dont want to lose the lionfish, should I take him out and put him another 55 tank I have setup with some shrimp and crabs or will he infest that tank also?? None of the fish ate today

Ill try my best to explain my situation. I have a 160 FO with 2 big cannisters and a protein skimmer. 1 lionfish, a squirel (sp?) 1 damsel (left over from cycling 6months ago), 1 med sized yellow tang and another med sized sailfin tang. The squirel is the lastest entry and that was about 1...

Can u put LR rubble in the bottom of a canister instead of bioballs?? I have bio-balls and high nitrates that I cant get rid of with no LR in the tank. Id love to put some in the bottom of the 2 canisters I have and hopefully alleviate my nitrate problem.

Did the cleaning today so ill check it a few days. LFS told me that my lionfish will grub on any shrimp or snails I put in. He did suggest a starfish though??

All it says on the box is "Jet Venturi System" with "Air injection Control." It hangs on the back of the tank. I think im going to look into a new one. The one I just bought for my 55 gal. (JEBO) works great and it really quiet. With the JEBO, its being shot through these impellers you...

HAHA, I just tested my 55 gal I just setup 2 days ago and the nitrate test I was using before is reading 10. Rediculous. Its not even registering ammonia yet, but has nitrates. lol No, its not the strips, its 2 bottles with 10 drops of each. Oh well. I guess ive been fooled. Thanks...

They never go over 20ppm and I read that its not dangerous till over 200. I dont know if thats safe, but am I in the green as long as it stays close to 20 all the time?? EDIT: I went and bought a second test to see what it would read and it says ZERO nitrates!!! WTF. Which test do I...
