Hi, I will be getting this up to keep fishes and corals. I figure eventually I will be adding in more corals, and I don't want to be limiting myself in that nature if I decide to go with a not-so-good light. I did look at the link in the stickies in regards to the DIY Sump, and doesn't seem...

Hi all, I am looking to setup a new tank, to replace my current 20 Gallon tank. The size is probably going to be around 55 Gallon, and went into the LFS today to see what's avaliable. They do have one that's 36"x18"x20" if i remembered correctly, and after chatting with the owner for a little...

Thanks all :) Where did it come from?? I've had the tank for approximately 3 months and this is the first time i see him out!

Hi all, I saw this thing hiding between the rocks a few days ago, but I was only able to see the legs waving. Today I looked at the tank again, it came out! What is it?? Here's a pic (the piece in the middle): Is it a sea star? It has 5 legs in total, it can move quite fast by grabbing...

Looks like the tang is going to be gone after tonight. Just floating at the bottom of the tank. :(

Thanks for the replies. I think I will start on fixing his diet, monitor the water quality, and also add one of 2 tiny cleaner shrimps to it. I picked up some dry seaweed sheets, cut them up in small pieces, stuck a piece between 2 of the rocks, however he doesn't seem to be interested at all...

Thanks for all the advice. At no way I am taking it as personal attack MACATUA, since these are all very useful advice. Hara, the tank has been setup for approximately 8 weeks so your guess is close enough. I actually did bring up to the attention of the LFS owner that I have a 20 gallon...

Heading out to get some dry seaweed now. I got it without knowing it needs WAY more space than what I am offering now. Hopefully he can bare with me until my next tank upgrade :roll: Having that said, do you really think this problem was caused by insufficient nutrient? Or does it look...

Hi all, I am having this horrible problem with my yellow tang, and I hope that I am not too late to get on here to seek for solution. I got my yellow tang approximately a month ago, and for the first few days, I did realized some black ich on it. Without knowing much about these diseases back...

The tank I have is just a tank from walmart, which came as a kit. The light is also the one that came with it. I don't plan on having any anemone anytime soon as they are pretty tough to take care of, at least from what i have heard.

The way that the LFS owner taught me was: Week 1 Day 1 -Add in the sand -Add in water (with water conditioner) -Mix the salt in the tank to get to the right salt level -Add in the two filters I have -Let it run for around 2 week Week 3 Day 1 -rinse the materials in the filters with the tank...

Hi, Money is not an issue, I will definitely add more LR to the tank soon. In terms of the clown, the store offered an exchange, however I said I wanted to try some dry flakes first. Guess what? It works! The clown gone crazy for the flakes and he's active again. I am going to try it...
