Today I brought home a coral banded shrimp and a diamond back goby to add to my 55 with my paired clowns and peppermint shrimp. So turns out this coral banded shrimp is a total dick! he's been going at my peppermint shrimp all day, looked like he wanted to go at my clowns too. big no no. So he...

alright, this kinda makes sense.

I guess this is where I get slightly confused as well. You say it wouldn't drop enough water, but as far as I understand, the only limitation of the flow of a siphon is the size of the hose. What am I missing?

So I have a 55gal with a HOB filter. I am planning to build a sump soon, however I built a stand and canopy fit specifically for the tank/filter combo. Learning more and more I want to build a sump. So my question is: Could I drill a hole in my HOB filter to take water down to my sump? I would...

So before I had known about fishless cycling I had added fish. They basically are stuck there because I don't have any other tank or options and all that so here are my questions -Now that they are in the tank what can I do? Should I add some sort of water treatment or just hope these fish can...

also possibly a form of stress which would be closer to just uncomfortable due to their habitat not being properly set.
