My spotted puffer got caught in the powerhead intake for my protein skimmer ( he is rather small, and its a large powerhead ) . Sadly it took me a couple of minutes to figure out he was gone, once I saw the powerhead wasn't working I figured it out and got him out. My first questions is: Is it...

great, thanks for the advice. I thought some cleaners may help the tank out a bit ( its looking pretty rough since I haven't been doing water changes, cleaning the glass, etc.. ), but I will wait till both are gone. I guess the "dirty" look to the tank is making me impatient. I'm really glad I...

There isn't much of the brown stuff, hardly enough to notice on anything but my lr, but the tank just seems to have a "tint" to it. if the ammonia stays down is it safe to add a fish or two? was thinking of starting of with some cleaners or something until I am more comfortable with the tank and...

Thats good to hear, at my lfs they said the figure eight wouldn't survive it but the green spotted would. but their advice.. like seemingly every other lfs .. changes regularly. I may leave them in the brackish tank though because they are aggressive , there are two of them in a 20 gallon tank...

I have a 30 gallon saltwater tank that I setup about 2-3 weeks ago. In the beginning I added Fritz-Zyme #9 after a couple of days, then about a week ago I added about 4 pounds of live rock and even more recently about the same of live sand. Two or three days ago the ammonia and nitrite...

thanks reefrunner, I took him out and put him back in his old home with the puffers. i dont want to ruin my lr, guess i will have to be very careful when selecting fish for my tank that they dont like to munch on those critters?

I put a live rock in my tank about a week ago and it seemed to be doing very well, with a polyp already growing. But I put my silver scat in the tank today ( I was told as they age they should be moved to salt water ) and he seems to be eating everything off the live rock.. can he keep it from...

looks like thats the case, my tap water tested the same. grrr, the fish store is closed and now i am very curious as to the Real ammonia content :/ guess ill call walmart and see if they sell a kit thanks very much :)

well, i have 3 tanks, and no matter what i do they all seem to test the same. the solution that i put in the testing kit also seems very 'viscus' , like there are many long particles floating around in it. Its also very yellow, and the water seems only to dilute the yellow. Not sure if they...

Hi there and happy fathers day! I was wondering if it was ok to use freshwater tests on a saltwater tank? i am trying to cycle the tank and right now I have a deluxe freswater test kit. I wanted to use the nitrite and ammonia , ph , gh kh etc.. tests if possible. I tried them and got these...
