I'm in the process of changing apartments and in the new apartment I'm downgrading my 125g to a 55g. I kept my clown loaches, my bristle nose pleco and my common pleco. I'm going to keep them housed in a 20g tank until I get everything set up. The problem is, that won't be until early...

My wife and I picked up 10 lbs of live rock yesterday for the fowlr tank we're setting up. I've started the curing process, placed in a rubermaid tub, completely submerged in saltwater, heater, power head ect. I am going to start scrubbing tonight, my question is to what extent do I need to...

Do you have any links for the HOB systems?

We have a 20 gallon saltwater that has been running for a little over a year now. We haven't had any real problems, just a suicidal clown that decided to jump out of the tank. We're moving into a new apartment and we will have this tank in our living room. We will be adding live rock in...

Would live rock, powerheads and a strict water changing schedule support that bioload?

We have a 20 gallon aquarium which contains two clowns a few snails and a handfull of crabs. We've been running a Ac300 on it for quite a while and I'm getting tired of the salt creep. Are there any other filtration options for such a small bio load? I don't want to spend a ton of money, but...

I have one redspot in between my thumb and palm, she has one on the pad of her thumb.

We bought a used 125g tank the other day. It was used as a saltwater tank and contained a Lion Fish and a Stars and Stripes puffer. We took the tank home and cleaned it out, inside and out. After we got it done my fiancce and I each have sore spots on our hands, almost like we were stung by...

We've let the water sit with airstones and power heads for days, still salt left. I'm going to try switching brands.

We have a puffer, a Target puffer to be exact. He's about six inches right now and is in perfect health. Due to apartment constraint we're looking to give him to a good home. We don't want to ship him, so local only. We're in Phoenix, the West Valley, we're willing to drop him off as well...

Currently we're using instant ocean salt to mix our saltwater. We can get the sg we're looking for, but we always have extra salt on the bottom of the tub. We've tried using hot water to begin, using cold, using less salt, all to no avail. Does anyone have any good advice on getting all the...

the new starfish was acclimated for about an hour or so before introducing him into the tank. He's been acting fine. I know he's not dead, because he's moving some of his tentacles. He roams around the tank and eats algae. About once every 3 days I feed each star a nice hunk of krill, and they...

First: Tank is a 30 gallon with live sand, water parameters are normal, inhabits 2 chocolate chip star fish, 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, and a 2 cleaner crabs. The fish were quarantined for about a week and a half in a hospital tank before moving to the new tank (Fully cycled). We have had 2...

Our 60 gallon had an ich outbreak this year. I was worried about our clown loaches so I did some research and came up with this plan. I used half the amount of rid ich as directed and slowly raised the temp up to about 85. I doubled the amount of oxygen in the tank and left it that way for...

Yes, all three fish are in the same qt, but they were never together before hand. The clowns have been in qt for a while, just for standard new fish qt.
