Is there types of wrassels that get along with hermit crabs, as odd as it sounds, we like our hermit allot, he adds humor to our tank. but I am also found of wrassels, because they swim allot and adds life and movement.

Once a month, I change 4 small plastic buckets of water out of my 30 gal tank, which changes about 20% to 25% of the tank water. But its such a hassle to remember, and doing this really upsets the fish. Will it hurt the water cycle to have a bucket a week changed? Each bucket it ruffly 3...

If I am using a bio wheel on a emp 280 in a 30 hex, how much live rock is it safe to add? or is it one of those, there is never too much.. I keep adding a 2 pound here 2 pounds there, I must have close to 10 to 15 lbs (added another 2 and half yesterday) I would like all the help I can get...

Actually I put in Cured live rock, I made sure, paid a pretty penny for it too. I was told that Liverock would help with the bio filter in my tank. I did play with the idea of a powerhead, to help move the water about, I did the airstone hoping it would help. I have no qualms of getting a...

I have had much success with fresh water, so I thought I would try salt water, and was doing great. I am very new to salt, so I do not know the tricky names, I am sorry if I come off as ignorant. I have done my best to learn, this forum is the latest endeavor to learn and enjoy my tank, which I...
