i woke up this morning and found a whole bunch of little bugs on the wall of my aquarium and in or on the rocks thjey are not very big but i wanna identify them i dont have any pictures and

I have a yellow tail damsel. it was the first fish i got and with its attitude it will likely be the last. it is really aggressive to anything I put in the tank. the clownfish-murdered a purple firefish-murdered.. total loss 50$. I really like the damsel and it has been through a lot! but i want...

Yeah I finally go through to eshopps tech support. A lady named sandy walked me through the seasoning process. Lol I have the water level adjusted to where it isn't just spewing out but the skimmer is mostly out of the water. She was actually very helpful. We will see how it goes. Thanks for...

This eshopps is crap I can't get it set! The said I need to let it season but it is bubbling like crazy and oxygenating the hell out of my water. When I put the cup on top it fills up with water and the foam pushes the top off. I really just don't have any clue about how to set it or anything

I have 50 lbs live rock and 40 lbs live substrate at this point I only have one fish a yellowtail damsel but I do want more and I plan on getting more live rock as well before I start adding fish. The ultimate goal is a reef aquarium

60g with a sump

Is a protein skimmer really necessary? I cant get my eshopps in sump set up correctly and i am ready to just say screw it!! and at what point is it absolutely necessary?

@Mebbid- yeah they were saying that if i used peppermint shrimp then i would have to starve the tank in order to get them to eat the aiptasia. did you have any problems with any of the peppermint shrimp not eating the stuff? and are they reef safe because that is the direction i would like to...

somebody at the LFS said that i would have to starve the tank or something. how many do you need?

and can live rock be "live" without coralline algea on it?

Does anyone have a protein skimmer that they are looking to get rid of? I need an in sump, Rated for 60gallons

Is the acidity in the lemon juice not bad for the pH?

any idea on how long that takes?

I have another question regarding protein skimmers. I have a new skimmer the make is eshopps and every time I turn it on It blasts bubbles. I have the valve wide open but it doesn't slow it down at all! The guy at my LFS said I need to let it season. Have you ever heard about that?

I have a 60 g cube tank and I am interested in putting a copperband butterfly in there
