Yes i do plan on having corals. Not sure what kind exactly but as much variety as possible. I spoke to my lfs today and they advised me to have 2 smaller powerheads to create a better flow. What gph shoild i be looking at? Thanks

I have recently upgraded my aquarium. I now have a 36 gal tank and i am looking at buying powerheads im doing research but getting confused. How many power heads should i have? How powerful should they be? Thanks

I have added stress coat. Will this help at all until i get chance to go my lfs? What brand did you use?

Hi guys. My royal dotty back has fin rot. It was no longer eating and isnt moving much. He was fine yesterday. I have already done some reasesrch into treating the fish and it all involves quarentine I dont have a quarenteen tank. Is there aany treatment i can use without quarenteening the...

Just for the record. And before anyone pees in there tank., there is no ammonia in urine. Also just be patient it will all eventually happen. It seems to take forever but finally it will be happen and both you and your fish will be glad that u waited. Just keep testing your water and...

Hi. I have a tank slightly smaller than yours but from research i have done you will probably find that 2 clownfish is already too much for your tank. You have to remember that saltwater fish are fro the ocean so are used having large open spaces. Personally i would leave it with the 2 clowns...

The situation..... My 10gal has finnally cycled. My lfs has got tiny blue regal tangs. I know that generally these fish would be too big to live in my tank but i am going to get a much larger tank set up by aprox august next year. The question.... How long would it take for the tang to...

Didnt know anything like this existed. Thank you. If it is making the ammonia less toxic will the bb still know it should be removing it? Should or will this extend the term of the cycle?

Never thought to do that but i will be doing. I have tested my tap water just out of curiousity. I think i just need more patience than anything else

Off tho by more live rock over the weekend. Thanks guys!

Ph is 8.0-8.2 depends what time i test it. Ammonia has been at 0.50 for last few days. Nitrite always has been 0. Nitrates been at 20ppm for about a week

What are they in basic terms?

It has been on and running for about 4 weeks but ammonia has only been visable for about 2 weeks

I used pellets to get ammonia initially. Then i was told to add a cuc. One of the snails died and i just left that in there to build up the ammonia. Other than that i have just added pellets every few days. I must have some nitrites because i i have nitrates at 20ppm but they have never been...

I test it daily at the moment, i have had my lfs check it for me a few times incase im doing something wrong but they have had exact same results. Is there something i could be missing i thought nitrites was just water and drops. Quick shake. It is always blue as blue can be.. the nitrate i go...
