my testing results are all in the normal range. I have been on top of them since this whole ordeal began. The lights are about a year old I guess. I put new filters on the power heads about every other week. I also change the filter on the biowheel about one time a month. What should I do with...

I have tried Joe's juice, as well as some other brands of Aptasia killers, tried shrimp, hot water, etc etc etc. They are getting the best of me. I have been controlling my lights and run them for shorter periods now. I have a set of three, lunar, itinic, and daytime lights. I feed every other...

I am so frustrated I am ready to give in the towel. Maybe someone can help me??? Let me give a little background info. I upgraded my tank almost a year ago from a 30 to a 60 gallon aquarium. Things were great. I got a new tank and some more live rock from someone off craiglist, and stupidly...

Do I need to inject each one, that could take forever? Or can I douse the whole tank?

I know some of you were really helpful about a post I wrote about something like this earlier. But I needed a bit more info on what to do here. I am getting my new tank and rock etc tomorrow, and want to be prepared. I am trying to upgrade my tank right now, and I found someone on craigslist...

I was treating him with copper. I don't know if he had ick or not, but I try and quar all my new fish and treat just to be on the safe side.

thanks THanks for the advice guys. I will keep my fingers crossed about the main tank. Billy, I grew up in Buffalo! Nice to meet a fellow east coaster!

should i have done this? Another reefer last night on another site told me to put him into my main tank or else he would probably die. I acclimated him and released him in (and he does look happier) but should I have done this? Is this going to cause major problems in my main tank? I am in the...
