I guess I will try another site.

Hi, I currently have a 75 gal. SW tank with a wet dry filter and and protein skimmer. I originally had a zebra lion, a yellow tang, a clown, and a blue devil in there. Unfortunately, I let the PH get a little low and lost the lion and the tang. I had had the tang for over 3 years. Anyhow, I...

It's been a while, but I have sold my SA Cichlid tank and decided to go back to SW. I have (3) choices that I am interested in and need advice. I understand there are a lot of opinions out there and will be willing to hear the positive and negative. First, I have just sold my 55 SA Cichlid...

Thanks a lot.

OK thanks. So far I have 0 Nitrates every time I check it. I also have more than twice the filtration necessary. I will keep an eye on things. Talk to ya'll soon.

Thanks for your comments. I think that whether it be water quality (PH for example) or parasites/bacteria, the black moore reacted. I have heard that some fish react in defense by secreting the white film, and this one was a fatal reaction. As for the neon, evidently he is used to the...

Hi, I am a pretty experienced aquarist - I had a successful salt water aquarium for 3 years and have about 10 years experience with fresh water. I read a lot of AA, but for what happened yesterday, I am baffled. I have a 2.5 gallon tank in my office. It has a filter, biowheel, bubbler, and has...

Regarding the copper treatment, I see now that that would have been better, but I was reading a lot of stuff and trying to come up with the best answer for all my fish. There are a number of sites that say: Puffers respond well to almost every available medication, though caution should be...
