    Anthias not eating ??

    Hi all, About a month ago I added two Flame Anthias to my 90 gal FOWLR tank. They are in hiding most of the time and sometimes I will not see them for a week straight. When they do come out they seem fine and none of the other tank mates ever bother them. I have never seen them eat and if they...

    Friend for Coral Beauty

    My Coral beauty is the only fish in my tank that has not found a friend. She/he just swims quickly around the tank by itself. All the other residents of my aquarium have buddied up. What kind of fish can I add that would buddy up with my Coral Beauty.

    importance of protein skimmer?

    I know I will be contradicted on this, but NO. A skimmer is not absolutely necessary for a FOWLR. 1-1.5 lbs of live rock per gallon, 20% water changes every two weeks and a tank that is not overstocked and you will be fine without a skimmer. I know this to be true because although I have had SW...

    How to fix a leak?

    I repaired a 90 gal aquarium a few years back due to the same reason. I had to empty the aquarium and strip all the old silicone out. I figured as long as I was repairing one section I might as well redo the whole tank. After stripping the old silicone I sanded the seam areas with a fine grit...

    Look out Fishes, here I come.

    Welcome, I can tell you are exited about getting back into fishkeeping, but take a deep breath and slow things down a little bit. Why did four of your six neons die? From your post it looks like you skipped the cycling of your tank. Re; "I have an order of plants coming this week and a lot of...

    Protein skimmer

    How to stop scopas tang from attacking yellow tang

    I think you said in a previous thread that you have a 60 gal tank. That will not support 3 tangs. More like one maybe. I apologise if I am wrong on your tank size.

    Which new skimmer for my tank?

    OK, I see. That sump is designed for the skimmer to sit in the center and the skimmer pump will sit in the outside chamber. Aqueon Videos
