I recently purchased an RI/DO water filter. I'm using a garbage can to keep the RI/DO water in and mixing my salt in. I have a lid on the garbage can but do not have a power head in it to circulate the water. Can someone tell me how long I can keep this water before it goes bad to do a...

Last May I upgraded to a 75gl tank. At the moment I only have a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse and a Dwarf Lion Fish. I added the Lion fish about a month and a half ago. I previously had a 55gl tank and with a TERRIBLE lfs giving me no advice as to why the fish I kept buying would get sick and...

I'm needing some advice. My 55 gallon tank is leaking from the front right bottom corner behind the trim. The tank is leaking about 1 1/2 cups. This just started yesterday. The tank is almost 5 years old and at this time I only have a Lemon Peel Angel and a Lubbock's Fairy Wrasse. Has...

I need help to identify what disease is killing my fish. My tank is a year old and has some live rock as you can see from the picture. My lemon peel angelfish is a year old as well. I've had several fish in the tank in the past year and they all died except for the lemon peel angelfish. I had a...

I have a 55 gallon fish only saltwater tank. I'm thinking about adding coralto the tank. I've read that my Lemon Peel Angel will kill any coral I put into the tank. Has anyone had luck with coral in with a Lemon Peel Angelfish? If so, is there certain corals to stay away from? I'm just in...

I have a Blue Jaw Trigger in a fish only tank. I have had him for several months. I've noticed lately that right under his chin is starting to turn a darker color than the rest of his jaw. It appears that he is building up a callas from eating food off the bottom of the tank. Does anyone...

I have a fish only 55gl tank with about 25 pounds of live rock. The tank at this time has a Blue Jaw Trigger, Lemmon Peel Angel and a Red Legged Hermit Crab. I really like the Blue Mandarin but have heard they are very picky eaters and need about 100 pounds of live rock to survive. But then...

Here are some pics of my Diamond Goby. Last Monday I noticed that his lower lip was all mangled. It might be hard to see in these pics but his lower jaw is still there but it just doesn't have the lip around it. I've been treating the tank with Melafix. The Diamond Goby is eating the Rods...

My Diamond Goby hid all day yesterday and didn't come out to eat. Today he is out and eating the food I am feeding the tank. I noticed that his lower lip is half gone. Looks like it has been rubbed raw. I do have a Redlegged Hermit Crab. The Hermit Crab and the Diamond Goby have lived...

I have a 55 gallon saltwater tank, fish only. I change 10% of the water once a week. When I do the water change I take out all rock & decorations. I will do this for each half of the tank every other week. Do I need to keep this practice up or am I able to take out only water for the water...

I have a blue jaw trigger that I have had since mid January. Three weeks ago he started to hide and eat very little. Now its almost been three eeks that he hasn't ate. He has hidden for two eeks and the past week he has been out ib the open laying ob his side. Today I have noticed that he...

I have a Bluejaw Trigger. I got him end of January. He's been a very personal fish until 2 weeks ago. He was eating (Rod's Food) when I noticed he had a piece of food that he couldn't spit out. The piece looked like a stringy grisly piece. He flashed around the tank going forward and...

I got my Blue Jaw Trigger fish end of January. He's always been a little shy. I have a hollow decoration of two old jugs stuck together. I purchase this mid February for another hiding place for him. Over time I've noticed he rarely swims yo far away from it. Now, the past day and a half he...

Just added the Real Reef Live Rock and Diamond Goby

I purchased a Diamond Goby and added him to the tank about 9 hrs ago. He has made several burrows under a large shell. He has been in the burrow whole time until I started feeding the fish about an hour ago. I have a Lubbocks Fairy Wrasse, Blue Jaw Trigger and a Lemonpeel Angelfish. All the...

I purchased a piece of Mopani Wood 3 days ago. I've had it soaking in a tub and changing the water 2-3 times a day. The tannins are still seeping out. Once the water is clear ater a day of soaking, I want to place it in my 55 gallon fish only saltwater tank. Does anyone have a piece in...

I'm very new to saltwater tanks. Mine has been up and running with fish since November. I have done 2 water changes between now and then. I never added salt to the water during the water changes (obviously I misunderstood how to do water changes). I've been adding 2 1/2 cups of salt to 5 gl...
