Andy, Well look at that, you found me before I could find you! Thanks a lot for the detailed response. I'm going to give your effort and attention all the respect it deserves by reading up on what you suggested before I come back at you with questions. We also have the suspicion that the...

Hey Greg, Thank you for answering, and I apologize for the delayed response. I will reach out to Andy and try to get his feedback on the issue. We are indeed adding rotifers (10/mL) and algae (1mL green water solution per 100L) daily. We pump water in/out of the tank at about 250mL/min for 2...

Hello Wise People, Our University lab has taken upon itself to attempt to rear the bicolor damselfish, Stegastes partitus, and we're seeking advice on getting the larvae to survive. After giving our wild-caught brood stock (we have 2 adult females, 2 adult males, and 5 juveniles in a large...

Did you have any thoughts about the fish I suggested? I'm a freshwater novice so I'm curious if I'm overstocking or if these fish have personality Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The tank does not have a lid... Only an led panel that fits rests between one lip of the tank and the filter mouth (since the led panel is not as long as the tank). But that's not keeping any fish inside :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

There's actually not much bottom space. The bottom of the tank has a built in back display with dirt and some placed for plants. It slants 45 degrees-ish in the lower back to the bottom. Also, it's generally a tall tank not a wide one. One of the designs with the convex front glass Sent from...

Crushed coral was mostly just out of convenience. I'm a marine biologist, and I have several hundred pounds of crushed coral in my seawater lab. We use it for the tanks where we breed gobies and damselfish. I have soft water at my house so I thought it would be a nice buffer... But I wasn't...

Hey guys, I'm back into the freshwater game after a decade break. I'm hoping you all will be open to sharing some wisdom! I recently set up and am cycling an 18 gallon tank (only holds 13g of water... Check my profile for details). However, I used a crushed coral substrate and the pH is now...

Hey guys, Getting back into the freshwater game after a decade. I always had tanks as a kid, and I'd like to again now that my daughter is interested! I keep and breed saltwater fish (gobies, damselfish, etc.) as well as rotifer cultures and artemia as part of my job as a marine biologist on...
