I have been using dual actinics for a while. I ordered 460s, will they bring out more colors? My buddy told me to get 420s, but I figured I'd try em once. Any pros/cons considering actinic spectrums?

Anyone know where to find live copepods?

what do you guys use for stocking? I work at petco and they told me one inch per two gallons. I thought it was three inches per gallon. Any ideas, I just forgot because I have had an established tank for a while and haven'r had to use this info in a while.

After filtering my tap water, my RO water has a very low PH. The ph in my tank has lowered too. I have been using kent marine part A and B tech buffer. Think this water has been doing it? I also wanted to see what you think of my fish list. In my 55 gal, I have a 2 inch PBT, 3 green chromis...

My ph has lowered since I started using RO/DI water and a phosphate reactor. The alkalinity doesn't look too low though. Should I get some buffer to raise it. All my fish look very healthy, and so do the corals. I just added a sixline, yellow watchman, and lawnmower blenny and they are all...

I think im gonna get a 75 gal, I was thinking about spending the extra money on one with the overflow built-in instead of a cpr overflow I would hang on the back. Would this be a better set-up? Any ideas would help, Thanks and happy holidays to everyone!

I have a 55 currently about 5yrs old. I think i'm going to get a 75 and I want to use a 20 gal for a sump. Does anyone have any ideas what I would need and what kind of pumps to use, Thanks!

I have been having a green hair algae problem, I cleaned it up but then started slacking on water changes. I went to That Fish Place yesterday, got new PC bulbs (I didn't change them since last May), and Rowaphos. I put the Rowaphos in the supplied media bag and hooked up my emperor 400 and...

I have a 55gal about 4.5 yrs old. I have 4x65 watt PC, LR, aqua-c remora skimmer. I only have a frogspawn, rock anemone, and a small colony of zoos. I have a black occelaris, neon goby, spotted mandarin, and a PB tang. I am interested in upsizing because my tang is growing and I would like...

I got my PBT last friday, is there a time frame when ich is most prevalent. I only have a clown and mandarin, so it's not overstocked. This PBT eats like crazy, he was picky about flakes, but now loves em. I have Omega One marine flakes with garlic. Does this brand have good nutritional...

I have two maxi jets 1200 in a 55gal. I want to get one of those rotating things to put on the powerhead and get a koralia water pump. I was wondering what flow rate to get, any ideas?

My green hair algae problem is getting under control, Cut the lighting schedule. I got a powder blue tang from liveaquaria and it is one of the most healthy I have seen. I know its only the first day, but it loves brine shrimp and I floated small pieces of nori but it was picky about which...

I had an insane green hair algae problem in a 55. I changed more than half the water and took each rock out and srcubbed it in a bucket. Some of the rocks look good, and about after a week some of the green hair was coming back on certain rocks. My tank was like a swamp, It took me a long...

My friend told me that a molly would clean up green hair algae. I also heard a lettuce nudibranch would clean it up as well, any ideas?

I'm thinking about getting a powder blue tang. I bought one about three years ago and it only lived little more than a week. I figured I would try from a different distributor, such as liveaquaria. They have had the same fish for a couple of weeks now. My buddy says it has a lot to do with...

Does anyone know of the easiest way to get rid of green hair algae. My tank has a lot of it. I slacked on water changes big time, it also looks like some form of caulpera growing too. I appreciate any suggestions!

I was about to feed my fish when I noticed the black saddleback clown missing. I found him wedged between the heater and the glass in the corner of my tank. He must have got himself stuck there vertically and died. Poor guy, he had been in there for two years or more. He was one of my...

My newest fish, yellow tang, has been nipping at my corals. I leave nori in there and he'll eat it but he still picks on the corals. This is why I got rid of my whitecheek tang. I guess i'll take him to an LFS. I think I might try a naso tang!

My whitecheek tang has been in my tank for at least four months. He has just started to nip at my toadstools, and today I caught him shredding my starburst polyps. I always leave nori in there, but he stil nips at these corals. Any ideas, I think I might just bring him to a LFS!

I have read through some things, but I can't find out what is on his eye. It is a little cloudy at the top but not popping out. I think it almost looks like a scratch on the lens. My cleaner shrimp cleans him all the time, so I don't think it's a parasite. He also swims fast odd shaped laps...

I got a whitecheek tang in the mail a week ago from wednesday. He didn't eat nori at first but now he does. I was wondering if it was bad that he doesn't eat the meaty foods I feed my other fish. He looks healthy and grazes on my live rock too along with the nori?

It's the time of year when my tank get's hot. I top off with almost one gallon a day, I have a big fan on in the room. No big deal though. I ordered from live aquaria a whitecheek tang, cleaner shrimp, and an anemone shrimp, plus a red scarlet crab. I am annoyed that they shipped everything...

My blonde naso was eaten last night by a giant cup mushroom. I was so mad, I just got the tang on saturday. I also have a question, one of my ricordeas looks like its dying, like stringing out on the side, any ideas? I thought it might be a lighting issue, my new pc bulbs are in the mail. I...

I just bought a beautiful blonde naso tang on saturday. Last night, it was captured and eaten by my giant cup mushroom. I have already lost a few skunk cleaner shrimps, a yellow tang, a green chromis, and a neon goby to this mushroom. I plan on getting rid of him before I get another tang!

Any ideas how to get rid of aiptasia other than peppermint shrimp. I will still get some p. shrimps, but they are not a guarantee!
