Is it possible to go from saltwater to brackish? I just lost my last fish and have decided to try brackish water. Must I start from scratch? I have live sand and live rock in the tank now.

I've been putting a Marine Cusine cube, a mysis shrimp cube, some flakes and garlic oil in some tank water and keeping it in the fridge. I feed once a day and this lasts about 3 days. My tank consists of a Lemon Peel Angel, a polka dot cardinal and 4 very, small chromis. They all get along...

I have had my horned blenny for about 2 months now and he has been thriving. We had a bad storm the other night and the electricity went out for a few hours. We hooked up a generator but for some reason, and unknown to us, the filter had quit running. Today my blenny looks dark and has been...

I have a horned blenny and was wondering what to feed him. He's been in my tank for about 2 weeks and seems to be doing okay but I want to be sure he's getting enough to eat. I feed mysis shrimp, marine cuisine and flakes. Is that enough? The cleanup crew eats the rest. I also have about 25...

I have a 29g FOWLR tank with a bunch of inverts and so far 1 horned Blenny. A skimmer is next on my list of must haves but I'm really confused as to which to get without breaking the bank. The Berlin is inexpensive but does it work? I've seen some on Ebay too that are relatively inexpensive...

I have a 29 gallon tank, it's inhabitants now include 5 blue legged crabs, 1 large scarlet crab, 1 peppermint shrimp, and Lennie the horned blenny. Will it be ok to add 3 green or blue chromis? I also would like a dwarf angel of some kind in a few months but I'm wondering if that may be...

Has anyone found an easy way to move sand (without the water) from one tank to another? I want to move some of the LS in my nano to my 29 gallon but since I still have crabs, snails and a shrimp in the nano, I don't want to disturb them too much. I just need enough to seed the dead sand...

I'm in the process of cycling a 29 gallon (frozen shrimp is doing it's job :D) and was thinking of a small school (3) of green chromis and maybe a dwarf angel. How would those get along? This is a FOWLR tank.

I have a 5 gallon Hex aquarium which now is home to a few sw crabs and a shrimp. They will be going into a larger tank in a few weeks and I'm thinking I'd like a betta. What all do I need to keep him happy? What kind of gravel/plants/food etc.? The tank has a filter and a light. Any info...

I've just started cycling my 29 gal but I want to plan ahead. I've moved some LR and LS from my 5 gal and will move more later as I have invertebrates in the 5 gal. 5 blue crabs, 1 Narc snail and 1 turbo snail and a peppermint shrimp. I would like a small school of a colorful fish...maybe 3...

I have had my 5 gal. nano tank running for 10 days. Today I checked the chemistry and everything is at 0 except for an 8.2 PH. Is it time for me to do a partial water change and/or add the clean up crew or are these readings way out of line for the amount of time it's been cycling? I started...

I've just started a Nano tank (5 gal.) and I still need to get a test kit. What do you all recommend? I noticed the LFS uses the dip strip type but the ones I've seen use drops in a test tube. The strips seem so much easier. Thanks.

Hi! I just started a nano saltwater tank and I'll probably need all the help I can get. I had a 55 gallon about 18 years ago but when for some unknown reason all my fish died, I never re-started it. I'm hoping it goes better this time. :) My new tank is a 5 gallon Eclipse hexagon. It's...
