I know then benifit of using a QT tank, however, my question is how many fish can be contained in a 10G QT tank? Can I have 4-5 fish in one tank for QT? I am looking at: Sleeper Goby (gold head) 2 ea Purple firefish lawnmower blenny Gold Stripe Maroon (tank bred) These fish will go...

OK help me out. My tank has been set up for about two months and Fallow. I cycled the tank with a raw shrimp from the store. The tank was going great with lots of pod growth Last week my parameters were solid: NH3=0, NO2=0, NO3=5-10ppm, PO=0. Then all of a sudden last night I have a NH3...

I have heard several different opinions and I would like to get the expert advice from AA! Lighting for fuge... should I... lighting cycle opposite of the display tank? or, lighting 24x7? thoughts?

anyone have a reccomendation for what livestock I can/should put in my sump/fuge? I have LR rubble in the first baffle, and a DSB fuge in another. I was thinking about a couple of hermit crabs in the LR baffle and some snails in the fuge. What kind of snails would be best for the...

I know the adage "QT anything wet"; but I had a question on QT inverts I recently moved from CA to UT. I was forced to sell my livestock but I held on to my LR and LS. I placed my LR in totes with 2-3" of SW to keep the rock wet, and I left an inch or so of SW in the tank with the LS. Since...

I had a stupid question... For a tank to be "fallow" does that mean no fish only? What about shrimp, snails, and crabs?

I purchased 25lb of LR from my LFS. It was in her tank for about three weeks, and I have had it QT (bucket filled with SW and PH) for about two weeks. I have done one PWC and the water parameters are minimal. 0 NH3, 0 NO2, and 10-20 NO3. My question is: Is is advisable to do a FW dip of the...

I am looking at a Coralife skimmer 220, for my tank (75g). Does anyone have an opinion? Is this a good skimmer to place in my new sump I am building? Is there a better option for under $250 US?

I am mixing about 30g of sw for a water change; it has been in a tub mixing for 24 hours and there is still salt swirling around. I have heated the water to the same temp as my tank 78, and I have a large ph mixing the water. do I need to worry? The salt was a bit old and caked, but I broke...

I have a couple of questions; possibly dumb ones, but heck why not... I am thinking about re-scaping my tank. Meaning moving the LR around into a different configuration. Can I do that? Can you move your LR around? Should you? I wanted to get more of the LR off of the LS and center it...

This started looking like a bubble anenome, but it has reproduced fairly fast; there are 6-8 of these in my tank. What is it? if it is bad (Asplasia) how do I get rid of it? Thanks,

It is about 2" long and had "hair" on top of it.

My stand sucks. Don’t get me wrong; it looks pretty good, it holds up my 75g SW tank, but it still sucks. The internal dimensions or the storage capacity of the stand is horrible; nothing will fit underneath. The top and the bottom are offset by the sides, and the center braces are equally...

I may have written my own demise. I am having a problem with NO3. Even with PWC weekly. My NO3 levels have been ranging from 20-80 with a spike to 100 once (really freaked me out). Normally I have not been able to keep it under 40 for very long. Other parameters have been fine - 0 - NO2, 0 -...

Does anyone have an opinion on this? I am considering replacing my canister with a Wet/Dry. My LFS tells me this is a better way to control my nitrates, since I have been having a problem keeping them down. See my profile for my tank configs. Thanks
