I just bought NOVA Extreme light fixture. It came with two options for mounting. The first is mounting legs and the second is sitting light fixture directly on aquarium with sticky tabs holding it in place. Wouldn't the 2nd option make the lights to close to the water? I guess my question is...

My 3yo daughter yelled for me to come see the fish that something was wrong. I went to qt and the foxface's mouth was stuck in the powerhead. I had a sponge covering the intake area but apparently there was a small hole (pencil eraser size) on the bottom of sponge. And that is where the mouth...

I have had sw tank for 2 years now. I haven't purchased any fish since the first 4 I got when I set up the tank. Yesterday I purchased a foxface and scissortail goby. I have them in a 10g qt. The qt consists of a hoh filter and I had that on the main tank x 1 week, a heater, ph, and pvc pipe...

I am trying to figure out if I need to sell my current lighting or just add another fixture to my tank. I want to add coral (start with beginner type corals) but I have 2 65w compact flu and 2 65w acitinic, also lunar lights. What should I?

I have a 6 line wrasse that is aggressive. I purchased a dottyback 6 months ago and within a day he had killed it. So, my question is what kind of fish can I get that he won't pick at or kill? I would like to get a yellow tang and/or coral beauty. Are these okay?

I have had my tank for a year now. I decided to had an anemone. So far it looks good. I would like to add a bta. Is this ok? Also, I would like to add a few corals. What would be compatible with the anemones? My fish consist of 2 clowns, 6line wrasse, and a convict goby, and a cleaner crew.

When I turn the protein skimmer on there are lots of bubbles shooting into the tank. When I turn the protein skimmer off, the bubbles clear up. What do you think is the problem?

What is the red stuff on the rock? It's growing on two rocks and now it is starting to grow on the powerhead sponges.

I purchased engineer goby and a half purple/yellow fish (?) don't know the name. The lfs said they were compatible with our a pair of clowns and 6 line, however, the 6 line wrasse has been nipping at the purple/yellow fish. I am putting the new fish in a 10g tank and make sure he doesn't get...

Here is picture of my clown goby. I don't know if this his natural color or could he have ich? Sometimes his body has faint white on him and sometimes he is totally grey. He is eating fine and doesn't show signs of distress.[/URL][/img]

The past few days some rocks have the green hair algae growing. What causes this? Too much pwc? The lights have been on a set schedule for 6 weeks now. I have 75g and do pwc once a weeek which consists of 15g (20%)

Here is a picture of fish we purchased 3 weeks ago. So far the fish have acclimated well. [/img]

I just noticed this morning the six line wrasse keeps chasing one of my peppermint shrimps. Why? I haven't noticed the peppermint shrimp molting lately. Next question, the tails of the two peppermints look like they have died, they are black. They have been like that for 3-4 weeks now...

We made the plunge and bought 4 fish. 2 true percula clown fish 1 6 line wrasse 1 citron goby I was a bit worried about the wrasse while acclimating because he kept laying on his side and his tail was turning. Right now he looks better but I hardly ever see him. Here are a few questions: 1)...

I haven't purchased any fish yet. But I have fallen in love just watchig the shrimp swim around. I put my hand in there and the skunk come right up to my hand start giving me kisses. The peppermint then come out because I think they are jealous. It is great to watch them watch us. It is...

We are taking the plunge. I do have a few questions. 1) Late at night I see a lot of worms comings out rocks. (brisstleworms?) are they ok to be there? 2) Late at night there are little bugs crawling all over the place and they havd made little tunnels through sand, you can see them bylooking...

I was testing water parameters on my ro/di water and the ph is below 7.0. I used 2 different test kits. I then checked regular tap water and it is 8.2. I also checked filtered from refridgerator and it is the same as the ro/di. How do I get the pH to be higher? Is your pH lower with your ro/di...

Our ro/di is all hooked up with a pump. My question is, how many gallons of water should I dump out before putting it in the aquarium?

These things are so small that I don't think I could get a good pic of. I'll describe. They are as small a pinpoint, white, and all over glass. They look like stars if you look at them up close. What could they be? They are on all sides of glass.

Well my husband hooked up unit last night. He put the unit in basement and then hooked it to a pipeline which went up wall and into our laundry room sink faucet. We go to turn it on and it only drips. So of course he said I told you we should have ordered the pump.(blah, blah, blah) We...

I drove down to The Fish Store today. I was impressed how everything was setup and the cleanliness. I was disappointed that know one came to help me. I had to go to someone to ask questions. But, they seemed kinda of busy. The layout was nice. My daughter chased the dog around. We left...

We had another leak today, just like the one we had when we were out of town. We thought it was the protein skimmer. My husband found the sump (megaflow system) is whelped and has a crack going along the side where the bioballs go. We have called DrfosterSmith and they are sending us a new...
