Ok. Here are the perameters. temp 79 degrees Sal 1.023 ph 8.1 nitrates 0 nitrites 0 Calcium and Alkalinity added daily. Iodine added weekly. I will see if I can do a picture soon.

I have a 55 gal tank with 4x48" 65 watt pc lighting. My water perameters are very good and I have a very stable and mature tank. However, I recently added a nice frogspawn piece. Unfortunately, It is slowly dying. It was very open and looked happy the first couple of days. After that it...

thanks again!

thanks... that answers my question!

I keep reading more and more about people who breed fish, propagate corals, etc... My question is, when you have successfully bred these fish what do you do with the offspring? Sell them to the lfs? Obviously, if you breed often and successfully, you would not have room for all the fish. Am I...

I have a 55 gal. I was wondering, if I were to move, what is the best way to transport the tank. Is is doable? expensive? Gimme the dirt! THANKS!

thanks a lot!!! this will help.

Birthday came and went. She has the tank and it's cycling with 10 lbs of live rock. It's looking very nice, very clear. She also has interest in a dwarf angel. Maybe a coral beauty. Is that going to be a problem for the panda? I dunno what else she is interested in putting in there. These are...

I dunno if this is correct. I am relatively new to this hobby and I feel silly giving advice, but maybe this will help. I had surface scum on my tank and I just got a second siphon "U" tube (I don't know the name for it, hope everyone understands me) for my overflow. This cleared the problem up...

I bought a 12 gallon aquapod for my wife for her b-day. She wants to do a reef tank. She is interested in the panda goby for her first fish. She is also interested in sexy shrimp. Any thoughts on these? Good for that tank size? Also, Do we need to wait until the tank is cycled to introduce the...

My blue tang has been fine for months. Yesterday I noticed a few little white spots on him. Is this a serious thing? What can I do? I wanna save my fish. HELP PLEASE!!! TIA

Thanks! I bought it for her and she is really excited! I am too!

I am getting a nano for my wife for her birthday. I was thinking about the aquapod. either a 12 gal or a 24 gal. Any thoughts on this product? also It would be going on her desk at work. Would it be a problem if they turn the a/c off at night? It can get up to about 84 degrees when it's off.

ok, the idiot new guy is invading this chain! I clean my skimmer out by scrubbing the neck and holding tank every week or two. Is there more to cleaning it? What about cleaning your pump? I didn't know I was supposed to do this! I feel foolish, but it's not the first time I have made mistakes...

I agree... with kurt_nelson. I have a pair of true percs and I got an anemone for them that was supposed to be one that they would go for. They are totally not interested. However they have a nook in the live rock where they are doing the same thing your clown is doing. As far as frogspawn...

Thank you so much for your advice. I will use it wisely. I love this site!!!!

What is purigen and phosban? And I still need an answer to my post above.... sorry to be pushy, I just need to know... hehe.

No I have not done a phosphate test. Maybe I am overfeeding... I usually give a pinch of flake food and a half a cube of frozen mysid (mysid is mostly for my anemone) every day. I also give a bit of algae on a clip (for my blue tang) every other day. If this is too much feeding, what should I do...

Thanks!!!! This helps!

Mine stays right around 80 to 81 degrees. I know this is acceptable. What are your thoughts on the best temp and why?

I have green algae that grows on the hermits and snails.... I have very good water parameters: SG 1.023 ph 8.2 ammonia 0 nitrate 0 I have also had red slime algae in the past that I handled with red slime remover. It occasionally pops up in small amounts and I treat it again and it goes...

I have a 48" 65 watt 4 lamp dual satellite system. Hope that helps.

I have a 55 gal and I am doing a reef tank. Relatively new to the hobby and I want to do more corals soon. Right now all I have are a few mushrooms. I was thinking about a frogspawn... Is this a good one for a beginner? Are there other soft corals or LPS that you could suggest as nice confidence...

Thanks, I think I will stick to my original plan of investing in one of these nanos!

My lfs guy tells me he had one that was a 6 gal, and it was more of a pain than anything else. Convince me otherwise, please! I would love to start one.
