You guys never seem to answer the real question. Same solution every time: You are overcrowding, bla bla bla... The tank is not going downhill. Its been up for more than 3 years with the same fish running on a wet/dry, uv, and a protein skimmer. Like I have said in another thread, I have seen...

I have a 55gal with 3 medium sized fish and 1 little munchkin niger. How long should I wait to get a new fish?

Ive had the fish for about a week so even if i give it back to the LFS with no money back, he will probally just let it die so its better off with me.

thanks steve.

Yes, its a new rock and my PH is too high (probally because of my low salt level?) Should I use those calcium or whatever addatives for it?

Ive seen a guy put 35 fish in a 55gal marine aquarium and he's had it running for quite awhile. But then again, he is a marine biologist and owns a LFS with unlimited supplies. It will probally be my last fish anyway. So does anyone have any percautions about the lunare/moon wrasse?

Boxfish, correct me if im wrong, are most active at night and sleep in the morning. For some odd reason my huma picasso and my blue tang always sleep around 11:00 even if the light isn't off. Maybe its because their old? :wink:

anyone have any warnings about buying this fish? Current fish i have in a 55 gallon: Huma Picasso Trigger (3"), Lemon Peal Angel (3"), Blue Tang (3.5"), Niger Trigger (2")

Sorry about being so repetitive :roll: . So what else does it need besides live rock? live sand?

Thanks for all the help guys. I power hosed the crappy RIO and it worked.

Airstone, Natural Lighting from window, 5 gallon bucket, 1lb of live rock (soon), heater, good enough?

Well, It does say on the box that it is safe for biological filter beds. So correct me if im wrong but isnt live rock a biological filter? fishfreek: i wanted to put it in the quarantine tank with the fish because this fish needs the live rock to live (green madarine goby) although if there...

Whats the word on Quiet One Pumps, better than Rio I hope?

*If you are not familiar with Amplicillex it is a wide spectrum Anti-Fungal/Anti-Bacterial Capsules that help aide fin rot. It said in the directions that if used as directed it is safe for biological filter beds. Does that mean its safe for live rock? Ingredients: 250mg capsules of water...

I have an 8 pound (got ripped off for 50 bucks) LR, but im not sure i should put it in the quarantine bucket since i put Ampicillex for his fin and tail rot. Although it said in the back of the box that it will not affect biological filter beds. So is it safe to put the LR in there?

I have the same problem with my Green Madarin Goby except it wont eat at all. And, like I mentioned in another thread, the other fish think its food. I also read that gobies need a lot of live rock to live (they eat off it).

It is a RIO 3100. Its been cooling down in the water for awhile, so I guess it burned :oops: . Never heard of priming, tell me more...give me hope :cry: . Thanks. Also, is there suppose to be water in the tubing that goes from the pump back to the tank?

Current fish in tank: Lemon Peel Angel, Huma Picasso, Blue Tang, Niger, 2 Yellow-Tail Blue Damsels. I just bought a green mandarin and all my fish pick at its fins and body like its seaweed :x :evil: . I put the madarin in my quarantine pale/bucket with no circulation (think thats gonna be...

:oops: I was doing a water change and forgot to turn off the wet dry :oops: . When I looked at the head (the thing that spits out the water), it was spitting water like h+ll broke loose! I filled it back up to where the glass ends and turned the switch back on and nothing. The protein...
