I got a small bubble tip yesterday and he looked great, foot looks good and nice bubbles on the tips. He attached himself to a rock closer to the bottom, everything looked fine. I got up and turned on the lights and he looks like a little boogie. The light has been on for hour and a half and he...

I have a problem with my phosphates being too high(1.0). I hade a yellowhead sleeper goby that died from popeye. He was being treated and did really well. He lost the eye and was still eating and swimming around. Then a few days later he disappeared, I think the crabs got him. I did a few water...

I am Up grading from a 55 gallon FOWLR (I think most of the live rock is dead) to a 220 gallon, My 55 is stock with 7 small fish and only run by a wet/dry and a whisper filter. It has been set up for about 2 1/2 years. This time I will have much better lighting and a nice tank with built in...

I have 2 porcupine puffers for sale near Boston, Ma. They are very healthy, one is about 3 inches other is a little smaller. They are growing and I don't have the tank size or filter they need. They are one of the coolest fish I have ever owned and I hate to see them go but I think its for the...

Last night I noticed the little nemo wasn't in the tank and his dad was swimming alone. He is no where to be found. Is it possible that 2 small porcupine puffers could have compleatley eaten him in a few hours? Where else could he have gone? ( besides back to the ocean!) I'm really sad he was...

I wrote before about the puffers. I just added another one to the tank and the first puffer is biting the new one. Should I let them do they're thing or bring the new one back, will he kill the new one, he is a little smaller?? Help fast please!!!!!!

I have had a full grown bluehead wrasse for about 6 months, his name is torpido. He used to swim around like crazy and only stop at night. At feeding time he was the first one there. Now all he does is sit under a piece of rock like he's dead. He comes out once and awhile and bumps around the...

I got a porcupine puffer about three weeks ago and all he does is swim next to the heater. He comes out to eat and then goes right back to his spot. Once I saw him in the live rock after he ate but maybe he was to heavy to swim back up to the top. He was in with three other puffers swimming all...

I just found my large snowflake eel on the floor. He was about 6ft away from the tank! what could have happened to him? He was about 2 years old. I think he was happy in his home. Is this common? I found him at 7:30am it's too early for this. It took me a few to realize what it was. RIP little...

I just tried to hook up a new protein skimmer and its not doing anything. My tank is a 55 gal, the skimmer is Americal rated for a 90 gal. I have it hanging on the back of my tank and hooked up to a power head in the tank that should be pushing 270gph. The air pump is a profile 1000. I'm very...

I've had my tank set up for almost a year. My fish are doing very well, I haven't had any deaths till yesterday. They were new fish and I don't think they were right for our tank. Anyway, we have lots of green algae and that nasty red algae/bacteria everywere. Our phosphates are kinda high. We...

I have these little things all over the glass in my tank, I think they are hydroid jellyfish(from what I've read). They look like little snowflakes. They're white with little a dot in the middle and little arms all around the dot. There are about 50 of them right now. I didn't even notice them...

This is kinda a dumb question and I know the answer is most likely no, but I live in New england and I'm at the beach alot, would it be bad to put things like snails, hermit crabs, starfish or urchins in my tank after being qt for a while?

I've been treating my fish only tank with coppersafe but its been awhile and everyone looks great, How do I get the copper out? I've done two 20% water changes and put new carbon in one of the filters and it still tests like I never did anything? Now what?? I want to put some snails in soon but...

Where does a figure 8 puffer belong?? I have heard so my things, freshwater, brackish, saltwater. I rescued 2 from a dumpy little petstore that had them in saltwater. I tried one in freshwater once and he didn't make it....I read so many different things I don't know what to do, they seem to be...

I have a snowflake eel, he's about 5inches long but I can't seem to find him in a 55G tank. I have about 20lbs of live rock, he's not in his usual piece of rock, I picked it up and looked inside, looked all over even on the carpet behind the tank. I've only had him about 2weeks. Nothing is even...
