Do any of the products claiming to contain Nitrofying bacteria actually work? Bio-Spira, Biolabs Nitromax, Seachem Stability, Marineland safestart.

I have a theoretical question. From what I've read, Fish produce Ammonia through respiration and via detrius. The point of cycling a Tank is to build up adequate levels of Bacteria to 1. Breakdown Ammonia to Nitrite and 2. To breakdown Nitrite to Nitrate (And sometimes 3. to Breakdown Nitrate...

Hello. FOWLR I would like to eventually turn into a Reef Tank w Anemones (I some say to start out as a Reef tank others say wait until the tanks established, everyone seems to think Anemones aren't for beginners etc..). In the event I gain the experience neccesary and the tank is in proper...

What does Reef Safe: Cautious mean? I have a Lionfish and hope to one day convert my FOWLR into a Reef Tank. Is it safe? What's the caution. He seems to like meat, not vegatable matter and although carnivorous is not really aggressive. What do you think? What are some easier starter corals for...

OK, loved Michael Paletta's The New Marine Aquarium, but his section on lighting is brief. Have a FOWLR tank that I hope to eventually turn into a Reef Tank (I know, some people feel I should make this decision upfront, others seem to rec waiting for my tank to be established). Can someone...

Bought a Yellow tang about 1 week ago. Was doing fine. Had seen him in the aquarium shop a couple of times. Was there for about a month. Woke up this evening (Work nights) and he was dead. I had gone to an Aquarium store yesterday and the owner told me my FOWLR should be treated like a Reef and...

Went to a new Aquarium store today to try and pick up additional members of my clean up crew. Discussed my tank, it's current state and future plans. Like most of the shops I've been to, I met Hubris, Arrogance and condesention. Should I treat a FOWLR like a Reef tank? I have a 90 gallon tank w...

Is there a way best suited to arrange Powerheads for a FOWLR Tank? Have a sump w filter under the tank that recieves water at the top of the tank and disperses it through "jets" at the top of the tank. Bought a Powerhead and hung it on the wall at the top of the tank recieving water inferiorly...

I just finished cycling my tank (90 Gallon, fish only). Put my first fish in (A 5 inch Maroon Clownfish) but can't get her to eat. The first day she was swimming around the walls of the tank. Since then she's just hides amongst the LR. I've tried frozen Mysis, and Brine shrimp. Any other...
