Our 55 gal. FO tank is 1 1/2 yrs. old. We have the wet/dry filter - nitrate is 40, nitrite 0, Ammonia 0, PH is 8.2, temp 79, Phosphate is off the chart! Over the last few months we had unexplained fish death with new fish. LFS said this is common, as water conditions degrade, old fish are...

Our tank has been up and running for about one year, everything is going great! Although, the last couple of weeks the water in the tank seems to be getting higher and water in the sump and wet/dry filter too low (55 gal.). One day I noticed the water low in the wet/dry, added half gallon or...

Questions! I am considering getting a chiller for my 55 gallon all fish tank for the summer. Last summer temp control was a problem and I will be away for a week with a friend feeding fish. Is there one of these that is not horribly expensive and goes into the tank? I don't mind spending a...

Have had my 55 gal. for 9 or 10 months, all water is great, temp fine. I bought a couple of little condy anemones, the guy told me they would be ok with my regular light. We were going along just fine and the lunar wrasse (a constant source of aggression in the tank) started eating the pink...

Just brought home three condy anemones (the ones with the little pink tips) attached to a rock. Did everything as instructed, all levels are fine. Anemone 1 is shriveled up and pulled into the foot part with only a few time tentacles out the top. The orange base part seems to be getting...

I keep reading about feeding the tangs nori. I bought some (green & brown!) and it just melted within an hour. Romaine seems to work much better but is it not as healthy? Is there some brand of nori that lasts longer and doesn't just break down in the tank in a short period of time? The...

Some other fish is picking on my tomatoe clown. We previously had a murder in our tank. The fish store gave me a little box with mesh, a breeding thing, I believe, to put the fish in that was being harassed. Couldn't catch the other fish and he succumbed to his wounds. Vowed I wouldn't let...

I am ready to do a partial water change. The pH has dropped a bit and I know it is time. (55 gallon tank). I will have to change a good chunk of the water since this is the first time and I have waited probably longer than I should have. Will I need to turn off the filter? If I take out...

We got a chocolate chip starfish, doing fine so far. Guy at the fish store said he was a scavenger, would eat leftover food and stuff (stuff, what stuff?). Do we need to feed him? If so, what? And more importantly, how? Thanks!

I need to catch this minnow like fish! I believe he is a royal gramma or gamma! (half fuschia half yellow) He is getting beat up by another fish and he is going to be isolated for a while but I can't catch him. We stand at the tank for hours with the net while he darts in and out of rocks...

A question for someone! We bought this foxface fish today, got him in the tank, fed him, everything was OK. The light went out and 10 minutes later he was flat up against the rock, color was faded out and splotchy, fins were all spikey. I thought he was dead! I thought, "how could he die in...

Maybe someone can give me some advice! We set up our 55 gal. tank with 46lb. of live rock - followed the directions of the fish dealer perfectly. Waited about 6 weeks, tested the water, recorded the test results, visited the fish dealer every Sat. with my little written results, etc. Finally...
