I am considering purchasing RO equipment for my home. I am looking for recommendations and lessons learned by others. I will need equipment that makes at about 1 gal per day RO water I have a 55 gal Salt Water Fish Only tank. I am very tired of buying RO water at my LFS. Thx for any...

Today we did a 30% water change in our fish only tank (55 gal). Unfortunately it appears that salt did not fully dissolve, leaving the water cloudy and a white sediment on everything. The fish appear to be OK, but are certainly not behaving normally after about 8 hrs. The Ehiem filter...

We have been having problems introducing new fish into our 50 gallon fish only tank. We have had a clown, blue tang, and scarlet hawf fish for about 6 months. We have tried introducing green chromies and most recently some small damsels. Our three fish ate the new fish. What type of fish do...

We have a fish only 55 gallon tank with dead coral only - no live rock. Currently we have a clown fish, blue tang, scarlet hawk, and 1 green chromi. In the past we have had a coral beauty and lemon peel however they died. One of the fish books said that the dwarf angels like to graze therefore...

We have had our aquarium active for about 10 months. Recently we lost two fish and discovered that our nitrates are at 50. We've been doing water changes frequently to try to lower the numbers. Someone told us that a protein skimmer would help - is that true?

I'm wondering if we are feeding our fish properly. We presently have a percula clown, henacious butterfly, yellow tang, blue tang and just lost a flame angel last week. We presently feed our fish 5 times a week - every other day switch the following flake food: Brine Shrimp Plus The...

We have had our 55 gallon fish tank established since August of 2003. We started with a Flame Angel and some other fish and the Flame died in November. We replaced the Flame Angel and now our current Flame is not acting normal - not eating, not swimming with the other fish. Nothing has...

Went to my LFS yesterday and they had cowfish. I've never seen or heard of them before. Are they easy to keep? I have a yellow tang, flame angel, blue tang and clown in a FO tank. Would it get along?

What type of shrimp should I get for a 55 gallon FO tank with a yellow tang, blue tang, flame angel, and a percula clown. I know, we shouldn't have two tangs in our small tank but we didn't know this until after we bought them - LFS recommended.

Thinking of buying a refractometer. What brands are good - should I spend the extra money for one with a light

Our LFS suggested 1.017 gravity for our fish - supposedly cuts down on parasites, disease, etc. Do we need to raise that if we get a "cleanup crew" of snails, shrimp, crabs?

Please give me some information about snails in a FO tank. What type of care do they take? What types are best for clearing brown algae problems?

I was reading some of the topics and saw that my algae problem could be because I'm overfeeding the fish. I feed them once a day. Is that too much?

How many fish do you suggest for a 55 gallon fish only tank?

IS there any way to get rid of the brown algae? We don't have live rock - just an Eiheim filter and dead corals. This is a fish aquarium only.

We have had our 55 gallon tank going for a couple months. We presently have a Flame Angel, Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, and a Clown Fish. I think that we would like to add 2-3 more fish. What would be some good fish to get that are hardy, easy to care for, not aggressive toward the fish we already...

We have a fish only 55 gallon aquarium. We use an Eiheim filter with a UV system. We have rock and dead coral which get brown algae. We've had our fish tank set up for about 3 months. We went through the cycle with damsels, got four fish and when we cleaned the coral using Clorox we must not...
