The only problem with a small setup is that it is very easy for the water to get out of hand and the maintenance is a ton more. If you are limited on space I would get a nano setup...they are designed specifically for a smaller setup...

That would be more than likely be them trying to establish dominance...My clown does it to everyone in the tank...It's quite funny...

I started a 10 gallon bare bottom quarantine tank and I filled it with water from my pwc's. All the levels were ph 8.2, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates were all 0. I picked up some fish from my lfs and put them in quarantine (blonde naso and a humu trigger). They were doing just fine but when...

I did a partial water change this morning and I unplugged my protein skimmer. When I plugged the skimmer back in it would not make small bubbles...This has happened before and I messed with the air valve and got it working but this time it didn't work...any suggestions?

I setup a 10 gallon tank for a quarantine...My LFS gives me awesome deals on fish but he has no saltwater tanks so I have to meet the delivery trunk and take them back to my house. I was going to go with no substrate and no live rock and im just using the water from my partial water changes of...

Yes I mix my own water...I like to keep my tank around 1.022. I have been messing with the salt for quite a while and I'm able to keep my water pretty accurate. I just use tap water and use an additive to make the tap water safe... After I change some of the water out I let the tank cycle the...

No I don't check them...I didn't know that I had to...Other than buying the chemicals to bring them up or down what else do I need to do to get the water clear? Do I need to change more of the water?

None at all...Very strange...It is a bit better now but not all the way...
