Hi all, About a month ago I added two Flame Anthias to my 90 gal FOWLR tank. They are in hiding most of the time and sometimes I will not see them for a week straight. When they do come out they seem fine and none of the other tank mates ever bother them. I have never seen them eat and if they...

Take a look at this light. AquaticLife 36" T5 HO 6 Lamp Fixture with Lunar Lights Aquatic Life T5 I also have a 90 corner and this light works very well. I has sliding adjustable legs which makes it easy to fit the shape of the tank. The light is sturdy, solid and well made. It also has...

I have just recently started using an RODI filter. I see the filters have turned brown with what I assume is algae. Is this normal? If not, what do I need to do to stop this? Thanks in advance

My Coral beauty is the only fish in my tank that has not found a friend. She/he just swims quickly around the tank by itself. All the other residents of my aquarium have buddied up. What kind of fish can I add that would buddy up with my Coral Beauty.

I normally wait 24 hours.

I know I will be contradicted on this, but NO. A skimmer is not absolutely necessary for a FOWLR. 1-1.5 lbs of live rock per gallon, 20% water changes every two weeks and a tank that is not overstocked and you will be fine without a skimmer. I know this to be true because although I have had SW...

I repaired a 90 gal aquarium a few years back due to the same reason. I had to empty the aquarium and strip all the old silicone out. I figured as long as I was repairing one section I might as well redo the whole tank. After stripping the old silicone I sanded the seam areas with a fine grit...

How may fish an aquarium can support has little to do with how well they get along or how many hiding places they have.

Here is a link "How Many Fish?" Aquarium Stock Level Calculator to help answer your question.

Welcome, I can tell you are exited about getting back into fishkeeping, but take a deep breath and slow things down a little bit. Why did four of your six neons die? From your post it looks like you skipped the cycling of your tank. Re; "I have an order of plants coming this week and a lot of...

Can't help with a pic of the skimmer set up, but here is a link for the set up and operation of skimmer. I'm sure you already have this though if it's a new skimmer. http://www.danddmarine.com/TERMINATOR2Instr.pdf BTW; Recommended pump for skimmer.... A 300 gph powerhead pump (Maxijet 1200...

From what I can find out, the skimmer is supposed to come with the main pump, but you need to buy a small powerhead to to bring water up from the sump an into the skimmer. TermFAQ http://www.danddmarine.com/Terminator2.pdf I have read reviews on this skimmer and most are the same. After...

I think you said in a previous thread that you have a 60 gal tank. That will not support 3 tangs. More like one maybe. I apologise if I am wrong on your tank size.

I don't have the answer, but this link may help or point you in the right direction. Are your Fish 'scratching' on rocks and decorations? - Aquaria Central

OK, I see. That sump is designed for the skimmer to sit in the center and the skimmer pump will sit in the outside chamber. Aqueon Videos

Are those three chambers completely separate? I would say no. If they are all interconnected then the water will fluctuate in all three chambers/compartments equally. What am I not understanding here?

Good answer, but I guess I am still confused. You want the skimmer to continuously skim a steady supply of 'new' aquarium water. How would you place a skimmer in a sump where it can receive this water and at the same time put it in an area of the sump that has no water fluctuations. I guess I...

I decided to move my 90 corner tank out of the corner. I built two walls on either side of the tank as not to see the angles of the corners on the tank. Then I cut a hole in my wall so I can access the back of the tank through a bedroom closet. Now I can keep the UV light, canister filter and...

I admit that is a new one for me. Why do you say that will not work well?? I am 11 years into running a skimmer this way and do not see a problem. What am I missing.

Take a look at this one. The pump is integrated into the skimmer, making it easier to place in a sump with limited space. overall height is 20.5''. Super Reef Octopus XP 1000SSS CONE Protein Skimmer - AquaCave I have just placed this same model in my sump a few days ago. Seems to be a well...

In easy terms to understand. If you are only replacing water that evaporated from your tank, add dechlorinated fresh water only. If you are replacing water that you removed from the tank for whatever reason, you need to replace that with dechlorinated, well mixed salt water. Salinity for a fish...

Yes it does. The Damsel was about a 3/4 inch and must have wanted to get through the "gate". Strange thing is I have had this damsel for about a year and now it decides to check out the overflow box. My clown was only about 1/2-3/4 inch when it went through. I have already placed a mesh screen...

Do you have an overflow box/sump? Check in there and the sump. I noticed one of my yellowtail Damsels in my overflow box today and when I came back with a small net he/she was gone. I checked the drain to the sump and the sump and it is nowhere to be found. I'm a little baffled on this. A few...

. Beautiful fish. I am not really familiar with the care and feeding of them though. I need to study up on them. I am definitely interested. Thanks!
