I know that sounds weird as they are usually the bullies but she's new and I have a flame hawkfish that is being a real douche to her. She's out right now but every time he sees her he chases her and I see a lot more fin missing than I would like. It's a 90g tank and there are plenty of hiding...

So my sea urchin is spewing white stuff from the top near it's butt.... is this spawning?? We've had him for around 5 years and have never seen this before.

So I just realized that one of my power heads ( which is my under rock power head) stopped working. It's back in working mode now, was just stuck, but. Ow it's pumped up a lot of detritus that was apparently not getting flowed out while the power head was down. Any easy way to get this off my...

So we have this new growth in our tank and it is beautiful I would let it grown everywhere if I new what it was and if it's good or bad. So far it's only in one little spot of our tank attached to a rock near the surface. It looks kinda like moss. It's bushy and doesn't seem to be spreading just...

So we just bought 2 coral banded shrimp as part of our reef cleaner package from LiveAquaria, which was very quick and supurbly shipped may I add, and I was wondering if its normal for the shrimp to nip or to clean fish. They seem to go after our starry blenny, as they both like to hang out in...

So now that we set up the 90gSW I am ready to move on to my planted tank. I know nothing. I want to know everything. Mfdrookie has told me a lot and so has his build thread but can anyone suggest other threads or articals that can get me up to speed with the lingo and how to's and basiclly...

So we have been in the process of building our 100g tank for awhile now. We set it up back in march and then viciously got kicked out of the place we were staying, but now its back up and running and staying that way. Its been up for about 7 weeks now and doing perfect. I thought I would...

Should I use my protein skimmer while I'm cycling my tank or should I wait till the cycle is complete? The tanks been up now for about a week and the skimmers been on for 2 days. Everything seems to be getting grassy and fuzzy and I'm seeing growth of some kind of red dots on my base rock.

I just wanted to let administration know that every time I try to upload a picture it's says to tell you that the forum runner plugin is out of date. I don't have any idea what that means but figured you would, I just updated the app today and haven't had an issue before then.

For the last 2 days I have lossing fish. I should start with I just finished curing ich, which I last a tetra to, and one of the fish, a guppy I was holding on to for my mother had some fungus on it. That fish died 3 nights ago after I found him stuck to the filter. He was only in the tank a day...

So I just bought a female betta fish about I would say not even a week ago to add to my male. I wasn't intending on breeding them but now my female betta is really chubby. I have never breed betta's so no idea what she is suppose to look like. I have breed guppies and the stomach is sorta...

We bought a 100g tank yesterday and the light was working just fine. Now this morning when we went to turn it on it it won't. We checked to make sure it wasn't lose and we took out the bulb and put it back in. It flickers a little but then won't turn on all the way. What I'm wondering is if it...

I have a leporinus which is an aggressive fish. He is about 2 and 8" long. Since I moved him to a 45 gallon tank from a 10 gallon (about 2 weeks ago) he has been attacking a lot of my fish. Here is the death toll: 4 tiger barbs 2 columbian sharks 9 minnows I think that's it .. And this is in...

So I just bought 2 columbian sharks and last night they were both perfectly fine swimming sporadicly around the top of my 45 gallon tank. Now one of them has nipped fins which I know isn't from the other shark because he seems to be sad and keeps trying to help his friend stay alive, no nipping...

My question is if I add all the water and gravel decoration ect, but don't add the filter (I need a more powerful for the 38g) will it still be cycled or will I have to go through all the over? I would assume not seeing all the water from the 10 is cycled I just want to be sure. Sent from my...
