I used Aqua Clear for the treatment. So that would mean i should no have Little flow? Or alot of airflow? Thanks all.

My protien skimmer collection cup is just filling up with water that looks crystal clear. is this normal after a 25 percent water change. or is there something that i need to do? Thanks for the help.

My yellow tang seems happier than ever. Swimming all over and getting bullied by the angel but that seems to have simmered down now. I think that as long as i keep it at the 4 fish and good quality water they should be ok. Thanks

I am new to this all too. I chose the Emperor 400 and it is working nice for me. I kinda wish that I would have gone with live rock instead, but I am glad now that I started slow cause I am learning alot from my own experiences and from everyone here on the forum. I will have my 46 gallon...

Yes I have heard both ways on this one. I have heard and read that a 45 gallon is ok and then I have heard that a 100 gallon is the minimum. I do know that I am going to be setting up a 75 or 150 gallon in my bedroom. This is once i have learned more and have kept my fish alive and healthy...

I was told from a LFS that my keyhole angel and a yellow tang would be fine together. So I got the tang and now the Keyhole is nipping and harrassing the Tang. Is this normal at first or are they going to battle it out for a while? Did I make a Boo Boo on this one? Thanks for your support...

Thanks just wanted to be sure

This may be a dumb Q, but here it goes. How do you know when your tank has fully been cycled. Is it when the levels of NH4, NO2, NO3 and ph Peak then drop? Thanks

Skimming I have decided to let it run for a while and see what will happen. I already had to dump some stuff out of the collection cup so it must be doing something. The bubbles are only in the one side of the tank and I hope that they will go away. Thanks for the advise.

I have FO 46 gallon and have a seaclone 100 PS. I hear to keep it running all the time and to do half and half. What would be appropiate. For my situation. When I run the PS it dumps mass amounts of microbubbles into my tank. Is that ok for the fish? Plus how do i know where to set the...

I have not been able to get clear water for quite some time. Fresh or saltwater. My water is tap with salt added. temp is steady at 79 now and food is fed at morning and night in FO tank. 2 clowns and one keyhole angel. They seem to be happy as can be and cycle seem great. I have an...

Should i be running my PS in my 46 gallon FO tank?? Is it really needed? Thanks

I have an Emperor 400 in a 46 gal Bow. I just put it in 2 days ago. It is creating a large amount of small bubbles in my tank. Is this normal?? Will it go away? Any ideas of what could be going on or what I can do. Thanks for help.

I apparently have a junk heater. I need to get a new one for my 46 gallon FO tank. I cannot keep a steady temp with this one. Could someone please let me know what they are using and some out there that are good at maintaining a steady temp. Also would it be safe to have a Keyhole angel...

I have a 46 Gallon and have a choice between an Emperor 400 filtration unit or a Tetratech PF500 with the 200W heater built in. What are your opinions??

Right on!! I think that this is going to be a good topic to study. I would like to know the results of this test. It would beinteresting to know what the fish are going through when we are enjoying another great love and hobby. Thanks and hope to see some test results.

Online ordering I would be doing both livestock and Equipment. Esspeceially when I can save about 300.00 everytime I order. Prices at Petco are outragous.

I have no LFS that is worthy of advice. I livein the arctic weather of Wisconsin and don't have the resouces that most would with fish. I have a Petco here that has a selective amount of fish and the knowledge is short. Could someone who has ordered online tell me the process, and is it...

I have been reading alot on this forum and elsewhere and I am just a bit confused on the whole cycling topic. I read the post "The Birth of my tank" and just don't understand how you can introduce the fish in a matter of 72 hours. HOw does that work? Is it a personal preference to kill or...

Sound Yeah that is what I figured. But like anything else maybe i can slowly aclimate them to the sound over time. Then they would not be so shocked. Just an idea. Thanks

I am setting up a new SW tank 46 gallon to be exact. I have a nice home that is small and cozy. I am a huge Home theatre enthusiast and have a 10K sound system throughout the house with the main focus in the living room. My tank is in the living room about 15 feet from one hell of a...

Newbie with Q's Thank you all for the advice. I will be patient and read more. Just got back from the book store and I got some good material. Thanks

I am new to this and have a 46 gallow bow front SW tank. I started this on Saturday. I have a Penguin 330 Bio Filter and a Sea Clone 100 PS. I am not going to start with Reef just the basics. I want to learn as much as I can and ask the experts before I introduce Fish. I just have a few...

Protien Skimming My tank is new. About 3 days. The kind of skimmer that i have is a Sea Clone 100. It seems like it was a niec skimmer. Should i have it running duing the maturation process of my water? I also have a Penguin 330 Biowheel for filtration and an areator with a small stone in...

I am new to this and have a Q about protien skimming. I have it running now and it is causing a large amount of small bubbles at the point of water return in the tank. Is this normal? Will it keep doing it? Is there a way to prevent this so the clarity stays in the water. Thanks for the help.
