I recently setup a tank to put my clarkii pair and it is to be used as a spawning tank, I've added sand from my display and a few good size pieces of well matured live rock. It obviously isn't handling the ammonia though - I'm around 1.0ppm now, maybe slightly more. What do to now? Water...

I have hundreds of these in my sump and was wondering if anyone knew what they were? I highlighted a few so you know what I'm on about.

So, I got the glass for my custom tank today, the measurements are: 1x 600mm x 400mm 2x 600mm x 200mm 2x 395mm x 200mm So it ends up being 600mm x 400mm x 200mm. I originally got the sides cut using 2mm glass as an aquarium calculator saw this as safe. The bottom was then cut using 4mm...

In relation to another post on had on here, I've broke down a tank so I could refurb the stand, while storing the tank I left the sand in there with an inch or so of water above it. Coming to setting it up again and I'm thinking it's probably best to clean the sand out? It doesn't look the...

I recently broke down my 70G to overhaul the unit and a few other things, the majority of its contents (coral, live rock, fish) all went into other tanks/containers. I put a fair amount of live rock into an unheated (but does have power head) bucket, it's been in there for a day now and it's...

I recently made a canopy for my fish tank and was wondering if it was OK to paint the inside with white gloss? I've heard it done like that plenty of times but I mean white gloss you would paint your house with (skirting etc...) ? Thanks.

Ok, I have a UV torch (LEDS) and shining them anywhere near coral really illuminates them. I'm considering pulling the LEDS out and making an led bar, would this be safe for my tank? It would look amazing at night.

Ok so, my mate picked this coral up for me earlier and forgot to ask what coral it was. Hopefully it's a simple one.

So, I've owned this Fantail for about 4 years so far, always been happy, never had any problems with him (nor his mate) but over the last few days he has been acting really odd, lethargic even. He keeps resting on the bottom of the tank, even almost on his side, he will rarely swim away from...

Odd title I guess lol. I recently got a new tank (well, new to me) off someone and it's pre-drilled with an overflow. I'm not too sure how it's suppose to be setup but I drew a basic picture, I think it has enough detail to explain where I am with it. I think I need to add a siphon tube to...

Noticed a few marks on one of my Clownfish yesterday, only looked like it had a nip on its dorsal fin, today it looks like the pictures. Basically, it's whole one side looks like it's peeling, it's holding its dorsal fin down aswell. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, it's the best I can...

This is gonna be a tough one, I can't get a good enough picture but, I'm curious and hoping to learn what this might be. I'll describe it first! It's basically like a orange mat with green "heads" growing off it, hopefully you can see what I mean in the picture. Wonder what it could be?

I've had this one little thing growing on my rock for a while now, not sure what it is but, it's alot bigger now than when I first noticed it. Hope it's clear enough on the pictures, it's basically red with some tentacle-like things coming off it. Thanks!

Was moving some rock around earlier and I noticed two jelly like things growing on my rock? They both have an apparent opening, other than that they are just like jelly, milkish colour. Any ideas?

So, I'm pretty sure I have these on some live rock? Saltwater Aquarium Inverts for Marine Reef Aquariums: Christmas Tree Worm on Rock, Multicolor I've just been calling them feather dusters but, they are paired and twirl out of their holes when they come out, pretty cool. Had them for a while...

So as the title suggests, my new bulb is flickering. Just got a new 10,000k bulb (15w) and I'm using an electronic ballast to power it, it's apparently suitable for 14w, 15w and 18w. It comes on fine, stays fine for a while and then randomly starts flickering? If it's flickering and I turn...

Had these on some rock for a while now, finally got round to taking some pictures. Not the best quality but I think they are usable, any idea what they are? I'm talking about the brown disc things.

Hey, Recently picked up a new 90litre tank: Betta Lifespace Aquarium 90 L Silver Nice looking tank when it's setup, only problem now is the lighting, it has 2x20w T8 bulbs, I cant find ANY decent 20w T8 bulbs to put in there, anyone got any idea on where to get some? Found a nice set of 15w...

Bought some more live rock today - got lucky, found a piece covered in zoas, big zoas. Something else is on there too, it's hard to explain or take a picture. They stem into the rock and branch out into 3 areas it seems, funky looking, they dart back into the rock when I go near them?

Just got another 4 foot tank, works out to 37 UK gallons. I already have a reef setup, 20 UK gallon tank, I was wondering what extra I would actually need to switch from the 20 to the 37 tank? Other than the obviously needed sand, I currently run a koralia one powerhead which puts out 1600LPH...

So, I was looking at my live rock earlier and noticed something new. I don't have a picture yet but I'll try and get one. It has a short stem and on top it's a flat red disc with some fine tentacle-like things coming off it. That's my best description lol. It also has a little dot in the...

I've recently made my tank open top and my tank has those **** glass lips for a condensation tray. I've managed to remove one quite easily, by pushing a sharp blade through it over and over and over... The back one is ridiculous, there's not enough gap between the glass and the lip to get into...

So, I got a new hermit crab today, expecting to see the usual red legged hermit crab, instead it seems it's this crab: Is it OK to put into my tank?

So, I decided I would like to have my tank open top (it had a crappy hood) Didn't fancy buying a whole new light fitting as mine suits me fine (only power compact *T8) This is built out of drain guttering (PVC) the reflector is screwed inside as usual, I cut a groove on either side of the...

I started a thread searching for base rock in UK and I managed to come across Ocean Rock (the ONLY stuff I can find anywhere, eBay etc..) I actually have a piece of it, weighs about 6kg and would make some nice base rock broken up. Here is a pic: It's quite porous although I'm not too...
