    three of my fish tanks (2 salt, 1 fresh) my nitrate levels are through the roof!

    Get GFO from bulk reef and if you have a sump get some chaeto morpha algae that will soak up those nitrates and phosphates. (this is for saltwater, not sure about fresh)

    Vivid Aquariums?

    I was wondering if it was safe to order fish from vivid. I want a hippo tang and I am frightened of getting one because I hear they are so prone to ick. I already have a blue eye Kole and a yellow tang, but the hippo is my favorite fish and I have been waiting to get one.

    I know someone that has a blue hippo in a 120 gallon for almost twenty years and he's only around 10 or so inches so a hippo would be fine in a 125 gallon tank

    I setup a quarantine tank today and was wondering how do you keep the bacteria alive

    I setup a quarantine tank today and was wondering how do you keep the bacteria alive in the tank if you leave it running with no fish in it. I set it up for my tang but cant catch him so now there's no fish in there.
