Hello all. I am getting ready to move about 45 minutes from where I currently live. I have a 60 gallon tank right now, and am considering upgrading to a larger tank. However, I had a few questions on the best way to achieve this. Obviously, I am going to need more sand and liverock. But...

Hello all! I am looking into getting a Blue Reef Chromis, but know they are a shoaling fish and should be kept in groups. My tank is 60 gallons, and I have a percula clown, black and yellow blenny, and various inverts. I am still looking to get a flame angel, and possibly one other fish. So...

Hello all. I just wanted to share my catastrophe with everyone, and also ask a question regarding the culprit equipment. I have had this RO-DI unit for a year now. It has worked wonderfully and I have had no complaints - until yesterday. I think it all started last month, when I changed out...

Hello all. I have had my tank up and running (with the exception of a move over a year ago) for about 4-5 years now. I have a Regal Tang, Percula Clown, and Black and Yellow Blenny. The tang was my first fish, followed by the clown, and the blenny came about a year ago. All of my fish were...

Hello all. I woke this morning to find Nemo looking a little odd. At first glance it just looked like he had sand on the side of his mouth, but upon closer inspection it seems that he may have been in a fight. The left side of his mouth looks like he could have been bitten or something. It's...

Hello all. My little betta, Napoleon (also known as Chumley) has been constipated since I returned home from out-of-town. This has been over a week now. I first tried to give him peas and he would have none of that. I have also been doing the epsom salt baths once daily. He is still as...

Hello everyone. I have had a death in my tank community today. I have had a Percula Clown and Blue Tang for around 2-3 years now. I recently added an Auriga Butterfly after she was QT'd for 4 weeks. She had been in my main tank for about 2 weeks or so. My constant concern with her was not...

hello all! i have a percula clown that has been in my tank for about 2-3 years. he has recently taken to my rose bta and seems quite happy. however, i just noticed a small white bump that looks to be under his scales near his head and another smaller one near his tail. i have tried to search...

Hello all! I have a 60 gallon cube tank and was wondering what everyoen thought about the maximum number of fish for my tank. I currently have Blue Tang, Percula Clown, Rose BTA, and various snails, hermits, and shrimp. I also have a Auriga Butterfly and Black and Yellow Blenny in the QT. Do...

Hello everyone! I just received my ro/di unit from filter direct on ebay. I have the RD106 with the holding tank. I'm a little confused on the final outcome of my water. There are two lines - one which is connected to the 6th stage filter and comes out the dispensing faucet they provided...

I have been trying to decide which fish to get next. I currently have a Percula Clown and Blue Tang in my 60 gallon. I have been looking into getting a blenny. I have narrowed it down to a few: Tail Spot Blenny (Ecsenius stigmatura) Black and Yellow Blenny (Ecsenius lividanalis) Bicolor...

Hello everyone! I am having quite a time trying to decide what fish I want to get next. I currently have a 60 gallon tank that has been established for about 3 years or so. I have a Blue Tang and Percula Clown, and various snails, crabs, and shrimp. I don't have any corals at the moment, but...

Hello all. I know this is an older post, but I was actually just on the phone with Nolan's and I don't think I will ever go back there. I was wanting to exchange my tomato clown that I just purchased there yesterday for another more peaceful fish. The tomato is in my QT right now. First off...

Hello. I just purchased a Rock Beauty angel on Saturday. She's in the QT and has been very perky and swimming all about. I tried to feed her some frozen Formula One, but she didn't take to it. I checked on her this morning, and it seems that her right eye is starting to become cloudy. She's...

Hello all! I haven't posted in awhile, but lately I've been having a few problems I thought someone could help with. First off I have a 60 gallon tank that's been running for about 7 months. I have 1 Regal Tang, 1 Percula Clown, Frogspawn Coral frag, some polyp coral frag that I have yet to...

Hello all. I recently purchased some Chemi-Pure, but have yet to put it in my tank. I just did a cleaning today and thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and put it in, but I'm not sure where the best place would be. I don't have a canister filter or anything. I was thinking I should...

Hello all. I'm in Pensacola in the midst of the hurricane aftermath. Thankfully there was no damage to my home. I merely had a few pieces of fence blown down and several snapped pine trees. I know I was one of the lucky ones. However, I am concerned about my tank. I have battery powered...

Hello all! As I am preparing for hurricane Ivan I am worried about my 60 gallon reef tank. I have purchased a couple battery powered air pumps so that I will have oxygenation in my tank. However, I am concerned about when the power does come back on (hopefully it won't be off for long when it...

Hello all! First off let me say I am in the path of hurricane Ivan. I don't have a generator, but I did buy two battery powered air pumps (one for my main 60 gallon and one for the quarantine). So, I am a little nervous about that. And to make matters worse, my starfish (Echinaster sp.) that...

Hello! I am normally posting over in the saltwater area, however I have a problem with my Betta. I just have a normal small little plastic tank with gravel that "Chumley" has been in for about 2 or 3 years. He has always done really well making his bubble nets and happily eating his pellets...

This is my first coral fragment. I put it in my tank three days ago. Today I noticed that it looks like several of the tentacle tips have fallen off. Could this be caused by too much water flow? I had been playing around with the power heads to try and get the flow just right for the coral...

I am pretty sure that the new coral fragment that I just bought is a frogspawn coral, however at the LFS they called it Octopus Coral. The tentacles are green, with pink tips (I will post a picture after I get it acclimated to the tank). I just had a few questions regarding this coral...

I have tried to get a picture of my blue tang to show you guys, but she never sits still for a second. Even when I do get a picture of her, the lumpiness never shows up in the image. I was just wondering if anyone who has/had a regal tang could tell me if what I am seeing is normal? I'm not...
