I have had fish for a long time, freshwater to marine, and then back to freshwater. I do not have the time (or money) to have marine anymore, or really a tank with the heavy plants I used to have previously. I currently have a 29 gallon, tank with stand & canopy. I have lots of fake plants...

A ex co-worker of mine gave me some macro algae. I don't know what kind but it has leaves that look like a trumpet bell. It has really taken off and the nitrates in my tank are stable and never go above 10ppm. I also like the way it looks. Well I talked to him about 6 months later and he...

I have had my corallife PC lights for 7-8 months (I guess) and I went to turn them on, and one just glowed orange/yellow at the end and made a buzzing noise. They are over the water, but Darin at Captive Reefs( where I bought them from) said that was ok, as many people do that. Is that what...

Ok I want to make my sand bed deeper, but I can't find aragonite play sand, but I already have about 35 lbs of aragonite sand from the fish store. I really don't want to buy more at 27 dollars a bag, can I add regular play sand since I already have aragonite. Will that mess up the PH or will...

Anyone ever had an an anemone get picked on? My bubble tip was doing really good (probably grew 30% in a month) and getting his color back. I have a 1 inch long maroon clown that adores him, then I added a 1.25 inch Singapore Angel (I do know now they get big, they told me 4 inches when I got...

One of new fish has ich, I'm going to put him in quarantine and treat him. 1) Any advice on the best ich medicine? I have rid ich for my freshwater, but I havn't had any sick fish in probably a year or two so I don't know the best medicine that is out there anymore. I think I also have...

I need an over flow for a 29 gallon. If anyone wants to unload theirs I will be willing to purchase. I don't care if it is homemade or purchased, as long as it works and is in good shape. Thanks

I have some questions about my sump/ref thing i'm trying to build. 1) Can you syphon water directly out of the tank into the sump? If so I was thinking about using an old intake to a power filter, that way nothing could get sucked up through the tube. 2) I have a 15 tall tank that will...

Well it has been a while since I have posted since my computer has been "sick", but I have a question. I have a sea clone (I know, they suck) It started leaking where the tube attaches to the main body of the skimmer, and I messed with it, gave up and I havn't had a skimmer on my tank for the...

I guess I have had my tank for a year and a half, and actually had pretty good luck. My fish were flourishing, corals reproducing (I just have mushrooms) and I had those little white worms covering the glass (those little white specks everywhere) water always tested right on, even the nitrates...

I have a sebae clown, 2 damsels, and a PJ Cardinal, 2 sand sifting snails, 5 margarita snails, CBS in a 29 gallon. My parameters are PH 8.1, ammonia 0, trite 0, and trate 0-5 (I don't know how I manage that) I have some single mushrooms scattered around, and a feather duster. I'm having a...

Since I got my PC light, I have added a single metallic green mushroom, and a single red mushroom, and a hawaiian feather duster. I already have some Kent Phytoplex, is that the right stuff to feed all three? What would be best? I have regular flakes for the fish, and a frozen saltwater...

When I ordered my PC lights from Captive Reefs, I also ordered a seachem calcium test kit. The first time I tested my water I'm pretty sure I messed up because my levels would have been over 1500, so I just quit the test, and went to test it again today. I opened my kit and I have misplaced...

Is 4.48 watts per gallon enough for "easy" corals?

I couldn't get the file to attach to this message, so I put it on my website.... and here is a link. http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=viewall&albumID=229386427 Anyone know what this is?

I think I know what I want in some new lights for my tank, 36inch 2x96 PC lighting, with fans, leg stands, need a cover to protect bulbs from water and would prefer moonlights. Is there any brand that I should stay away from? I want to try and keep it around $200. I was thinking the Satelite...

about a month ago I noticed all these white speckles on the glass. It looks like paint splatter. If you look really closely, they look like little spirals. I was thinking baby snails, but they aren't moving. I have one very small white feather duster thing on a live rock, and that one is...

Ok I have had my tank set up for over a year now, and seems to be doing really well. My bf gave me a Penguin 400 from one of his tanks to put on my saltwater tank. I previously had a Penguin 170, i think. (I took the bio-wheels off). Before the filter switch, my nitrates hoovered around...

I have a sea clone 100 ( i know they kinda suck) but this is what I have for the time being. It has not been collecting much lately so I cleaned the sponge. Still isn't collecting anything. I played with the air valve. I hate to be asking a question that I'm sure a lot of people have already...

Ok I'm not very good with computers, but I tried to upload a picture this morning, and it says my file was too big. I don't have any other pictures under my profile. It is a .jpg file. Is that the problem? I went to "photogallery", then "my gallery", and then "upload photos" and then tried...

Ok, I have had my long spinned urchain for about 4 months. I just moved my salt tank a little over a week ago, the ammonia went up to .75, but I did water changes and treated with amquel, and everything is getting back to normal. A snail died, so I guess he was the culprit. Just last night...

Ok, I have a 29 gallon, with a stand that can accomidate a 20 gallon tank below. I'm going to try and make a sump below. I was reading the article about sumps, and I was going to make an over flow box using a specimen container (here is a link to what I have...

man it has been a while, I have been through a leaky tank, damaged stand (due to leaking) my saltwater tank has been sitting my my floor for a month or so, I moved and bought a new tank, stand and canopy. Well here is the question..... Temp is suppose to be between 78-82 right? Well with my...

Ok, I didn't think that gold sevrums were big vegaterians. I had one gold sevrum for about a month, he constantly ate the java moss that was growing on my driftwood till it was almost all gone. I put lettace in the water to try and sway him. Then his health started declining, his belly was...

Normally I do a partial water change about every 10 days to keep my nitrates at 0. I have 8 gallon gas cans that I go get RO water with. About 3-4 days before I plan on doing a water change I put the salt in and run a bubble wand or powerhead for 24 hrs. Well I missed the planned day to do a...
