    Bryopsis or Hair Algae? Or something else?!

    Ok that's what I thought but some of my friends were saying it was bryopsis. I tried to tell them it didn't look like feathers or ferns. Just strings. But I ordered some phosguard and we are going to limit feeding. Thank you!

    Breeding Clownfish/Nitrate Problem!

    If we removed the gravel entirely, would that cause any problems with the tank? I know there’s bacteria and stuff in there we need. I think we’ve checked the nitrates from the tap before and it was like 0-5. As far as breeding goes, does anyone know if the male continues to twitch after...

    Breeding Clownfish/Nitrate Problem!

    We'll start cleaning them more often then. How can we change the gravel to sand without stressing the fish?

    Breeding Clownfish/Nitrate Problem!

    We've been doing these big water changes for about a month now. We have two hang-on Penguin 350's. We are not using RODI water because the biology department is funding our research. We mix our own and check the salinity about every 2 weeks just to make sure its where it needs to be. The tank is...

    Breeding Clownfish/Nitrate Problem!

    My boyfriend and I are doing research with the biology department at school trying to mate a pair of clownfish. Here lately, we cannot seem to keep our nitrates down. We check levels every Tuesday and Thursday and every time we check, everything is normal except nitrates (which stay anywhere...

    New 26 Bowfront!

    Can you send me the link? And how often do have to change LEDs? I was looking at the Odyssea 4x24 fixture too. And everyone that I've talked to said to trash the lights. lol

    New 26 Bowfront!

    I had my biocube set up for about a year and a half... I got the scallop about a month ago and it is awesome! It likes to hang out in the back of the tank but it'll swim around every once in a while. I feed it plankton twice a week and its doing great. I'll check those out too! They seem...

    New 26 Bowfront!

    Are there any other brands you could recommend? I'm in college, so I'm kind of on a $150 budget... ha

    New 26 Bowfront!

    What's a good brand for a fixture? I found one on aquatraders.com for pretty cheap, but I'm really not sure of the quality...

    New 26 Bowfront!

    I just transferred my 14 gallon biocube to a 26 gallon bowfront aquarium. The LFS let me borrow some lights until I get new ones, but I need to know how much I need. I have a clownfish, a sixline wrasse, a cleaner shrimp, a flame scallop, hermit crabs and snails in there. I have cabbage coral...

    leaky biocube!

    leaky biocube!

    But I will have to turn my ph off. So there would be no movement in my tank...

    leaky biocube!

    Ok so I need turn my pump off for a couple of days to allow the water level to drop low enough. Should I put an airstone in the tank until the silicone dries? And it's not going to hurt my fish, will it?

    leaky biocube!

    Do I put it on the inside or outside of the tank? And does it have to dry for an amount of time? (Will I have to turn the pump off for the water level to go down until it dries?)

    leaky biocube!

    My 14 gallon biocube has a leak at the top where the acrylic meets the black plastic. It's not that bad but I don't want it to get any worse. And I would really like to get it fixed. What can I do? Is there a type if sealant that's safe for my fish and inverts? Suggestions? Please and thank you :)

    Watchman vs. Clownfish

    My watchman goby is attacking my clownfish. They've been in the same tank together for about 3 weeks in my 14 gallon biocube with no problems. But the past few days, the watchman is sneaking up behind/under my clown and nipping at him. The clown will twitch like crazy and then swim away. Will...

    What do I do?!? Too much food!

    Parameters are pH 7.8. Ammonia about 1.5. Nitrite 0. And nitrate 0. Just did another water change (2 gallons) and buffered the water. What else should I do?

    What do I do?!? Too much food!

    My 4 year old neice decided she would feed my fish while I was at the doctor. She dumped over half a cup of fish flakes into my 14 gallon biocube. I got all out that I could with a tea strainer (the tea strainer couldn't get the really small pieces so there's still quite a bit at the bottom.) I...

    bubbles and red stuff growing on everything

    After a 4 day blackout with the Dino tank, there's still brown stuff covering my rocks. I turned the lights on this morning and bubbles are already starting to form. What do I need to do now?
