I have a variety of Corys in one of my long-established freshwater community tanks (60-gallons - tetras, small barbs, dwarf gouramis, etc. … no aggressive fish) and...I guess because of the addition of a new fish into the tank recently that exhibited no signs of any disease...a few of them...

Sorry I haven't got a photo, but what would small light brown "worms" be that are attached on one end to the glass, substrate, etc. in a freshwater tank? The eyes aren't apparent and they look like little leeches. Thanks for the help.

I've been trying to figure out how to add a refugium to my setup. It's a 120-gallon reef with a sump below in the stand. It's an Oceanic sump and while there is some room inside for, say, something 13 inches wide X 15 inches long, I only have clearance of 8 inches between the top rim of the sump...

Right now I have 4.4 watts of power compact lighting (for a total of 530 watts) on my 120 gallon (24 inch deep) reef and the corals are doing well but I do want to increase the lighting for aesthetic as well as, what I believe, will be the benefit of the corals in the tank. I have mostly...

Okay, the Stockman Standpipes that I fabricated completely silenced both of the hang-on overflow boxes....except....for a noise that sounds like a toilet flushing from one of them (the other doesn't do it at all. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the water level in the one...

I saw a cabbage leather that I'm interested in buying but it's a nice shade of green. I don't know for sure that there is a natural green morph of cabbage leather coral that isn't dyed...Does anyone know for sure whether there is a green cabbage leather or is this it dyed? I hear that some...

I have a smell coming from the sump on my 120 gallon reef. The water in the tank itself has no odor at all. I use Chemipure in the sump and change it every three weeks or so, and that makes no difference. Anyone know of anything I can use that'll take the smell away?

I'm getting ready to mount some coral that itself is mounted on small pieces of rock to the live rock while underwater in the tank, but I want to get this right. I was told that a lot of people have success with this using epoxy that is purchased at Home Depot. I bought one when I was...

I've got my 120 going and it has 120 pounds of live rock and a sump...no bio-medium. I have an Aqua-C skimmer hooked up and it's been running all the time. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not since it must be removing trace elements and I was wondering if it would be better to let it run...

I have power compact lighting on all my tanks, and I'm wondering if it's time to replace some...or maybe even all of them. I've read that they last a lot longer than regular flourescents...I've even read that they are good until they just plain don't work anymore. They're for a planted tank so...

Micro-bubbles.....I have them entering the tank because the return from the skimmer is going into the section of my sump where I have the powerheads for the return of water back to the tank. Would it make any difference at all if I have the skimmed water return in the other section. I can't...

I'm moving along with this 120 fish only with live rock 120 gallon tank of mine....I conquered the very loud noise coming from the overflows with the construction of Stockman-type Standpipes and a little very fine tuning that they needed once they were up and running. Now I have yet another...

I just set up a 120 gallon tank with an Oceanic wet/dry that I'll be using as a sump. I have two overflows and a waterpump that drives 1,300 gph. After I filled the tank and started the water pump, the two overflows made a whole lot of noise. It was a loud gurgling sound. I put some foam into...
