I'm in the process of changing apartments and in the new apartment I'm downgrading my 125g to a 55g. I kept my clown loaches, my bristle nose pleco and my common pleco. I'm going to keep them housed in a 20g tank until I get everything set up. The problem is, that won't be until early...

My wife and I picked up 10 lbs of live rock yesterday for the fowlr tank we're setting up. I've started the curing process, placed in a rubermaid tub, completely submerged in saltwater, heater, power head ect. I am going to start scrubbing tonight, my question is to what extent do I need to...

Do you have any links for the HOB systems?

We have a 20 gallon saltwater that has been running for a little over a year now. We haven't had any real problems, just a suicidal clown that decided to jump out of the tank. We're moving into a new apartment and we will have this tank in our living room. We will be adding live rock in...

Would live rock, powerheads and a strict water changing schedule support that bioload?

We have a 20 gallon aquarium which contains two clowns a few snails and a handfull of crabs. We've been running a Ac300 on it for quite a while and I'm getting tired of the salt creep. Are there any other filtration options for such a small bio load? I don't want to spend a ton of money, but...

I have one redspot in between my thumb and palm, she has one on the pad of her thumb.

We bought a used 125g tank the other day. It was used as a saltwater tank and contained a Lion Fish and a Stars and Stripes puffer. We took the tank home and cleaned it out, inside and out. After we got it done my fiancce and I each have sore spots on our hands, almost like we were stung by...

We've let the water sit with airstones and power heads for days, still salt left. I'm going to try switching brands.

We have a puffer, a Target puffer to be exact. He's about six inches right now and is in perfect health. Due to apartment constraint we're looking to give him to a good home. We don't want to ship him, so local only. We're in Phoenix, the West Valley, we're willing to drop him off as well...

Currently we're using instant ocean salt to mix our saltwater. We can get the sg we're looking for, but we always have extra salt on the bottom of the tub. We've tried using hot water to begin, using cold, using less salt, all to no avail. Does anyone have any good advice on getting all the...

the new starfish was acclimated for about an hour or so before introducing him into the tank. He's been acting fine. I know he's not dead, because he's moving some of his tentacles. He roams around the tank and eats algae. About once every 3 days I feed each star a nice hunk of krill, and they...

First: Tank is a 30 gallon with live sand, water parameters are normal, inhabits 2 chocolate chip star fish, 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, and a 2 cleaner crabs. The fish were quarantined for about a week and a half in a hospital tank before moving to the new tank (Fully cycled). We have had 2...

Our 60 gallon had an ich outbreak this year. I was worried about our clown loaches so I did some research and came up with this plan. I used half the amount of rid ich as directed and slowly raised the temp up to about 85. I doubled the amount of oxygen in the tank and left it that way for...

Yes, all three fish are in the same qt, but they were never together before hand. The clowns have been in qt for a while, just for standard new fish qt.

I woke up this morning and our royal gramma has got ich. We moved him over to a 10 gallon qt. We've currently have two true percs qt in there. I gave hime a quick fw bath and I was wondering if I could go with formulin or copper based meds without hurting the clowns?

Yeah, they're both swimming about mid tank now. The whole bottom of the tank is done in rock, so they both have a lot of pockets to claim for their own.

We added a royal gramma to our 20gallon tank tonight. Currently it's home to one Yellow Tailed Damsel, One Choco Chip Starfish and a few small crabs. Right now they're feeling eachother out a little bit. There's been some nipping and the gramma has "roared" at him a bit. I don't want to wake...

Do you guys feed your starfish anything specific or do you just let them graze? We were thinking of chopping up some shrimp for our chocolate chip. Should we just throw it in the tank or should we put it on him? Any advice?

he's pretty cool so far, he hangs out at the top at night and holds one arm under water so he's completely submurged. So far we haven't seen him eat, but I'm going to try to feed him some krill tomorrow

We picked up the little guy yesterday from petco, we checked the salinity levels and temp requirements and everything is right on where he needs it. When we put him in he just chilled on the crushed coral and as soon as the light was off he was off to the races. He scaled the side of the tank...

We feed our target puffer a goldfish midweek to hold him over between crabs but this week the goldfish was too big for him to eat and he left it alone. After about three days I pulled the goldfish out and threw him in the 50 gallon community tank. He's in with some balas and clown loaches and...

That's what we were looking for. Thanks!

We spent the fourth in Oceanside and got a chance to spend a lot of time on the beach and in the harbor. We saw a lot of small to medium sized orange fish in the harbor and we couldn't identify them to save our lives. I'd almost swear if I didn't know better that they were midas cichlids or...

It's just texas holey rock. I like to take smaller peices and stack them together, kind of like legos. I really like that peice though. It's four peices forming a little horse shoe with one on top for a roof. The kulih loaches took all the little holes and our bigger pleco, sparky lives in...
