I guess I will try another site.

Hi, I currently have a 75 gal. SW tank with a wet dry filter and and protein skimmer. I originally had a zebra lion, a yellow tang, a clown, and a blue devil in there. Unfortunately, I let the PH get a little low and lost the lion and the tang. I had had the tang for over 3 years. Anyhow, I...

It's been a while, but I have sold my SA Cichlid tank and decided to go back to SW. I have (3) choices that I am interested in and need advice. I understand there are a lot of opinions out there and will be willing to hear the positive and negative. First, I have just sold my 55 SA Cichlid...

Thanks a lot.

OK thanks. So far I have 0 Nitrates every time I check it. I also have more than twice the filtration necessary. I will keep an eye on things. Talk to ya'll soon.

Thanks for your response and nice to meet you too.

I didn't realize that the red oscar's grew to 8" in the first year. I was thinking about buying the standard 3". That is amazing that they grow 5" in one year. I have had those other fish for 2 years and their growth has been about about 2-3" each, total. I have a good relationship with my...

I currently have an African Cichlid 55 gal. tank. I do understand that you should generally not mix Africans and S. Americans. However, my fish are big. I am not totally good with the names so please excuse. I have a very large (5-6 inch) African which is blue/green near the head, and kind...

Thanks for your comments. I think that whether it be water quality (PH for example) or parasites/bacteria, the black moore reacted. I have heard that some fish react in defense by secreting the white film, and this one was a fatal reaction. As for the neon, evidently he is used to the...

Hi, I am a pretty experienced aquarist - I had a successful salt water aquarium for 3 years and have about 10 years experience with fresh water. I read a lot of AA, but for what happened yesterday, I am baffled. I have a 2.5 gallon tank in my office. It has a filter, biowheel, bubbler, and has...

Regarding the copper treatment, I see now that that would have been better, but I was reading a lot of stuff and trying to come up with the best answer for all my fish. There are a number of sites that say: Puffers respond well to almost every available medication, though caution should be...

Quick Cure is a widely used Ich Cure. Information can be found here: Aquarium Products | Aquatic Medications | AP Pro | Quick-Cure Also, I did adjust the temperature AND PH before the FW dips. I observed that a number of the parasites died and fell off the fish after the 5 minute dip...

It all started after I came back from a weekend vacation. Ich had taken a strong foothold while I was gone. I have a 55 with 2 large HOB's and a protein skimmer. The fish were a smaller V. Lion, a volintine Puffer, a damsel, and a tomato clown. In addition I have a spiny star fish, an...

Hi. It's been a while since my last post, but I wanted to ask which lion fish ya'll thought I should get. I have a 55 gal., fish only tank with the following fish: 3" spiny box puffer 2" yellow tail damsel 2.5" Valentini puffer 3.5" Fox face 3" tomato clown medium sized atlantic anemone I...

I just wanted to give an update and get some opinions. For the last week since I put my other fish and other biowheel/filter in the tank, I have had the following readings every day: PH-7 Ammonia- 0.5, maybe 0.7 Nitrate- 5-10 Nitrite- 0 I have done a 10-20% water change almost every day. My...

I moved all the fish last night without problems. I also moved the other estabished filter with bio wheel to the 55. Everybody is happy. I have added some pictures to my gallery if anybody is interested. Nothing fancy. I want to keep it open because I am considering a Tea Cup FW Sting Ray...

Thanks very much, I will bring a picture tomorrow. Any other opinions are totally welcome. Rob

Thanks for the comments. I think I will watch the numbers a little longer just to play it safe. Although adding an established filter with biowheel would probably be safe enough. As for my fish, I have updated my profile. The parrot is at least 3 inches and is very nice. I understand that...

I have a 20 gal with 17 inches of fish in it, so I have purchased a used 55 gal tank. I thoroughly cleaned the new tank and filter with liquid dish soap and water, and thoroughly rinsed and wiped down. I rinsed my rocks and added them with declorinated water on 2/11/06. I put in a rinsed new...
