Im sorry. Its on a 50 gallon. Not even a true 55 lol

Hi everyone. Its been a long time. Been busy fighting cancer and feeling good today. So I have a question. I have one of those aqueon tank from Petsmart I got 11 years ago. Never been moved and on a flat stand since it was first setup. Today I was cleaning the trim and noticed these cracks. Is...

Hmmm I wonder could this be causing it. A few weeks ago my floor and stand got wet. Maybe it became uneven and causing too much pressure on the front glass..... Time to shim

Was doing a water change on this aqueon 55 gallon I have had up and running 9 years. Never moved it from the spot it's in. It's on a full stand and leveled since day 1. Today after the 20% water change, I noticed real small air bubbles in the right seam. From the top to the middle are these...

Upon doing more research it turns out cleaner shrimp will eventually start to figure the same thing out. Source: Tidal Gardens

I take it you didn't read the whole post. The clowns were 6 years old. And no chart will tell you how aggressive they will be come against a certain coral lol. It didn't bother any other fish or coral. Turns out the clowns knew the duncan corals were being fed mysis shrimp so in turn they...

Hey guys. Has anyone had a green polyp leather literally frag itself? I mean actually ripped a piece of itself off and grew the missing part back in? https://imgur.com/gkXPivq https://imgur.com/hFCVCDD https://imgur.com/WNlZsg7 https://imgur.com/FmDIK1x https://imgur.com/AuIHTGZ...

Very true. I already know the pains involved in removing fish. I had to relocate 4 green chromis once in a tank full of caves and trust me that was NO fun lol. Right now the tank is empty (had to remove some killer clownfish) I know I want a diamond goby and a clown goby for sure. I wanted a...

I hate to keep posting all the time like this but It's like once I got back into the hobby it's been problem after problem. First that weird algae, then the killer clowns and now I have a serious amphipod infestation. I mean I have THOUSANDS of them. They always keep my zoas closed up crawling...

Got rid of the clowns. They were just wrecking too much havoc on my aquarium. Now everything is back opening up fully and happy. Peace has again been restored to my little ocean lol.

Not this time. I mean I had them for so long and they spawned so many times over the years. I don't know what happened, they just got crazy one day and decided to kill anything in the aquarium. As a precaution I even moved every coral over to the right side of the aquarium far away from them and...

Welp removed the Clowns as I couldn't take it anymore. Bought a cute watchman goby and they destroyed it for NO reason. This is a big tank so not sure why they were so mean all of a sudden as i have had them so long. Once removed it's like the corals were so happy. everyone is out now and...

I re-scaped the WHOLE tank. and as soon as they see anything, they go straight for it in attack mode. And you would think the bigger female would start the madness but it's not. It's the little timid male and as soon as she sees him starting, she follows suit.

So I have had the same clowns for 6 years. Lately it's like they have went nuts! No matter what I put in the tank they attack it to death. It started with some Duncans. They attacked it CONSTANTLY! Smashed their faces into it and started grabbing the tentacles and snatching them. The 9 headed...

Hey all! So I have a client that want an aquarium cause he suffers from ptsd and aquariums calm his "nerves" as he says. He is in an apartment built in 1917 on the third floor. His landlord said he can have an aquarium. So he got a 50 gallon with a stand that spans the length of the tank. His...

Thanks!! I put the strawberry "cage" over it for a week and eventually they realized they can't touch it. then in the middle of the night while they were "sleeping" I moved the duncans to a magnetic frag plug on the other side of the tank. They swim past it but never touch it. I have learned now...

Hey everyone! glad to be back posting! Finally kicking cancer's but! But I have a problem. I bought a big colony of Duncans and my clowns that I have had for years saw me feeding it mysis and now they are tearing it apart thinking it's mysis shrimp in it all the time to the point the duncan...

Yep I always rinse it. For some reason Phosguard and leathers don't like each other. Come to find out in google search that several people have had this issue and it caused seachem to do their own investigation.

Well this is going to be hard to believe. It wasn't the skimmer at all. It seems to have been the Phosguard I was adding. Once I removed it and did a water change, EVERYTHING opened back up and looks happy. I put the skimmer back on and things got better :) No more Phosguard.:banghead: It really...

Nah I have had it for a while. Just a few vinegar soaks every now an then.

Thanks guys. Think I'll just keep the skimmer on. Just don't understand why my ricordias look great without the skimmer and soon as it's put on, they close up until the skimmer is back off. No microbubbles or anything bothering it. Weird i swear.

Hey guys. It's been a LONG time since I posted on here. Cancer had a strong grip on me but I'm back now ;) I know this is a loaded question but what do you guys think about not having a skimmer on a 55gallon lps, softie tank. I have a eshopps skimmer on it now but i have a very low bio load...

Time to get some carbon fast! lol

Wow been a long time since I been on here. This cancer is kicking my butt. But I have a question. It might be a dumb question but do leather corals excrete toxins or do they have to be close to a coral to release it. I have some ricordias that were fine until I added 2 green neon leather corals...

Nah no worms. This algae is weird.
