Does anyone have any experience with the Maxi-Jet upgrade? http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=AF-SF1600&Category_Code= I would like to add one or two, but I use a wavemaker. One of the customer reviews says that his broke within 2 months using a...

I have a 30G tank with a 10G fuge/sump. I would like to add a frag tank, but i am not sure if the plumbing will work. I have very limited space, and my sump is not big enough for another pump. I will have to add an external one. My fuge/sump is a 10G glass tank. The closest that i can put the...

I am embarrassed to say that I have a few corals that I can't identify. Thanks for any help.

I bought a mandarin at a lfs on Saturday. My tank is loaded with copapods. The mandarin was fat and had a very healthy color. On Sunday I noticed that its face was discolored. Almost like it was turning white. It sort of looked like it was shedding! On Monday it was dead and it was completely...

What do you do when you can't catch the fish to treat them in a seperate tank? Does letting the main tank go fallow mean shutting doen the filtering system as well? Should pwc stop during this period? Thanks...

3 weeks ago, i built a refugium out of a new 10 gallon aquarium for my 30 gallon tank. I bought, cut, and glued acrylic panels into the tank to section off my refugium. Tonight, i am sitting in a nearby room and hear a "POW". I go in and look under my tank, where the refugium is, and it has...

Can Ich be brought into the aquarium with corals? I have a Royal Gramma and a Coral Beauty, that have been in my 30 gallon for 6 months. I have not made any fish additions, but I have added a coral or two in that time (not QT'd). Over the last week or so, my Gramma has been getting spots. For...

I had suspected that my large emerald crab has been picking at my Xenia. Then, the other day, I saw him pick up the whole rock that the xenia was on and start tearing it up. The xenia had not been doing well, so I thought maybe he was scavaging around. Now I saw the crab attack my feather...

This clear looking thing is growing among my mushrooms and polyps. I have not noticed it before.

My Xenia has all of sudden sterted losing it's tips and does not expand when the light comes on. I have done several PWC's and all water parameters are good and the same as it always was. I did move a few things last week, and relocated both of my power heads for better circulation, but the...

A friend is quitting the hobby and giving me his 55 gallon tank and FW equipment - to go with my 29G Reef, 29G planted, & 29G Community tanks. (Gee, I hope my wife doesnt notice!) I have debated a Discus tank, but I am not sure it will work within my mental boundaries. I do not care for bare...

Is this a Pulsing Xenia or a Clove Polyp?

This starts out as a small shiney ball, gradually gets bigger, then expands with greenish armlike things

I have a 29 gal FOWLR tank that has been cycled for about 8 weeks. 6 weeks ago I added a Perc Clown, a Yellowtail Damsel, and a Royal Gramma. I monitored water quality daily. SG has always been between 1.0230 and 1.235. Temp is between 79 and 81 Deg F. There was concern that I added too many...

My Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp just molted. How often will it do that? If I don't see, find, and remove it, will it screw up my water? Thanks

I will be stocking my new 29 gallon tank in the next week or so. I keep flip/flopping on what kind of fish that I want to have. I plan on three small peaceful fish that are reef safe and have no problems with inverts. The only fish that I must have is a Royal Gramma. I also wanted a Flame...

My new SW tank is ready for fish. All I have to do now, is get no3 down to an acceptable level. My LFS said the a 10% pwc would do the trick. I changed 3 gallons in the 29 gallon tank and no3 remained the same. Should I do a larger change, or try a few more smaller ones? (It is a lot easier...

My tank has been cycled for a couple of weeks now, but I am going to wait a few more to add fish. I plan on doing my first pwc soon. I have a python siphon. I was wondering, how I am going to vacuum the substrate without picking up all of the small snails and crabs? Most of them I can see, but...

I recently added a Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp to my new SW tank. When I get around to adding fish, i want to put in a Royal Gramma, Yellow Tail Damsel, and a Flame Hawkfish. I recently saw something that said the Hawkfish may eat the Cleaner Shrimp. Anyone have any problems with Hawkfish and...

My 29g SW setup is in the middle of the cycle. (ammonia=0, No2=5, sg=1.023, Temp=78 Deg F) My pH is 7.8. Should I be concerned about this now or worry about it after the the tank is done cycling. (my research suggests a pH of about 8.2 for a FOWLR) Thanks

I am in the beginning stages of a 29 Gallon SW setup. My water temp does not want to come down. I have a 100 watt heater, (1) 300 gph power head, wet/dry filter, protein skimmer. Substrate is in the tank, but no LR yet. I filled it with freshwater to test the equipment and check for leaks. I...

When I left my office Fri evening, all of the fish were doing great. I came in this morning and found that three (3) of my Rasbora's were gone ( I had six). (I only found one body) All of the water stats are good, with Nitrates at 10 ppm. All of the fish look good, including the remaining...

My Rainbows have Ich (started sometime over the weekend), and I am going treat the tank with salt/heat. I just don't know what temp to raise my tank to. I have seen anywhere from 82 F to 88 F in this forum. I have a 30 Gallon tank with Rainbows, Gouramis, Rasboras, Cory Cats, and a common...

My Angle fish has developed some fungus in three or four places. I bought Jungle Fungus Clear tablets and put them in the tank after I took out the carbon filter. My question is; how long do I wait before I put the carbon filter back into the tank? The instructions are not very clear, they just...

I just bought a small Gold Gourami for my 30 gallon rectangle tank. My initial research suggested that it should work in my tank, and the LFS said that it would be fine...but....after a night of worrying, I researched some more and have found that the Gold may not get along with my Dwarf. I...
