    Heat/nitrates

    is it possible that with my AC being out this week and my tank reaching temps of sometimes 83 degrees that my nitrates would be abnormally high? I do religious 20g water changes every Sunday and they have been between 0-10. I did a 20g water change on Saturday to try to lower the temp and when...

    Update!

    Seems as though things have balanced out in my tank. I'm excited to say I added an amazing fish to my tank a few days ago, a Tomini tang that is fatter then all get out and really healthy. Here's a picture. Thanks for listening, just wanted to celebrate not being frustrated with my tank at...

    TDS out of your tap

    After reading a post on another forum it got me thinking and wondering about the TDS levels out of the tap around the country and the world. I live in Alpharetta Ga and it is 50-55 out of the tap here. What is the TDS coming out of your tap?

    Bristle tooth or kole tang?

    I'm not looking to get a new fish right away but I'm thinking my next addition will be either a kole tang or a bristle tooth tang and was looking for opinions and people's experience with them.

    Conch help

    I got a conch yesterday to help stir my sand. After acclimating it I placed it I my tank and it moved from one side of the tank to the other and then buried itself almost completely under the sand. This was at about 2pm yesterday, when I checked on it before work this morning it was still in...

    Macro algae/copepods

    I would like to try housing a bristle tooth tang in my 90g tank. But before I do I would like to make sure that it as well as my foxface will have enough food. As of now my foxface is doing really well but I would like to give him more. I have been reading a little bit about Ogo algae and...

    Rock transfer

    I have a 36g tank that I am breaking down. I want to move all of the LR from it to my 90g tank. If everything is going well in both tanks, is there anything special I need to do to transfer the rocks? Or can I just move them quickly from tank to tank?

    RODI

    I've got my RODI set up and making water. I am trying to figure out if I should use my 35g trash can to mix my salt water and then just make a 5g or 2 buckets of fresh water for top offs or should I make all fresh water in my trash can then once I move it to the 5g buckets mix in the salt.

    Hydrogen Peroxide

    I had a very short conversation with someone at work today about them dosing their FOWLR tank with hydrogen peroxide...What would be the benefit of this? All I really see online is killing algae in reef tanks.

    Puffer x2?

    Would I be able to house 2 small puffers in a 90 gallon tank? I really like the blue spotted puffer but also like the Valentini as well. It would be great if I didn't have to choose one over the other.

    Good news!

    Hey, with all the death that happened in my tank I am now getting to a more stable place. On the 9th I added a bicolor angel and it seems to be doing really well. Exploring the tank not hiding all the time, eating when I feed and picking at the rocks and algae strips I put in between feedings...

    Feeding clam to green brittle star

    I picked up a few raw clams from my local grocery store. I would assume I just need to open it for him and drop it in the tank. Is that correct?

    RO/DI!!!

    Today I got a new (to me) SpectraPure CSPDI-25 system. It was a great deal, I only paid $50 for the thing. The first thing I am going to do is replace all of the pre-filters I am extremely excited seeing as I have been using tap water with conditioner (shame on me I know). Looking to see if...

    Tank overheating/lights

    I have a 4x48in T5 HO fixture that was overheating my water. I solved this problem by putting a fan over my sump. I would like to get that fan out of there and was thinking about getting an LED fixture to reduce the heat. I have a 90g fish only tank. If I get non reef LED lights will I lose my...

    Brittle/CC starfish

    After the unfortunate incident a little while back in my smaller tank when my brittle starfish ate my PJ cardinal I have now moved him to my lager tank. Today I picked up some frozen whole silversides from work and was wondering the best way to go about spot feeding them.

    Long story but please read (I'm getting to feel defeated)

    I am curious to see if anyone can help me figure out why all of the fish I have added to my 90g FOWLR tank has died. After cycling the tank I added blue spotted puffer. Then after a bit of time I added a small kole tang and fox face lo and banana wrasse and a flame angel(not together but over...

    Banana wrasse

    My banana wrasse appears to have a divot on the top of his head. He's acting normally and eating fine. Does anyone have an idea as to what could be going on with him? I know the picture isn't great but he's fast!

    Discus?

    I currently have a 90g cilchid tank, a 55 angelfish tank, a 36g saltwater tank and a 90g saltwater tank. I also have an empty 56 tall that is currently an eyesore in my living room. My question is, would that be large enough to house discus in? If so, how many could I have and what are some of...

    Brittle star ate my cardinal?

    I have a brittle starfish that is maybe 6 inches from tip to tip. I can't find my PJ cardinal anywhere in my tank and my starfish looks like this instead of skinny and flat like normal...did he eat him?

    Angel help!
