Ok I have had a 29 gallon going for about 6 months now, mollies, barbs, and tons of fake plants..lol...But I tried my hand at a planted tank with a 10g and the plants outgrew the tank literally. So I decided to change the 29 to a planted. I got everything set-up..went with a layer of the same...

OK here goes... I got a small hair algae problem. NOt bad really just on one rock and alittle on the substrate, it hasn't spread and its been there over a week. Just an eyesore. All my water parameters are in line with what they should be. This tank is only a month old and the coraline is...

I have 2 damsels one blue devil and one solid yellow one(not sure the name). My question is are all damsels mean by nature. The Blue one has such a cool personality while the yellow one is alittle more intense. I actually wanna get rid of the yellow one and get a clown but I keep hearing that...

At what point and how often should I add a carbon pack to my SW tank? Is it nessesary? It is stable and no fluctuations in water quality. I know in my fw tanks I change the carbon every 2 weeks like religion, but I have never used it in my SW tank.

I tested everything agian tonight. ph-8.2 Ammonia- 0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-30 gravity-1.023 I am guessing this was a quick cycle due to LR and LS. Now can I add some cleaning crew and take one damsel back? I wanna keep the blue one for another month before I actually get a clown. Also seeing as I...

I would love to know what kind of fish this is and some info on it. How big do they get? Are they friendly with clown fish?

3rd day after adding fish my readings are: temp: 80 PH: 8.0 Ammonia: .5 Nitrite: 1.0 Nitrate: 30 Alk: 300 Salinity: 30 Gravity: 1.022 shouldn't the ammonia be higher? I am not new to cycling tanks just new to saltwater tanks. Most my freshwater tanks would have seen higher ammonia by now.

I have just started a fowlr tank and am excited about finally getting it going. I have been sucessful with FW tanks of various sizes for years but always wanted a SW tank. I am starting with a 10 gal just to get my feet wet. I know that is not recommended but I am working on a budget and do not...
