I know there is a compatibility chart on here, and they're all over the internet, but I'd prefer to find out from people who have experience... I was thinking about getting a picasso trigger for my 75 gal tank. The only thing I have right now as far as fish or inverts goes are 2 damsels that...

I was out of the country for about 3 months, and had a friend looking after my place, including my fish. I had given away my good fish so they wouldn't die, but I kept a few damsels and a blenny in the tank to keep some life in there. Well, I don't think my friend did a very good job, as the...

I have a 75 gal tank with stand, lights, heater, HOB filter, approx. 50# LR, crushed coral, and a few other misc. supplies. I am thinking about selling it in order to buy a puppy that would be a little easier for me to care for. Is there anyone who might be interested in it? I'm not...

My tang that I've had for like 3 weeks now, has decided to wedge himself under a "shelf" in my LR and pretty much stop moving. None of his fins nor his tail are moving. All he's doing is breathing. He will also go to another spot in my LR and sit there nose pointed up and against the LR...

I have a 75 gal FOWLR. I don't plan on making it into a reef aquarium, at least not any time soon. Can I put a starfish in my tank? If I can, any suggestions as to what kind might work well? I'd also like to get a few shrimp, as well as a few crabs and snails, will the starfish be ok with...

I've noticed while my convict tang is swimming around, every once in a while, his entire body will "twitch". I've noticed he's starting to do it a little more often lately. Its not really anything playful or whatever. Any idea if something is wrong with him?

I've had my 75 gal FOWLR going for about 8-10 weeks now. I had 2 damsels in there for the past 4, yesterday added a convict tang and today added an algae blenny. I noticed a few light spots on the blenny, but I'm not sure if this is in any related to my problem. I just looked at my tank, and...

I just put an algae blenny in my 75 FOWLR. I have 2 damsels (both yellow tail) and a convict tang I just added yesterday. The damsels for the most part, left the tang alone, but one of them is all over my poor blenny right now. I separated the damsel for the time being, and I know what...

I just noticed that my algae blenny only has 1 "feeler" on his underside, while the pics I've seen show 2. Will this other one grow back, or is this permanent? Thanks!

About an hour or so ago, I added a convict tang to my tank. I used a method to acclimate him that the LFS has told me to use before, and I've never had any problems. I just did a water change, and they said everything with my water was fine. At the store, the tang was a little shy and hiding...

I have a 75 gallon FOWLR tank and wanted to get some little guys to help keep things a little clean. I was going to get a blenny and maybe a few snails and/or crabs. At some point, I definitely want to get a shrimp or two (scarlet, banded coral perhaps). Will they get along with the shrimp...

Ok, I have a 75 gallon tank with some live rock in it. I also have 2 damsels in it (that if they play well with others I'll keep, otherwise I'll take them out). Here is a list of fish I am looking at getting over time. Please let me know what you think! Yellow Tang Kole or Convict Tang...

I'm starting to notice a little of what looks like a brown "powder" on my live rock. Any idea what this is? I'm planning on cleaning my tank tomorrow, should I try to suck this stuff off with a siphon, or what should I do (if anything) about it?

I have a question about lighting at night. I have a 75 gallon tank with a couple of fish and live rock (just kind of starting out). How long should I leave the light on each day? I usually turn it off during the day when I'm at work - I figure the room its in is lit ok. I like to turn the...

I am leaving this afternoon (Friday) and won't be home until Monday night... I have 2 damsels in my tank right now, will they be ok going that long without getting fed? Any ideas? Thanks!

I just put 3 damsels in my new 75 gallon tank. I've had the salt water in for about 2 weeks, and the live rock for about 10 days and tonight I added 3 damsels - 2 are blue with yellow tails and the third is a solid blue one. At first, they were all kind of quiet as can be expected with being...

I am trying to get my aquarium up and running, but I am having a problem with my Emperor 400 filter. I set it up as the instructions said, but when I plug it in, it makes a loud ratcheting sound and the water doesn't flow through it. The last time I tried it, I finally got the water to flow...
