    how low "flow" can you go?

    I have a 45 gal corner tank, odd positioning for circ pumps but I only have one now. Have no idea how much flow it kicks out but it seems good. I was looking into getting two hydor koralia nano 240gal/hr additional pumps and hooking them up to a ocean pulse duo wavemaker. Are they not going...

    Crypto/ich cured overnight?

    He had the spots again last night and again this morning they were gone. Rooting in the substrate? Should I just wait it out to see if the other fish show signs or just treat it with the "natural" stuff I got?

    Crypto/ich cured overnight?

    Noticed white spots on the eyes of my Domino damsel and progressed overnight to head and upper trunk. Other 3 fish are fine, I rushed out to get some medicine and my LFS sold me "Herbatana, 100% Natural Expellant for Parasitic Diseases" Reef and Marine safe. It's a treatment that I can use...

    waterproof silicon

    Whoops, well I'll give it plenty of time to dry before any water hits it. Again it's above the waterline so hopefully once dry there's no chance of breakdown. We'll see, I guess!

    I transferred a tank

    Would it be best to replace the sand or add more "live" rock? Water changes are helping, the nitrates are "down" from 80-160 to between 40 and 60ppm. I just read some where that the rocks can continue "leaching" nitrates into the water and I wanted to make sure I didn't continue to waste...

    I transferred a tank

    Hopefully this belongs in this thread. I transferred a tank and put new water, same old sand and was told by an aquarium joint that I could put the dead rock that came with the deal back into the system no problem. Seems I may have been told some bad advice because the nitrate level was around...

    Bought tank off craigslist, setup/cycling ?

    First of all hello and I definitely have the salty bug now as I've always had freshwater in the past. I'll try to keep this brief. I bought this tank on a whim for myself and my 2yr old son. It was purchased off Craigslist and it had about 20gals of water with 4 damsels. It was pretty dirty...
