Should I take out the fish while I do the rockwork, or try and leave them in?

ah, ok....my salinity is at .020, pH 8.2, nitrites 0, nitrates 0, ammonia 0

my testing results are all in the normal range. I have been on top of them since this whole ordeal began. The lights are about a year old I guess. I put new filters on the power heads about every other week. I also change the filter on the biowheel about one time a month. What should I do with...

I have tried Joe's juice, as well as some other brands of Aptasia killers, tried shrimp, hot water, etc etc etc. They are getting the best of me. I have been controlling my lights and run them for shorter periods now. I have a set of three, lunar, itinic, and daytime lights. I feed every other...

I am so frustrated I am ready to give in the towel. Maybe someone can help me??? Let me give a little background info. I upgraded my tank almost a year ago from a 30 to a 60 gallon aquarium. Things were great. I got a new tank and some more live rock from someone off craiglist, and stupidly...

here's a picture, I tried, sorry guys...

I was at the lfs a week or so ago and they had a "special needs" copperband. He had been shipped to the lfs and arrived to them with what looked like an exploded eye. It was pretty gross, and it was obvious he couldn't see well out of it. THe sap that I am, I took it home. In the q-tank he went...

Will using the hot water in the tank kill everything else living on the rock too?

I am selling a 30 gallon saltwater setup, with a great black stand. I am throwing in the light and protein skimmer as well. I also will be selling a bunch of saltwater fish ( I am getting this weekend from someone who is selling me HIS tank). I know there is a Kole tang, and a Marine Beta. There...

Do I need to inject each one, that could take forever? Or can I douse the whole tank?

I know some of you were really helpful about a post I wrote about something like this earlier. But I needed a bit more info on what to do here. I am getting my new tank and rock etc tomorrow, and want to be prepared. I am trying to upgrade my tank right now, and I found someone on craigslist...

I was treating him with copper. I don't know if he had ick or not, but I try and quar all my new fish and treat just to be on the safe side.

thanks THanks for the advice guys. I will keep my fingers crossed about the main tank. Billy, I grew up in Buffalo! Nice to meet a fellow east coaster!

should i have done this? Another reefer last night on another site told me to put him into my main tank or else he would probably die. I acclimated him and released him in (and he does look happier) but should I have done this? Is this going to cause major problems in my main tank? I am in the...

I just got a new copperband a few days ago, and put him in a q-tank when i got him. He's been being treated with copper the last 4 days...however, the nitrates in the tank soared. I don't know what happened because I took the water from the main tank, and today the levels were right on when I...

boil them suckers! I had one aptasia currently in my main tank; have not yet dealt with the new live rock. You guys are great! I shot hom away with boiling water in a turkey baster, and it just disintegrated in a million pieces. Woohoo! I just hope they stay away. Is it possible for me to...

I am trying to upgrade my tank right now, and I found someone on craigslist that had one set up for sale. I was planning on taking his fish (they are moving and cannot take them) and selling most. I am keeping his tank and accessories, and his sand and live rock. But here is a problem. He has a...

How would I go about upgrading my tank. I would like to increase the size by about 2x. Do I need to start cycling all over again?

I bought a new fish today, he was a "special needs" butterfly with only one eye. However, I got him home and set up the q-tank, and the little filter that i usually use isn't working. It is 11pm at night, and I won't be able to get a new one until tomorrow. Is it better to just leave the tank...

So I bought some marine fish and corals from saltwatersifh.com. This was my first time ordering online, and I was a little worried. After proper acclimation, everything seems to be doing well, except for a rainbow goby and a green ricordia (which I think was dead when I got it....I'm waiting...

thanks, will do!

I just bought some corals off saltwaterfish.com, and I am worried one of the green ricordia is dead. How would I know, what would it look like? I bought two, and one looks great and was attached to the frag, the other wasn't attached and looks kind of mushy and limp. Someone please respond...

Is it true that an orange linkia star will eat tree sponge? Also, how large will they get?
