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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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?

I am wanting to add some more life to my tank, and wanted to know if it is possible to add too much at once. Currently I have: -30 gallon setup -protein skimmer -waterfall filter -lawnmower blenny -false perc -cardinal -six line wrasse -emerald crab -colt coral -mushroom coral -toadstool coral...

Okay, after much frustration, and a horrible ich outbreak, things are settled down. I did a mass restructure of my tank, (I had had some really bad advice...yada yada) and I am looking to retock my tank. Here is the setup. I have a 30g tank with a protein skimmer and a wheel filter, about...

I found my emerald crab on top of my toadstool leather tonight. Will he possibly harm my coral? I thought these guys were reef safe? Thanks!

could an ammonia level of .5 mg/L and nitrite of .25 mg/L kill a fish?

I just have regular florescent lighting, like what came with the hood when I bought the tank. It works fine right now as I only have a colt coral and some chromies and a blenny.

I recently (4 days ago) got two fish from Petco, a perc Clown and a Royal Grama. They seemed and looked healthy when I got them. I put them into my tank, stupidly without quarenteening them first. I noticed today that the Royal Grama seems to have ich pretty bad. I wasn't sure when it developed...

Okay, so this past week I had a colt coral (a newly added guy) who wasn't looking so hot. I did a water change about a week ago as well. My levels I think were all okay. Backup, here's what I have in my tank...I had, for a while, a star, clown, blenny. Then I added a lemonpeel angel, three...

I have a 55gallon saltwater tank, and about a week ago I purchased a colt coral. All my levels are fine, I have no other corals, and I have abut 6 non-aggressive fish. However, my coral has been drooping these last couple days, and I am a bit concerned about it. Also, my little clown fish...
