    Cherry Grouper

    Right now I have a 5" Panther grouper, 4 1-2" Undulated trigger, and about a 10" snowflake eel in my 55 gal tank. However, I own and am working on putting together my 225 gal tank. Then I will have major decisions to make on what to keep in it and then convert the 55 into something else. I...

    Cherry Grouper

    Need a quick response....I'm in the store. I can't take my eyes off of the beautiful cherry grouper they have. Will he be alright with my undulated trigger and panther grouper already in the tank? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    What happened to our Lionfish (not eating)

    Looking for any thoughts as why our lion-fish suddenly quit eating 3 weeks ago and has consequently passed on. Nothing in the tank set up was changed , I just noticed a few weeks ago that when I was feeding the tank , he was not interested in eating . I tried buying a fresh bag of krill and...

    Lots of air bubbles?

    I wasn't keeping the reservoir water level up high enough in mine, so when water flowed over the sides into the return pump sections it produced all those micro bubbles that got sucked up into the return pump and spit back out into the display tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Something to be concerned about?

    More rookie questions about the anemone in our 29g cube...it had nestled in the sand for a week+, but has since removed itself and is floating around now. Tank stats and questions...ammonia 0, trites 0, trates 40, pH 8.1, SG .0123, temp 80. Have been battling the Cyanobacteria (I think, or have...

    Something to be concerned about?

    I do have an option of taking the anemone out of the cube and putting it in our 55 gal reef tank that is more mature - a year old +/- a month. It has a porcupine puffer, lion fish, and two blue fin damsels. The black clowns in the cube seem to care less about the anemone. Sent from my iPhone...

    Something to be concerned about?

    Thanks so much for the guidance, you also mentioned lighting. Should we leave the light off for extended periods of time. It has the regular light that we turn on in the day (about 10 hours) then switch it to the blue setting overnight. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Something to be concerned about?

    I am sure we probably overfeed, so we will cut that back. It's on my calendar to change water out today. Is there any special precautions I should take when changing? What are other protocols for my conundrum? Is a clean up crew on the sand and live rock in order? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Something to be concerned about?

    These have just popped up in our cube. Not sure what they are, to be concerned or not, and what to so about them. 28 gal cube, running about a month now, two black clowns and an anemone in the tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    What is wrong with my fish?

    I've had fish for 1 1/2 years, not sure if it was live caught or tank raised. The fish has been in the tank the entire 1 1/2 years. Tanks mates since Dec. 26 are porcupine puffer, lion fish, and cleaner wrasse. Fish bus not currently eating right now, just picks at sand every so often. Normally...

    Returning member after emergency leave...need quick help with new tank

    Follow up and conclusion.... Ended up waiting as long as I could while I acclimated my other fish that night to my 55 reef tank. Kids slept great but I lost the sleep battle that day. When I finished up that night it was 3a.m. and I had already been up since 7p.m. the day before (32 hours), but...

    Returning member after emergency leave...need quick help with new tank

    Set up everything and cycled water. Water checks out real good, but I accidentally stirred up the sand pretty good. Can see the rock vaguely, but have fish waiting to go in. Will it harm the fish to put them in the cloudy water??? Please help quickly, have youngins that need to go to bed. ...

    Epic tank set up disaster

    Long story short: • Bought used 28g nano. • Leak tested the display area, but failed to get water into overflow filtration area to which had a leak. • Had already put LS in tank so I lost the initial water introduced to the LS. • Sealed tank with 100% silicone. • Had put the LS in a small...

    New to Nano's

    Urgh, just ran into another complication. I was in the middle of putting my sand, water, and LR into the 28g nano when I had to pack a bag in 5 minutes or less and catch a flight out of town. I got the LS in with the water, but failed to get the salt solution into the tank. Will the system still...

    Has any one had a porcupine puffer fish?

    We have had one for over a month now, and love the personality of him. He is as mentioned above a messy eater, almost taking the food out of your hand when feeding. We have had problems with acclimating new tank mates to him and must divide our tank in half with clear divider so puffer gets used...

    Well what a relief it is...my awesome marine LFS came through and expressed their apologies for the leaky used nano cube that I took home from there. They wanted to refund the full price or if they had another one of similar size and value would trade it out. I have already resealed the cube...

    Absolutely, customer service is number one in my book. I will pay double for the same item at the store that is interested in "helping" me and not "selling" me when I am looking to hand out my Benjamin's. We are putting a call into them today since they are closed on Monday's ( we both might be...

    Well....bad to worse now. I bought the nano and stand from my - up to now dependable - marine specialty LFS and have discovered during the leak test, that indeed it leaks ?. So for now, I have put a dividing wall up in the 55 and have the wrasse in it, protecting it from Mr. Porcupine Puffer...

    New to Nano's

    I bought my wife and kids a nano tank after having our 55 gal reef tank going for the last year. With that said, we also bought a cleaner wrasse while at the LFS, however, it is being attacked while still in the bag going through the acclimation process. I have LS and also some cycled LS from...
