I learned the hardway..Publix,or any "machine" water doesn't go thru the DI process.Big trouble down the road.Get RO/DI water from LFS.But don't drink it.I had all kinds of algae problems, switched H2o and tank is clear.

I have a 6line, scooter blenny and foxface. Want to get something before I do my final clown (maybe 2)then flame angel.Trying to stay away from jumpers, as I like the lighting better without eggcrate.Corals not an issue at this time, that's a ways off. 75 gallon ..any ideas?

Hi all..I have a pleco that needs a home..approx. 12 in long very healthy. Also 2 small catfish.Letting my 55 fresh go.Love these guys, preferably at least 75 gal to stay healthy. Will deliver close enough.Thanks.

Ok, I need more thoughts and opinions.LFS said scooter was fine for second fish for 3 month old 75 g. NOW my fault of course I'm reading how they only eat copepods.Gave whole background info and was told this eats myesisjust like wrasse. Well any info I find says they are competing for...

tHANKS Melosu..I drained the overflow, bent the net up and got him out..only to find the next morning in there again.Did it again, and third day's a charm.Hopefully stay out of there.Your pic is absolutely gorgeous.If you have a sec, whats your fave blenny?

wow, I can't be the 1st person this happened to. Hiding really well, bought smallest net I could find.( 75g tank)I'm having no luck,tried food in net, anything else??

Help please..1 fish in there..how to get out without stressing more?Already turned it off, net wont fit by a long shot.Anyone>>>>>>

Flatworms. Sixline is in already, should I add other fish quickly or move wrasse to qt tank, if I can even catch him.Don't wanna stress him, but I'm stressing now.Only going to have couple clowns and maybe a goby or blenny.Went to store for gramma and got wrasse.

Hi all..after having nothing but hermits and snails for weeks, went to great store and was told because we had bad worms, 1st fish should be sixline wrasse.Now I see that they should be added last?? Planning on docile community tank, 75 gallon with lots of rock caves.He or she is doing great...

I'll try and get more details Monday when they're not so busy.I'm sure it's my lack of knowledge(big surprise)but even the products website stinks.Detailed instructions my hiney.

Thanks cc, yes that is it.PVC does go up and down,was told to do that.But it also pulls completely off.Doesn't seem right.In about 10 inches of water.I also paid more lol

sorry,not very clear. Can't adjust it to a reasonable flow.Too much coming out of waste tube on top where collection cup is.All it has to adjust it is the pvc "elbow" I think. Very frustrating.LFS said difficult piece of equipment to get just right.But the help ends there.

hi all..tons of skimmer questions, but can't find mine.I have a Sea Storm 75 by Sea Life Systems in sump.Tried what the store said..still too much waste water.Driving me nuts.No fish yet, just snails and hermits.Anybody??

So I shouldn't mess with it? No raw shrimp? My 1st sw (obviously) but have had fresh over 10 yrs..like pets,don't want to kill my son's 1st Nemo!

Hello to all and thanks in advance.First let me say this site is awesome..thanks so much for it.OK..I have a brand new 75 gal fowlr.The plan was to buy LR uncured.Luckily, LFS called said have cured for same price.Apparently a friend was breaking down tank, here you go.Great deal.But the guy, an...
