I didn't know too much about them but they seemed to be somewhat of a prehistoric looking organism which can usually live in extreme environments so I figured I would ask before doing anything. The intention was to wait but I didn't know If I could add during the cycle process to see if they...

Can copepods be added to a tank that has just started the cycle process? I want to start the seeding of copepods to my nano reef as soon as possible and I read that they would be able to survive but I wanted to get some other opinions.

I feel bad for the fish. You have not done enough research and have already planned on buying the equipment. You need a tank, light, powerheads, filter, heater, sand, salt, live rock, test kit, net, thermometer. Buying water from Petco in my opinion is a bad idea since none of their fish seem...

Two clowns in a 9 will have to be moved to a larger tank once they get bigger. You can keep a pair in a 20 gallon but a lot of places say 10 gallons per clown. I wouldn't keep all of those in an 8 gallon but I'm sure it could be done. The fish may not be to happy with the living environment. My...

So I had a bit of a disaster that was caused by some over feeding in the aquarium. This problem has been resolved and the parameters are stable and where they need to be but we still have a slight green tint to the aquarium water. I was wondering if there was a way to rid this from the aquarium...

It all depends on how convenient your LFS is from your house. I purchase my water from the grocery store. Usually runs about $1.50 for five gallons and the salt is really easy to add. All you do is measure and stir and make sure it has dissolved into the water and you are good to go. I have been...

I have been looking into creating a nano tank and holding some sexy shrimp. I have always liked the look of the Fluval EDGE. Does anyone have experience with this aquarium and would it make a good home for a saltwater shrimp tank? I am open to other suggestions as well. I like the biocube...

We had a little problem with over feeding and the tank went to [moderator edit]. I was able to rescue the tank in time and get rid of the rotting food but the water continues to have a slight green tint to it. I am not sure how to get rid of this. Would it be alright to use the drops that clear...

My clowns do the same thing! :) they really like to swim towards it maybe for some exercise and then they will also let it push them and they dart across the tank.

I purchased two clowns over the weekend and we bought some pellet food for them. How often should we feed them frozen brine shrimp or is it not required? I know they can be bought in cubes but how much of the cube should we place into the aquarium? The only things in the tank are two clown fish...

We have a ton of snails but had three tons of food. It is looking better now and I'm just hoping there are no dead snails littering the sand with their shells. The water already looks better and only has a few pellets. Looking more clear/blue now though. Hoping it all goes well.

Tested the water and the nitrites and nitrates are really high. We removed all of the live rock and washed the fungus off with hot water. Ran the net through the sane and collected the fungus and the ton of extra food. I think she had been hardcore over feeding since we only have two fish but...

Yes. Everything was done correctly and readings were perfect.

I have no idea what happened to our aquarium. We bought two clown fish and a small batch of polyps. My girlfriend said the tank was turning green and I was unable to come over until today. The polyps were dead and the tank is a very noticeable green and there is fungus growing on the rocks and...

Will I be able to keep Sexy Shrimp with my two Percula Clowns and Yellow Watchman Goby?
