He seems to look healthy. There isnt anything visible that would suggest otherwise, other than his attitude. He doesnt eat when I put food in the tank, but he isnt skinny either. It is really confusing. He does look stressed out though. Any other suggestions??

My yellow tang is acting kinda funny. He is hanging out at the bottom of the tank and acting real docile. I recently, not knowing any better, put a hippo tang in with him and this let to agression. I removed the hippo right away but ever since, the yellow tang has been acting like this. He will...

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good article that explains how to build a sump. I understand the concept, but I havent been able to find a decent diagram that shows how to build one.

I only have two fish. A tang and a small trigger. I think I have narrowed the problem down to my filter and protein skimmer. They stink. Neither is working well at all so I think I am going to replace them. Can anyone recommend a good filter and protein skimmer for a 55 gallon tank?

My source water is Ro/Di and is also uv sterilized so i dont think that is the problem. I cut back on feedings to see if that will help. I usually change my filter cartriges every month. Maybe I need to do that more often. I am also cutting back on the lighting. I tested nitrites, amonia, and...

I have some green and red cyno bacteria growing in my tank and I am desperately trying to get rid of it. I have been told that Chemiclean works pretty well so I dosed my tank yesterday and am still waiting for results. I was just wondering if anyone had an oppinion on this matter. Any help would...

Out Walmart has Culligen water. Its fairly cheap and easy to transport. Will that water work for my aquarium. I know it is filtered and run through an RO unit.

Do you take the whole filter out of the water and rinse it in the sink or what?

Thanks for the replies guys. I can't wait for the coraline to start growing. I was wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy testing supplies. Right now I have the basic master test kit that tests for PH, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Amonia. I would like to be able to test for Phosphates and...
